9/13 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 CST CSN WGN720

[Schwarber Fan]

It would suck if that Pence thing ends up being their only hit

[squally1313]

Good job by Tracshel to get out of it

 

Gameday has died

 

Scoreless first by Trach. Probably just shock.

If that's their only hit, I'd be estatic.

I know this is a lot to ask for, I know this.

 

But can we PLEASE win this game after spotting Steven "I'm So freakin' Old" Trachsel 4 runs in teh first?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot doubled to left field

[Schwarber Fan]

Fontenot looks good

[TruffleShuffle]

fonteYES

[kylescubs23]

Mike gets an "atta boy" from me. Good approach there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 68-56 when they hit at least 1 double.... 6-15 when they don't

CUBS have hit at least 1 double in 13 consecutive games

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Floyd popped out to shortstop

[Careless]

It would hilarious and embarrassingif that Pence thing ends up being their only hit

Good to see the Astros announcers talk about how there are always a lot of Cub fans at the game. Every game I go to, it seems at least 30% of the fans are Cub fans maybe more.

[BigSlick]

Why is Lee not playing?

that actually makes the sentence worse :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez grounded out to second, 4-3 , Fontenot to third

[TruffleShuffle]

am i the only one who doesn't consider 6 games against cincy to be a good thing? The Reds are playing well these days, and they sure torpedoed our season in 2004.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Get a clean base hit and theres a Twinkie in it for you.

We always play poorly against teams with poor pitching and good offenses because our hitters are too damn stupid to take advantage of bad pitching, and our pitchers just end up giving in to a good offense.

 

On the bright side Hamilton is done for the year.

 

Hoo-ray, Cubs pull a Cubs and strand a lead off double.

 

STOP DOING THAT.

hmm... well, more accurate in spirit, if poorly executed.

 

oops

I'm gonna quote this because I got left on the wrong page.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I hate to be nitpicky, but we have already stranded 4 baserunners with less than 2 out, 3 of which were in scoring position.
