08/09 CUBS (Lilly) @ Colorado (Jimenez) 8:05pm, WGN TV

[TruffleShuffle]

what sort of bizarro world is this denver place, where jock jones can hit?

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee struck out swinging , Jones took second on a wild pitch

[vj9999]

Can we put Lee on waivers? ;) j/k

[E.J.]

DLee is in terrible need of a day off.

[CubColtPacer]

Jones singled to center field

 

That was perhaps the best at-bat I've ever seen Jacque against a left-handed pitcher. 10 pitches, fouled off a couple tough pitches, and then stayed on a pitch and had a nice single up the middle. He continues to see the ball really well lately.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded out to third, 5-3 , Jones holding second

Hah we cannot get away with that right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

back to your regularly scheduled offense :wink:

[CubColtPacer]

No, but maybe we can do it on something like Tuesday. Aramis should be back, and Ward should be back to be able to fill in at first. That would give Lee 2 straight days off (with the off day on Monday) and could really re-charge him.

[Prior4CyYoung]

why are we using our good relievers in a 10-2 game? This seems like the perfect time to get guys like Scott Eyre and Sean Gallagher some work.

[Rusch33]

We're going to win tonight.

 

I'm about certain.

 

Feels good to be right.

Sounds like a plan. He definitely needs one. He looks like he has nothing right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored 10 runs in a game....... 18 July vs. S.F. (12-1)

 

Last time the CUBS got 16 hits in a game....... 19 July vs. S.F. (Lilly pitched that day too)

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Yeah we really have to wait though.

Gil struck out swinging

Baker flied out to right field

Gallagher threw 23 pitches last night and Eyre threw 15. Marmol hasn't pitched since Monday, so they probably wanted him to get some work in.

Plus, a 10-2 game in Coors is like a 5-1 game anywhere else, and the Cubs are really desperate to break this streak.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 54-2 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!
