[bukie]

5 runs on 2 hits that inning. For the Cubs.

[bcruise]

So, um.....why did we trade for Kendall again?

[sweetpeteman]

#*%^ the heck is going on here? Hill and Jones doing good? What strange dimension have I fallen intoooooooooooooooooo!

[erik316wttn]

[TruffleShuffle]

I love Lou!

A dimension of sight.... of sound..... and of mind. A dimension of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. We've fallen into.... the Twilight Zone.

Lou's house is safe... Z gets pulled...80 pitches

In all seriousness when things like this start to happen you know you are in for a special year.

[Bruce Miles]

Z out. Gallagher in.

I think I'll sit on his doorstep and inject heroin into my forehead. It's been a while since anyone has done that to Cub leadership.

[Allroy]

Bases juiced for Koyie Hill. Bases clearing double. Or grand slam. Put it down.

 

NICE

 

You better go get a lotto ticket. Now.

[ctcf]

Well played Lou.

 

Very well played.

[TruffleShuffle]

[BeerHere]

It's about time they started killing the opponent for a change.

I think we're forgetting how bad the Giants are. But yes, this is still freaking weird.

Watching this clownish Giants team today makes last night's loss all the more painful...

 

We handed that game to them with those 7 BB.

 

Nonsense. It was ALL Kendall. The 7 BB's had nothing to do with the loss.

[WindyCity]

Z's day is over. Gallagher on the mound.

 

Good move -- Z's averaged a high pitch count / game so far. The pen should be able to finish this game fairly easily.

[C.C.]

Lou's house is safe... Z gets pulled...80 pitches

 

Good job Lou....

[E.J.]

Awesome. Glad Lou pulled Z. He could use a low pitch-count outing.

Of course the 7BB had something to do with the loss, but you're forgetting that those BBs can also be placed squarely on the shoulders of Kendall, whose game-calling abilities have obviously been way over-hyped.

[98navigator]

This lead prevents Z from getting a QS.

 

Lewis out to CF. 1 down

[inari]

I would've left Z in for one more, but I'm certainly not gonna crucify Lou for this. It's a smart move.
