6/27 CUBS (Demp) @ White Sox (Contreras) - 3:05 CSN/WGN

Damnnnnnnn Ronny's flashing the leather.

[Mizzou]

Damn Ronny!

[Mizzou]

I've had the game on in the background for the most part... how many runs did Eric Patterson wind up costing us today?

 

one, if you want to blame that first inning run on him. personally it looked more like heads-up baserunning than sleepy outfielding, so let's split the difference and blame him for 0.5 of a run. so it should be white sox 7.5, cubs 0.

One? What?

 

There was that, the AJ basehit that he overran, the bad throw to home where he would have had Quentin if he made a good throw... that's three right there. And probably more.

[UMFan83]

We were bound for a swoon, anyway.

 

Our best starter is on the DL, our second best starter is in extended spring training, our leftfielder is on the dl... these things happen. Just wait till we get healthy again and hopefully get a No. 2 starter in a trade.

 

This.

 

I agree. And for all the bitching we do about the Cardinals, after their best hitter, best starter, second best pitcher, former closer, SS, and C all missed time, they only played .500 ball too.

True, we just need the crew to cool off.

Dempster would not have retired him regardless, given that he would've scored on one of the following hits or definitely on the GS.

[UK1679666180]

Cubs need a long inning with some time delays.

[go_cubs_go]

it's not Dempsters fault

 

the Sox are probably stealing signs. :beee:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

At least we're not going to be shut out.

[BigSlick]

I have more confidence, perhaps wrongly, in Gallagher than both Marquis and Lilly

 

and much more confidence in Marshall than Marquis

 

Marquis is 3-0 with a 2.26 ERA vs. the Giants, and he faces them Tuesday, if that makes you feel any better.

It doesn't, I don't care for stupid small sample size things like that

[splintersag]

Sotobomb. 7 run game now.

[CubsGM]

GEOVANY SOTO

[Roast]

On the way back...

[splintersag]

Fontenot!

[Roast]

haha, this is like deja vu of that 9 run inning.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

At least we won't only score one run.

[CubsGM]

Fontenot

[imb]

that was a real pretty swing by Soto, getting him back on track would help. And the little guy adds another, gotta keep hitting the ball hard.

[Careless]

sneaky power

[Butterscup1679666578]

maybe we can go back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back

AJ hit that he overran scored on a home run, and it patterson has a below-average arm, so he's probably not throwing out quentin there anyway. you're being irrational, but that's par for the course in a game thread.

[UK1679666180]

This is where Lou's poor decision to keep Dempster in there is prob. costing them.

[illiniguy]

Man I really wish Lee would have done anything his last at bat.

[Butterscup1679666578]

if we can get like....6 or 7 here ill feel like we might have a chance

[illiniguy]

maybe we can go back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back

7 maybe, 8 come on.
