CUBS are 25-3 when they outhit the opponents.... 0-11 when they get outhit.... and 1-3 when the hits are even

Almost as odd as the stat where when we hit a batter, we have a better win %

[UMFan83]

Aaron Miles with a 2 run single. They have tied up the Rays 4-4 in the 8th. Pujols up now with Miles on 1st and 1 out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto flied out to shallow left field

Miles? Figures.

[Soul]

I'm not comfortable going to the 9th with only a one run lead.

[TruffleShuffle]

pirates announcer: "how many was it that kerry wood struck out in that game? 19?"

 

:roll:

[Little Slide Rooter]

Its all in the hands of Kid K now. God speed old friend.

[E.J.]

That was a lousy half-inning. Come on Kerry. Be good today.

[BCVM22]

Seatbelts to maximum buckleage!

[Soul]

Ugh. What's Kerry's save % with one-run leads?

[CubsGM]

yeah the comeback was of course a result of brendan ryan, cesar izturis and aaron miles. that entire team can go jump in front of a cement mixer.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wood in to pitch for the CUBS

[BigSlick]

Those last two innings with the Cubs at bat have been embarrassing. So much opportunity to reach base and add to the lead and they just want to go home. That pisses me off.

 

We better not lose because of that.

[UMFan83]

Ugh. What's Kerry's save % with one-run leads?

 

2 saves, 4 opportunities.

 

Successes:

Houston

Pittsburgh

 

Failures:

Pittsburgh (won)

Colorado (won)

 

So the Cubs are 4-0 when he comes in to save 1 run game.
