[TruffleShuffle]

lawl, keystone astros

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded an IF single to first base , safe at second on a throwing error, E3, Kendall to third

[Schwarber Fan]

Trachsel GS please

[E.J.]

This would be a great time for a Trach-bomb.

[Drew Doughty]

trachsel grand slam sounds good. get to it steve.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot walked (intentionally)

[TruffleShuffle]

it would be the greatest thing ever if we pinch hit for trachsel here

[CubFanPhilly]

PH for Trachs (please).

[Little Slide Rooter]

Pinch hit for Trashel! Again, Im just saying.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 61-56 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 13-15 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[E.J.]

Why is he trying to bunt? Idiot.

[Mizzou]

Don't swing at anything, Trach.

[Careless]

what an unbelievably stupid bunt attempt

[TruffleShuffle]

Pinch hit for Trashel! Again, Im just saying.

 

it'd be awesome... increase our chance of scoring runs, and decrease our chance of up a lot of them

[Fred Hornkohl]

Trachsel struck out swinging

[Careless]

PH for Trachs (please).

would it be pinch hitting? I mean, would he have to come out?

[CubFanPhilly]

Let's see Sori match A Rod here!

[E.J.]

Ugh. Feel like we should have gotten more there.

[Mizzou]

Ugh. Feel like we should have gotten more there.

I'll take it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs score 4 and manage to leave us with an empty feeling... lawl

 

any update on lee - is he playing tomorrow?

[Fred Hornkohl]

i have no idea if it's true, but it sure seems like soriano lots of bombs with the bases empty and makes lots of outs with men on base
