[Guest]

[Omar]

Hey Lou... BRING IN SOTO.

[bukie]

Ok, 2 in scoring position for Blanco...

[cubbyvirus00]

plz just get the ball to the outfield somehow

[SABR Gamer]

Infield single, run scores.

 

Reds 5

Cubs 2

[David]

Best we could've hoped for there.

[David]

LOL I think Wittenmeyer (sp?) referred to Ward as the best "pure" hitter on the Cubs.

[Outshined_One]

Dick Pole is smokin'.

[XZero771679666304]

Yeah, Reed Johnson sure does suck. :eyeroll:

 

I feel really conflicted about Johnson. I know he can be very good, and want him to do well, but hate that every hit buries Felix a little more.

 

If it were me, I'd try Johnson in LF, Pie in CF and DeRo back at 2B until Sori comes back.

This inning is the reason Volquez is having Tommy John Surgery in 2 years.

[David]

Ya, we just keep a bat better than DLee on the bench because he can't field anywhere.

DICK POLE SIGHTING

[bukie]

LOL I think Wittenmeyer (sp?) referred to Ward as the best "pure" hitter on the Cubs.

 

Maybe he means Ward can't do anything else. He's 100% hitter. You'll get no running, fielding or throwing out of him.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I don't understand batting Ward here -- pinch hitting a lefty for a lefty?

Volquez got pinch hit for, he was done after 5.

[UMFan83]

I had no idea Ward was hitless this season so far. Cmon DWard.

[cubbyvirus00]

for some reason i REALLY hate david weathers

[Outshined_One]

Oof. Needed that to be a little bit more toward the gap.

 

PULL FONTENOT FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Huh? Volquez isn't in there right now.

[Outshined_One]

Huh? Volquez isn't in there right now.

 

Their bullpen isn't exactly the most reliable thing in the world right now.

2004. 5 shutout innings against the Cubs.

[cubbyvirus00]

Here's an idea, put Cedeno in?

[XZero771679666304]

Maybe it's because he looks like an ogre.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well crap, we needed more there.
