7/11 - San Fran Giants(Cain) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20, CSN TV

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How many times have I seen the Cubs waste a leadoff double?

 

 

Hate how his was managed after the leadoff double. Should have bunted w/ Dero. Now we wasted multiple guys and Marquis is forced out.

 

Both of those things would likely happen even if DeRosa bunted.

a sac bunt doesn't change the outcome of that inning at all.

 

It does if you squeeze...

[gerby23]

Oooh Howry's in, here come some runs for sure

[UMFan83]

Cain has given up 1 ER in his last 22 IP against the Cubs dating back to last year.

When is the Cubs last scoreless game into extra innings? I remember Sosa beating the Astros, on a single, in a game that went scoreless through at least 9.

Would have changed Johnson's ab. He might have even squeezed. You have no idea how things would have been different if Cedeno was on third.

[PrimeTime]

Maybe this one will give us luck.

only if you squeeze successfully. Knowing the Cubs propensity for making outs on the basepaths, there's no sure thing.

Better chance of them getting down 2 bunts than getting 1 hit off Cain with those guys up.

Damn, that's nice.

[Ski]

Maybe if we post some "real" boobies... :shock:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Note to self: Boobies are officially not good luck.

 

Depends on what you consider getting lucky. 8-[

luckily we are done with him

[JonnyRed]

Nice job Howry....now let's go get some runs!

[haubrich91]

Nice job. WTF was Geo doing that entire AB?

[bcl412]

If the Cubs didn't make Cain work as much as they did in a couple of innings we could be looking at one of the shortest games ever.

[weis21]

Imagine if the Cubs weren't cheaters at home? :shock:

 

I bet Cain would have thrown a perfect game!

[Ski]

Nice job Howry....now let's go get some runs!

This is what we have been saying for the last 7 innings.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just dont let them score. Even though Im not watching the game, I cant bear the thought of Brian Wilson doing his stupid little pose again. Id rather Valverde do his happy dance than that clown.

[haubrich91]

Great start, Riot!

[bcl412]

Please don't steal Lou.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That's a nice start!

 

Geaux Cubs!

[Ski]

Please don't steal Lou.

Not even on a passed ball. It's too risky.

[weis21]

Riot!

[apete6]

We may very well see 3 shutouts in this series with Harden tomorrow and Lincecum/Dempster with full bullpens on Sunday due to the all star game.
