5/24 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Dumatrait) 6:05 WGN

Good news is KRod is a free agent after this year.

What kind of crazy money will he want?

A lot, but he is probably worth it. He would be worth what 4 more wins than we have already this year?

The kind that Mark Cuban would gladly offer up.

[JimSorgi]

Lou is waving the white flag.

How?

How many of Wood's blown save have we lost?

 

4 wins is a ton.

[BigSlick]

i'm still pissed off that we clawed back to take the lead and we couldn't seal the deal, incredibly frustrating

I'd rather have Sabathia.

All but 1 I believe. He usually implodes and gives us no chance..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Michaels struck out swinging

[Garage Party]

It would be so embarrassing to give up a home run to the closer.

This x100.

[17 Seconds]

Why does Kerry keep throwing fastballs right down the middle

[Hairyducked Idiot]

According to this, we've only lost one of Wood's blown save this season. Though I'm tempting fate by typing this while the Pirates are still up

[BigSlick]

Oh cool, you couldn't have done that last inning could you?

[C.C.]

Gotta seal the deal on the close ones. Drives me insane.

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we wont be seeing Capps tommorow.

[17 Seconds]

Is Capps staying in?

You think KRod is going to get some change. Wait until CC signs.

[17 Seconds]

If that ends up being a factor then we're losing anyways.

[haubrich91]

Can we please score before we play game three?

[Garage Party]

Is Capps staying in?

I'd have to think so. He hit for himself, and to replace him with some crappy Pirate reliever would be conceding the game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's get some runs here!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Jim Edmonds will come up in this inning. Jim Edmonds will hit a home run. That home run will decide the game. If this pophecy does not come to pass, my career as a psychic begins and ends here.

 

Hopefully the Jim Edmonds experiment ends with it.

I'd happily pay him what Zambrano got.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edmonds, pinch hitting for Wood, flied out to center field
