9/9 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Pirates (Morris) 12:35:CSN/WGN

let's (try and fail to) get some runs!!!

[IowaCubsFan]

I wonder if the Cubs will be able to parlay stopping the Pirates in a bases loaded, one out situation into a big offensive inning.

 

Probably not.

There's no way we score 7 runs in a game. Not possible.

[E.J.]

Geovany Soto

START HIM!

Nice swing Alf.

[IowaCubsFan]

I'm really glad Hendry waited until September to call up Soto.

[IowaCubsFan]

Is it just me, or does it seem like Soriano has an 0-2 count every single at-bat?

It's not you.

[abuck1220]

wonder what the cubs' record would be if soto were given the catcher's job right after they traded barrett.

definitely not just you... i think it happens at least 90% of the time. They should just save time and start him out at 0-2 automatically.

[IowaCubsFan]

Does anyone want to swing their bats before they get two strikes?

[abuck1220]

let's just hope that one of these turds can get on base for soto's next ab.

[inari]

I didn't think this game started till 2:30, so I just turned it on... glad I've missed our fall into second place.

probably even better if we just let Murton play RF instead of having to watch Floyd out there. Jones' hot streak helped us out for a little while, but his overall poor season makes me wish we would have just let Pie adjust to major league pitching. he'd give us good defense if nothing else, would have helped today.

Is there a misprint in the box score? Says that kendall threw out a runner.

it's actually true, and he threw out someone fast also... i was as shocked as you are

[E.J.]

Geovany Soto

[Outshined_One]

Do NOT screw with Geovany Soto!

[abuck1220]

the last twenty minutes show you why kendall shouldn't start the rest of the season.

[Mizzou]

Scott Eyre with a nice outing

[Little Slide Rooter]

every time Geovany Soto plays, Jason Kendall can feel that contract extension get farther and farther away.

it was only because he overslid the bag.
