5/2 Cubs (Hill) @ Cardinals (Wainwright) 7:15 PM CDT WGN/720

[David]

So I missed it....why is Ramirez out of the game?

 

Hit by a pitch on the hand. Didn't look very good, but nobody really knows anything yet.

 

 

Ouch.

 

Also, skimming through here it seems like Soriano has had a particularly bad game. I read about the missed flyballs, what else has he done bad?

Fixed

[OleMissCub]

Hah, that's marvelous.

[E.J.]

Haha. Gotta love Johnson doing anything he can to get on base.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Reed Johnson swings his arm into a pitch, very lucky to be given first.

[weatherdood]

Way to get on base, Reed.

 

This smells of Soriano coming up with the tying runs on base, no outs... and a GIDP

[17 Seconds]

Soriano triple play to end it?

[CubsGM]

HAWKS WIN!

Game 7!

[bukie]

This game is starting to look eerily similar to yesterday.

[Little Slide Rooter]

no need to watch the rest of this:

 

Johnson-hit by pitch

Ward-single, Johnson to 2nd

Soriano hits into a triple play.

[minnesotacubsfan]

shut up Bob

[AFCubsFan]

I'm sorry. I've been AWOL from the thread since the amazing Soriano 2 error inning. I'm back to being positive thoughh. Tying run at the plate. GO CUBS!!!

[illiniguy]

Go Hawks.

[OleMissCub]

Well, this all but assures that Fonz has a chance to NOT tie it up.

[weatherdood]

DP no longer in order. That helps.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

DP no longer in order. That helps.

 

When the DP is taken out of order, defensive indifference is a stupid scoring rule.

[Soul]

Are we back to fake rallies now ala '07?

[jaydee]

This team was playing really well, when they knew Soriano would be gone for awhile, but when they realize he was close to coming back, they decide the 2007 Cubs would return, and this team would return to medocrity.

 

If Soriano going to play, can we atleast make him hit 8th, where his "skills" are perfectly suited for?

 

Yah, 35 HR is perfect for the 8 spot.

 

I'll take the under on that.

 

Either way, he has a ton of a power and is not best suited for the 8 spot.

[weatherdood]

Nice looking swing Ward

[NYF]

i wasn't aware that cumulative performance was only available for daily criticism. my bad...

 

I'm sure you had no idea that what is being said in the game thread is generally taken in context of the current game.

 

 

obviously, you have no idea that the "game thread" is a forum dedicated to the thoughts of insightful fans during a game...

 

play more, my flaming, baiting friend?

[E.J.]

Ward just broke his leg on that swing.

[chuckywang]

I demand Rally Boobs!

[AFCubsFan]

Bright side-outstanding effort from the BP tonight. Now let's get some runs (please)!!!!!

[Soul]

Ward just broke his leg on that swing.

 

That's alot of weight to be twisting on an ankle.

 

And he K's. Blah.

[CubsGM]

Lawlz Ward pulled a Soriano

[weatherdood]

2 outs now... oh wait, just one...almost 2
