            Pittsburgh            CUBS
P/PA              3.33            4.12

[Magnetic Curses]

the beginning of the end was when ron was talking about how intimidating the cubs hitters are.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-13 when they trail at the end of 6 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sanchez grounded out to second, 4-3

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I shouldn't keep harping on this, but Zambrano with virtually an identical start to Gallagher's first start, which was almost universally praised as good.

[BigSlick]

There is literally nothing I hate in baseball more than giving up the lead and then quietly going away.

 

I was hoping we'd do better, but I'm not so sure its in the cards.

[Fred Hornkohl]

McLouth grounded an IF single to first base

[Flames24Rulz]

Beautiful job, Wuertz.

[Careless]

Pay attention, Wuertz

[UMFan83]

Pitchers not covering first in time...what is this, 2005?

[VanceJergins]

What similarities are there besides earned runs?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bay flied out to center field , McLouth holding first

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I shouldn't keep harping on this, but Zambrano with virtually an identical start to Gallagher's first start, which was almost universally praised as good.

 

What similarities are there besides earned runs?

 

Four innings, one run before falling apart in the fifth and leaving with the bases loaded. End result, 4 innings vs. 4.1 innings, 4 ER vs. 4 ER, 1 UER.

 

Seems pretty similar to me.

Well theres a difference between your All Star $15 million ace against the 5th place Pirates and a rookie making his first major league start against the best team record wise in the NL.

[Careless]

about 25 pitches for Wuertz. nice day.

[genbar]

Sans that mindfart, not too bad, Wirtz.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Eyre in to pitch for the CUBS

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LOOGY time.

There are some similarites in the end results, but its quite a stretch to say Gallagher's outing was as bad as Zambrano's today.

[Schwarber Fan]

I swear, Ted Lilly must copy Adam LaRoche's stance EXACTLY... I wish I had side by side pictures

Guilty. Just pointing out that sometimes fans tend to adjust a bit too much for expectations. All results count the same.

 

Soto with another passed ball...

[Fred Hornkohl]

McLouth to second on a passed ball

[Flames24Rulz]

Soto's pulling a Barrett today.

[Schwarber Fan]

Shortage of 7th inning stretch guests I see... going through the Bears roster now?

 

ugh Geo
