I like giving Lilly a 5 run cushion.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Easy out!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Theriot proves better than Izturis at not trucking into Ramirez.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wasdin grounded out to third, 5-3

[Soul]

This is good, 'cuz I've got to leave soon. I'll just consider this one a win and head out 8-)

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Theriot proves better than Izturis at not trucking into Ramirez.

 

That's an improvement in itself.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bautista called out on strikes

[Butterscup1679666578]
