7/8 Cubs (ZAMBRANO) @ Pirates (YOUMAN), 12:35 CT CSN

[Mizzou]

If on June 1st you would have told me we would be within 4.5 of first in the division at the All Star break, I would have told you to lay down your crack pipe. So I guess what Im saying is Ill take it.

Is there a site that allows you to view the standings from a certain day?

Baseball reference does? How do you get there?

rally time....... ???

screw it.

[Soul]

Let's just get the hell out of here and get to the break.

 

At least the Brewers are sucking on the road right now too.

[Shavo]

Eh, 4.5 GB is fine. Our power hitters really have to start jacking some though.

Who do we play after the break?

[UMFan83]

=D> nice inning Bob.

 

He always pitches well after all the damage is done

very very true

[Keener98]

This team will not win with this black hole at catcher. Fix it Hendry and not with Hank after his rehab start.

 

 

 

I think you have that the wrong way

 

Yawn

 

Clever

Nice, thanks!

Wow I knew we've been missing something for the last few weeks.

Actually, Aramis and Soriano have been. Its at D Lees feet. Having a guy who hits for a high average isnt bad if its a 2nd baseman but for a 1B playing in Wrigley Field...?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez doubled to left field

[Butterscup1679666578]

Sorry Cubs, it's too much for even a fake rally. 4.5 gb is fine compared to what we were.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa struck out swinging

Mark Grace?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot flied out to center field

[Outshined_One]

Quick, find a creative way to fake rally!

 

I'll say the Cubs score two, load the bases with two outs, then get a bases clearing double...only one of the runners forgot to step on third and gets called out on appeal.

[Keener98]

Losing two out of three to these guys without facing their two big league pitchers is a very cub like way to end the first half. We could be 2.5 back if we could just hit terrible lefties.

 

Exactly. While the Brewers losing 3/4 to the Pirates is not great, at least they can say that they lost to Snell and Gorzelanny. Who did we lose to? Youman and Malholm

 

True but Tim Redding just shut the Brewers down today so

What about him? I dont remember a lot of winning years when they had Grace.
