8/31 Cubs (Marshall) V. Astros (WANDY) 1:20CT WGN

[Keener98]

Look at that 'true" leadoff man going up there swinging at the first pitch and popping everything up

[TysonCBulls423]

Riot needs to run.

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Getting pwned by Wandy Rodriguez. Priceless.

[E.J.]

The offense is an absolute joke. How about making Wandy working a little bit? Nope. We go up there hacking at anything and praying the other team makes an error.

[Mizzou]

He just did it again with Traschel

 

Care to elaborate?

 

He's been trading for crap hoping it turns into gold lately.

 

EJ said it dead on with what I meant

 

this kind of garbage gets nobody anywhere. I don't particularly like the trade, but we need honest debate here. Trachsel is not crap. by definition he is average.

 

na..I'd say he is crap

And you'd be wrong.

 

When opposing teams are OPS'ing 800 against you, Im not sure there is another word for it.

Average is a great word for it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

If Burke doesn't drop that ball, Rodriguez gets through 3 innings on 32 pitches...... compared to Marshall's 64 !!!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa walked , Theriot to second

[UMFan83]

C'mon Lee

[Brian]

a 3 run home run would be nice

[illiniguy]

Dlee down 0-2. Wow, shocking.

[Keener98]

a 3 run home run would be nice

 

hahahaha

 

a what?

[Pushfrog98]

I think that anybody who swings at the first pitch against Wandy should be fined $10k.

[Brian]

a 3 run home run would be nice

 

hahahaha

 

a what?

 

it's an endangered species around these parts

[soccer10k]

More lazy flyballs. Wonderful.

[E.J.]

Great work from our #3 hitter. He's been awesome lately.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Was that D Lee hit to right fair? It looked fair on the replay.

[illiniguy]

I don't care what his numbers say, Lee has been terrible lately. How bout getting a big hit once in a while.

[UMFan83]

[3Dog]

The Nixon Administation?

[Brian]

When is the last time we hit a 3 run homer?

 

I honestly can't remember, I think it's been months

[chuckywang]

no it hit the wall

 

Are we still talking about the foul here?

[Keener98]

If Im the remaining teams on the Cubs schedule, I call up a soft tossing lefty in every game to start against the Cubs. Seriously why would you start anything different?
