8/6 Cubs(Hill) @ Astros(Rodriguez) 7:05 P.M. CT CSN

[C.C.]

Woo!

Nice Catch Kendall

 

That's a web-gem.

Fielder and Braun have gone deep tonight...

 

Fielder and Braun have a combined 52 HR.

 

To get to 53 HR for the Cubs you need to combine Soriano, Ramirez, Lee, and DeRosa.

 

 

The Cubs and Brewers both have 52 losses... The problem with the Brewers is that over 46% of their offense is homerun dependent.

 

How's that a problem?

 

 

It's a problem because they aren't able to score enough runs, on most days, to win when they don't hit homers. It's not a well rounded offense.

 

The way some people are talking, the Brewers should have fewer loses and more wins. They've out homered the Cubs by 64 (and two players combine for 52).

6 straight Cub K's

 

once Howry, Demspter, Eyre, or Ohman come in - Cubs lose

 

For the love of GOD, Howry has not been bad.

 

Great, now that I say that, he's in the game.

 

as i've said, he's solid, but predictable. he's also one of the two pitchers that lou uses out of the bullpen.

 

That's fine, but he's not Ohman or Eyre.

[TMan92]

What worries me here is the typical Berkman opposite field fly ball that goes into those stupid boxes.

[sherwood921]

Howry in, Cubs lose - this is how:

 

walk

walk

walk

K

K

Grandslam

 

Did howry run over your dog or sleep with your girlfriend?

 

vice versa would be even better

[Brian]

fatty is swinging for the next city

[Alfonso Soriano]

[jjgman21]

[badger1679666666]

Come on Blue. Christ.

[C.C.]

I think what you are failing to grasp is that each HR equals at least 1 run. Being "well rounded" is a non-sequiter as is the number of losses each team has. Give me a team of HR hitters any day.

[Flames24Rulz]

One more, Bobby.

[PrimeTime]

Good job Douche Bigelow..Now get El Pigato

so offense is the only vategory that decides victory?

 

if the brewers had the cubs starting pitching they'd be 15 games ahead right now.

Good job Bobby. Walk Lee please.

[Schwarber Fan]

If he gets Berkman, I say walk Lee

 

just because he's Carlos Lee and we're the Cubs

[C.C.]

Just walk him...

[jjgman21]

wandy also got that location all night.

[TruffleShuffle]

[badger1679666666]

What about pitching? They have a better offense, worse pitching (and the Cubs have a bigger advantage in pitching than the Brewers do in offense).

[PrimeTime]

Thats a crappy overnight shift.

[PrimeTime]

holy crap that scared me

[Alfonso Soriano]

OMG
