Fred, I mentioned a while ago that it seems Aramis seems to be drawing a lot more walks lately... any stats to back that up?

 

Yeah.... it's a reasonable assertion.........

(the first 6 increments are 20 games each.... the last is 16 games)

 

He's drawn four more walks in the last 16 games than he did in any other 20 game stretch. Glad to see I wasn't imagining things!

 

Check the second increment.

 

I can usually read, I swear!

solid hanging curve there

[Schwarber Fan]

Hello, .5 game lead

 

I really wish I could block you.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ok, let's get this one back.

[inari]

Hello, .5 game lead

 

I really wish I could block you.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-37 when the opponent steals a base.... 42-29 when they don't

CUBS are 52-25 when they score first in the game.... 18-41 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[hawkeyecub]

Hello, .5 game lead

 

LOL, of course you said that.

[SouthSideRyan]

Chris Duncan 3 run double, 5-2 Dirtbirds

 

So of course Encarnacion's career ending injury manages to hurt the Cubs. :roll:

Duncan was playing against righties anyways.

 

Either way, you know more playing time for Ankiel/Donutman will hurt us.

 

Duncan's brutal against lefties in his major league time, I'm sure Ankiel will be the same. Stop believing in magic.

[BigSlick]

come on cubbies!!

[SouthSideRyan]

Hello, .5 game lead

LOL Alfonso Soriano!!

What hurt the cubs is the strike out that Morris didn't get called for him before the two out three run scoring double. Even the cards announcers mentioned it.

[C.C.]

This Trachsel kid reminds me of a young Maddux. Not a bad start.

[inari]

We'll get a run or four, but I don't think this is the inning to get it/them.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wow, we're still ahead of the record of the '03 team at this point.

[BigSlick]

Daryle Ward has been a pretty nice addition this year.

[inari]

Wow, we're still ahead of the record of the '03 team at this point.

 

Until we get to the anniversary of the Cardinals series it'll probably stay that way unless we start tanking.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't scored a 4th inning run in their last 11 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

That was a great September, Prior and Wood were fantastic.

[illiniguy]

sigh. Yeah they really were.

Really? That's surprising.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wow, we're still ahead of the record of the '03 team at this point.

 

That team would go on to win 8 of its next 9 from this point, so that would just be aces.

[inari]

Z was pretty great too if memory serves.

[BigSlick]

Nice! Lets score here now, please.

[hawkeyecub]

Nice baserunning Daryle.
