[splintersag]

Yeah, no. ](*,)

[BigSlick]

Gosh darnit, 7 game win streak was nice.

 

Why can't we have nice things?

 

Oh and great the Cardinals are losing so we can't possibly gain any ground today, good job everyone

[CubsGM]

The Brewers continue to creep up.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-4 when the opponent triples.... 28-17 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sosa21MVP]

Zambrano is a sham #1 starter.

[TruffleShuffle]

there must be something wrong with zambrano, and the offense can't score any more. we're screwed.

[mhuber92211]

why no coaching visit? Has Soto even gotten into him?

[splintersag]

Pitt has taken the lead, 5-4, vs. St. Louis.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett struck out swinging

[CubsGM]

why no coaching visit? Has Soto even gotten into him?

Soto isn't in.

They're only down 1 in the 8th. You know full well that Ryan Ludwick or Skip Schumaker or one of the other Superscrubs is going to homer for them in the 9th and make us all even more sad.

Blanco is catching.

[splintersag]

Blanco's in today.

[17 Seconds]

We've won 7 in a row and are 15 games over so it kind of seems obnoxious to complain, but a loss tonight would not be good. Considering we'll be playing on the road most of this month and people have been questioning our ability to win away from Wrigley it's not good to lose the first game of the road trip against a crappy pitcher on a crappy team with our ace on the mound.

There's a looooooooooooooooooong way to go here...I'm not worried.

[Chocolate Milk]

I think Blanco is catching

[splintersag]

Yeah, there goes the idea of giving Zambrano a shorter start today, unless he implodes in the middle of an inning. He's already up to 30 pitches. The bullpen could've used a rest today.

[TruffleShuffle]

There's a looooooooooooooooooong way to go here...I'm not worried.

 

it's also petco at night.

[weis21]

We'll get at least one back this inning

[inari]

Gee, I wonder if Z's arm is tired from throwing 9,000 pitches last time out.

[cheapseats]

with our ace on the mound.

 

Who threw 130 pitches in his last outing. There's a demonstrable correlation between high pitch count in game A and poor performance in game B.

 

Just sayin.

[17 Seconds]

Here come the Brewers.
