7/30 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Lilly) 6:05 pm CT CSN ESPN

[rickrolled]

when is the last time we beat a lefty?

[Keener98]

How many pitches is that for Hamels?Can we please get him out of there. How can a team with hitters like Soriano Lee Aram DeRo suck so damn badly against left handed starters gah!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-22 when they trail by 3 runs or more at the end of 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[E.J.]

Let's just pray that's the last inning for Hamels.

[jaydee]

Murton has had some ugly AB's tonight.

 

 

looks like he's trying to hit the ball into the lake.

 

He's probably thinking the Cubs love Floyd so he's trying to imitate him in every way. He's doing a pretty good job so far.

 

except that murton is an inferior hitter by far

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cherry in to pitch for the CUBS

He'd hit nothing but singles if he were imitating Floyd...and would suffer a debilitating injury w/ moments of waking up in the morning as well.

[Derwood]

wow, you guys are slow

[inari]

Cherry's ERA is 3.86? Wow, goes to show that's not particularly good to gauge a reliever.

[Keener98]

Well, hopefully this is the last time we see Cherry, and we get the new RH pitcher Thurs for the pen

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burrell called out on strikes

[witty alias]

12 pitch inning not depressing enough? All strikes.

 

Only because they were swung at. At least 5 or 6 were out of the zone.

[bhogg]

what a friggin dumbass

[Mizzou]

Hahaha, seeing that little Asian guy running and bumping into that fan was hilarious.

that's mostly why it's so depressing. :)

[Flames24Rulz]

And another ass goes on the field.

 

This is becoming utterly embarrassing.

[inari]

I was ready to get angry about another fan, but this guy just fell. Hope he's alright.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Helms grounded out to third, 5-3

yeah, he didn't hurt anything, it looked like. But he looked massively wasted... so maybe a headache tomorrow.

Ruiz singled to left field

[Alfonso Soriano]

He fell from the stands.

Wasn't his fault.

He had no intent to do anything.

He just wanted the ball lol

[inari]

Good news: Cole Hammels pops it up

Bad news: He's not out of the game

[illiniguy]

Why is Hamels still pitching? Is their pen that bad?

[Fred Hornkohl]
