Wow, where the hell did that come from? Don't relax here.

[treebird]

this is a bad move whether or not it works out

[SouthSideRyan]

Your bullpen is either short 2 of your 3 best relievers, or those same 2 relievers are probably tired from their work the last 2 days. You can't dick around like this allowing them the possibility of a couple runs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

this is like watching 5 innings of a Ryan Dempster save.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm still gonna rant about this Lou.

[PrimeTime]

You still suck Trachsel

[SouthSideRyan]

Thanks for surviving Steve.

[Guest]

Meh, shoulda pulled him. Got lucky.

[E.J.]

The Astros suck.

 

For the love of God, score more runs please offense.

That's gotta be the worst 5 inning, 2 ER performance I've ever seen.

2.00 WHIP

3.60 ERA

[Rob]

Depending on what happens this inning, I can see Lou leaving in Trachsel to bunt, and then to head back to the mound to start the 6th.

[kylescubs23]

Thank you sucky 'Stros O. Please get some more runs so we don't have to use Marmol or Howry tonight.

[Guest]

I'm still gonna rant about this Lou.

 

As you should.

[SouthSideRyan]

Jones-Theriot-for the love of God be a PH

[Yestheydo]

Wow, you guys are a buncha nervous nellies. It's almost like you expect bad things to happen, where the hell does that come from?

[TruffleShuffle]

That's gotta be the worst 5 inning, 2 ER performance I've ever seen.

 

lol, it's true too... WHIP of 2, with 2 homers allowed and almost half his pitches were balls. And this is a good start for him too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones singled to left field

[SouthSideRyan]

Depending on what happens this inning, I can see Lou leaving in Trachsel to bunt, and then to head back to the mound to start the 6th.

 

You shut your damn mouth.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 61-44 when they get at least 8 hits..... 13-27 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[SouthSideRyan]

Trachsel kinda looked like John Tutturro there. He also looked like he was gonna cry.

[SouthSideRyan]

Biggio is really slow.
