7/3 Cobs (Gallagher) @ Giants (Lincecum) 6:05pm CDT, CSN

[CubsBears29]

1.5 lead after tonight, and 3 in StL this weekend.

 

:bye: best record in NL and divsion lead.

3 runs due to not being able to retire the pitcher with 2 outs

We need to get two pitchers. Gallagher is in no way ready to help get us to the playoffs.

[Guest]

Yes, the game is over. The Cubs have no chance of winning this one.

 

 

Is this meant to be in green? I can't tell.

 

No. Green font was invented by Hitler and Mussolini.

 

But yes, it's sarcasm.

[17 Seconds]

How many pitches did Gallagher throw against the Sox on saturday?

 

120-odd, wasn't it?

 

Hopefully Lou will eventually realize that there is a correlation between extreme pitch counts and then pitching like crap the next day.

[Schwarber Fan]

I bet Lewis pulled an ARod coming down the line, I really think he did

to the playoffs??? come on.

who cares? it's not against the rules.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Thank god that inning is over.

 

Too bad, we may have dug a hole too big to come out of.

[Rob]

Don't our pitchers usually wait until the 4th or 5th to have this inning?

 

I don't really see much that Gallagher has done wrong.

 

Lincecum's grounder just found a hole... that happens.

 

Lewis hit what should have been a double that wouldn't score Lincecum... Edmonds badly misplayed it and turned it into a triple.

 

And then Soto dropped that one.

How many teams in the NL have good #5's?

Well then our 4 sucks ass too.

[illiniguy]

The Cardinals missed Santana in a four game series :roll:

[Little Slide Rooter]

I hope Sean Marshall understands the importance of his next start.

Given how bad the Mets are at present, I'm not sure it would have mattered.

yeah i also realize that the cards have a lot of guys who aren't likely to continue their performances, and there's also a wild card spot available in the national league. the cubs have a 91% chance of making the playoffs according to BP, which is a better chance than every team except the devil rays. take a deep breath.

Adding one starter would make Lilly or Dempster our number 4.

Right pushing Sean out. Like I said we need to add 2 to get Marquis out as well.

[TruffleShuffle]

btw that out by reed johnson was hit harder than lincecum's single last inning. baseball is weird like that.

Deep breaths not allowed in the game thread.

It was also the same thing that Rowand hit and Lee couldn't come up with.

Huh? Either of those guys in the 5 spot is fine. We don't need both of them out of the rotation, only one.

 

Zambrano

Somebody

Lilly

Dempster

Marquis/Gallagher

 

Is perfectly fine

[gflore34]

This game' over, now the question is by how much and how many K's will Lincecum rack up? I'm going by 1 run (fake rally in the ninth) and a baker' dozen for Lincecum.

[chuckywang]

Fukudome has adjusted well to Lincecum after 1 AB ... wow.
