Not good baserunning. Thank god we're leading.

[badger1679666666]

So assuming Woody's arm is still attached, we'll probably get to see him thursday or friday on WGN right?!!!

 

I will cry. Or tear up a little bit.

In all honesty, I think my eyes would well-up if he steps on the bump in Wrigley...

[badger1679666666]

Please hold this Bobby.

 

It's 4 runs. Even when he's been off, he hasn't been THAT off. He's not Eyre.

[Keener98]

1st batter for Wood in his 2nd inning hits a tapper past Wood for the out Threw him a nasty curve/slider according to their broadcaster

 

2nd batter grounds to 3rd on 3rd pitch, soudns like his stuff is pretty good talking about his curve/slider having some nice bite to it

 

3rd batter goes to 3-2 count and Wood throws an 82 mph changeup to get batter to pop out foul

 

Woods night is done 6 batters faced 1 walk 1 K 92 was the only reading of the gun that was given but their broadcaster says hes ready Chicago!

LOL, as if we don't all have ESPN and ESPN2

During yesterday's game on ESPN, they brought it up every five minutes.

[killthegoat06]

yay cubs

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 52-2 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[bukie]

I'm rooting for the Mets? Against the Brewers? Never going to feel comfortable with that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[Omar]

but their broadcaster says hes ready Chicago!

Can you imagine the ovation he's gonna get? That makes me well up just thinking about it.

 

Woody's my favorite cub of the last 15 or so years.

Usually when the Cubs can trade outs for runs, I feel comfortable...but this is Howry and Rollins and Howard are lurking.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

One out!

[YearofDaCubs]

SO much for that Brewers scored.

[Omar]

Popout to Theriot. 1 down.

[moorecg]

Brewers tie...runners on 2nd and 3rd 1 out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dobbs popped out to shortstop

[Sammy Sofa]

"That kid looks like he's been at all 10,000 losses!"

 

Bob is the man.

Ron has been conspicuously silent during the score updates for the same reason. I have no problem rooting for the Mets tonight.

[JimSorgi]

One down!
