[Guest]

Gabe Gross, pinch hitting for Bill Hall, flares out to Mark DeRosa in shallow right-center field on the 12th pitch of the at bat. Three outs.

 

Cubs lead it 5-3 in the middle of the 8th inning.

Finally.

It sure would be nice if Howry had another pitch besides a straight 94 mph fastball

 

I've been thinking that for the past two years. He's much like the closer version of Latroy.

[Smack]

YES!

[TruffleShuffle]

about time, i'm already going to be 15 minutes late for work. go cobs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hall out, Gross to RF, Hart to CF

How great is baseball? What an amazing at-bat in a huge game.

Sheets will pitch tomorrow? Has he even had a warm up start in the minors or anything?

About 30 insurance runs this inning would be like, really kewl.

 

DO IT, COBS!!!!!!!

Nope, which means he'll throw a 75 pitch perfect game.

I'd go ahead and pinch-hit Monroe here against Shouse. It's the bottom of the 8th now with a 2 run lead-no need to worry about burning Fontenot, just try to tack on as much as possible.

This game is going to end my relationship. My girlfriend probably thinks I'm psycho after all the yelling I've done.

Expect much much longer the next couple of weeks ;-).

You guys have gotta feel bad about the Rich Hill bashing, 7 innings later, 9 Ks, and a hit, regardless of the bloop hit and missed bunt.

For Milwaukee, Corey Hart moves from RF to CF. Gross remains in the game at RF.

 

Mike Fontenot announced to pinch hit for Bob Howry.

 

For Milwaukee, LHP Brian Shouse in to replace RHP Seth McLung.

Nope and his finger isnt healthy yet. They are desperate

Make it a 50 pitch PG and I'd believe ya.

Seeing as I'm a newbie here, I have to ask, where did this "Cobs" thing come from?

[E.J.]

Monroe will do something good here. I feel it.

I know. I was just merely pointing out a fact.
