CUBS are 25-1 when they lead after 6 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

When was that "1"?

[illiniguy]

why is Ryan still in there?

because our bp has pitched like 15 innings in the last 2 days

Would it have been illegal to make a roster move when we got home to remedy that?

I've had "fire hendry" in my sig for 3+ years, don't ask me.

 

Another question: why is no one in the bp up?

Cause we need to fire Lou as well.

Ethier grounded out to first, unassisted , Pierre to second

Milwaukee? The Gallardo start?

[98navigator]

That was a random time to stop the game.

 

*bows head

 

3pm CT was a scheduled national moment of silence; it just so happened that the Cubs were batting. I heard about it this morning while watching cable news... I bet the teams, and umpires, were told about it ahead of time.

[17 Seconds]

Was that like a 1 in a million occurrence?

 

A one hopper to the pitcher for a 1-2-3 double play? I've seen that play a thousand times. Tought break, but with a force at every base Fukudome should have been trying to get it in the air.

 

That ball was ticketed up the middle and would have been two runs if Billingsley didn't make a great play on it, imo.

 

I'm not denying that it was a tough break, but it's not like a freakish thing. It happens all the time.

[SouthSideRyan]

With his home runs taken out...Soriano has now cost the Cubs how many runs in the last 6 games?

 

Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

[UMFan83]

Regardless of how he fares today....how the hell is Demp going to make it til September?

[17 Seconds]

Why is nobody up in the pen?

May 1, against Milwaukee. Remember the blown save?

You have to be joking. He has made potential game losing mistakes over the last three games. How can a guy making that much money be given a free pass by you folks?

No, I meant Kosuke hitting into a double play with the bases loaded.

Good job Demp!

He hits a ton of groundballs, I don't know why thats so odd?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think I just crapped my pants.

[UMFan83]

Wow nice.

great outing demp. hope your arm is still around come august

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hell of a game by Dempster. I wouldnt recomend putting him out there for the 8th though. Hopefully the offense can wake up and ? and Wood can close the door.

[Outshined_One]

He screwed up a few of the words, but Fergie did a good job with the stretch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Park in to pitch for Los Angeles

Because he's only hit into 1 other DP this year.

With the bases loaded Fukudome should have been trying to hit the ball as hard as he can. He did, and Billingsley made a great play. It sucks, oh well, bad luck.

Soto grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3
