5/28 Dodgers (Lowe) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 pm ESPN2/WGN

DaMnit.

[inari]

I don't like our chances against the Dodgers bullpen at all. At least we got Z off the hook I guess.

[E.J.]

I don't believe in "clutch", but it sure seems like DeRo is the opposite of that.

[JoshiQ]

Alright, that kind of sucks, but hey, at least we got extras!

[BCVM22]

That was our opportunity to win there. I predict we lose 2-1 in 11.

[circlecitycub]

Extras. Have we had a walkoff win this year?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I think I only have 1 extra inning in me.

[CubsGM]

What's DeRosa hitting with RISP? I know it's not good.

[Butterscup1679666578]

bad game for dero. at least we tied it up. lets win in the 10th

[BeerHere]

 

Did DeRo GIDP?

[UMFan83]

So Walk, Walk, IF single, Sac Fly.

 

What an awe inspiring inning :)

Well, we don't have to face Broxton and we got to Saito. That's a good sign, right?

I can't really fault a guy for an AB like that. He didn't swing at any bad pitches and didn't get himself out. Good job by Saito.

[17 Seconds]

I really wish Ramirez was still in this game.

[inari]

That was our opportunity to win there. I predict we lose 2-1 in 11.

 

Make it 10 and I agree.

.306 .397 .388 .785 before today.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So which bullpen dreg will we be seeing here?

I dunno, who else do they have?

[CubColtPacer]

Even when Saito is really off in his location, his pitches are still nasty. Nobody could get a good swing off of him even sitting on the fastball. I'm glad that he will very, very likely not be out for another inning.

[CubmanPi]

Extras. Have we had a walkoff win this year?

Can't recall offhand, but with the home record and number of extra-innings played, I'd imagine there was a free baseball win at home.

We haven't really gotten into the good part of our pen, either.

 

Then again, Wood and Prior hadn't lost back-to-back starts all year...

[TMan92]

Yep...Lots of Ks and nothing with runners on.

Actually I'm pretty sure there hasn't been.

 

Howry does not inspire any confidence here.
