8/3 Mets (Hernandez) @ Cubs (Big Z) 1:20 CT, WGN

[brinoch]

Cubs bat 4 more times....I'd hardly call the game "over."

 

have you seen any reason to believe different with their previous AB's this game?

 

It's not all about the Cubs approach. Hernandez is pitching well...give him credit. He won't pitch a CG though, and there's a good possibility he'll tire soon and wil be more hittable.

 

of course its always the other pitcher, and not the Cubs approach. It amazes me how many "tip your cap" games the Cubs supposedly have

 

It helps when you swing at the first pitch and make an out.

[illiniguy]

now would be a nice time for Dlee to jack one. you know show why you get 14 mil per season.

like that.

 

Happy?

very. even more so if ramirez can follow suit.

[inari]

Thank you Derrek.

[kujay]

Hell yeah!

 

BTW, Vedder is in radio booth. He is the worst. interview. ever.

:D :D DLee says hello..

[jaydee]

Looks like a CG game here. We aren't even coming close to this guy.

 

yup

[brinoch]

Hey Lee homered. Cool!

[C.C.]

Ram just missed that pitch!

[TysonCBulls423]

Game over.

 

Right....

Shouldn't be amazing. Look at our offense?

 

thats why I said "supposedly" have..

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-4 when Derrek Lee hits a home run.... 50-46 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That HR went 372 happy feet.

What don't you like about the approach today? Cubs hitters have actually been quite patient today...I think it's at or above 4 pitches/plate appearance.

 

El Duque's ERA is in the 2's...we're not talking about a slouch of a pitcher.

 

The Cubs offense has been very good of late. The've been averaging over 5 runs a game over the last week or so...

[UMFan83]

Where is the damn power. Seriously, I'm getting sick of the Cubs not having an answer for this. Don't we have hitting coaches. I know it would not be in their best interest to work on them hitting HRs, but this is getting pathetic. We have 3 hitters in their prime that have 40 HR power.

 

Well there is a start! HR #88 on the year for the Cubs, which moves us to 22nd in baseball and 12th in the NL

The Cubs try pulling everything everyday. There are a couple guys on this team(Theriot, Aram) who will go the other way but everybody else goes up trying to pull everything. Usually when you are trying to pull everything, you will either K or hit little weak ass grounders or pop ups, which is exactly what this offense is doing(minus Lees HR)

[witty alias]

That HR went 372 happy feet.

 

372 game-tying feet.
