Chances Lee can drive in an insurance run here?

A slam would be nice.

[BCVM22]

Soap drop. Hope that doesn't come back to bite us.

[Sammy Sofa]

You're seeing the ball horribly if you don't at least defensively swing at that.

[CubsGM]

Jesus Christ, swing the damn bat

[PackLandVA]

He looked pretty bad at the plate today.

[David]

Is it me or is Lee getting a massive shaft from the umps lately with ball/strike calls? It seems he gets pitches that aren't even borderline called as strikes constantly.

[ChiCubsFan]

As hot as he was to start the season, he's just as cold now.

[SABR Gamer]

Jason Grilli's cousin invited me to the game today but I had to tell her I couldn't go because of finals, screw school.

[Jon]

Lee will finish May with a sub-.700 OPS. That includes a terrible .272 OBP before that K.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 30-3 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[mlarner]

Wow, not good D Lee. With all the walks, etc. they were trying to give us some runs there and we didnt take advantage.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Careless]

apparently if you crouch low enough, a pitch down the middle 2 feet over the ground is a ball

 

And strike 1 was higher than ball 1 (or was it 2)

Edited May 31, 2008 by Careless

[PackLandVA]

Marmol has only thrown 23 pitches the past two days.

[AlwaysaCub]

Soriano was just replaced in the 9th inning for defensive purposes.

 

Our 136 million fan dollars at work.

Some people will just search for things to complain about.
