No way, Theriot made an out on the bases. That never happens.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson grounded into a FC, 6-5, Theriot out at third

Probably would have beaten the throw at 1B, too.

 

Guh.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit at least 1 double in each of their last 17 games

CUBS are 51-31 when they hit at least 1 double.... 6-7 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

This team still thinks it's all star break.

Screw this park, too

[Little Slide Rooter]

ho hum, another mediocre at best pitcher making the Cubs look like garbage.

[Mizzou]

What an all around frustrating game to watch.

[CDBears1259]

I don't remember Theriot being this stupid on the basepaths last year. Am I remembering correctly? I seem to remember people complimenting him on his baseball smarts.

[Outshined_One]

Nah, he's always had issues in the majors when it comes to SB attempts and trying to take extra bases.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Anyone know what happened to D-Lee's power? We have a singles hitter batting 3rd right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman grounded out to second, 4-3

[UMFan83]

ho hum, another mediocre at best pitcher making the Cubs look like garbage.

 

PLEASE STOP THIS HORRIBLE FALLICY

 

2008 - 2.72 ERA at home

2007 - 2.97 ERA at home

 

HES NOT BAD

[ArthurVandalay]

Yup. 315 to left, and we can't pull a pitch to the Crawford Boxes to save our lives. Awesome. Fukudome's garbage and the Cubs are back to their impatient selves. Good times.

[Fred Hornkohl]

C Lee popped out to second base

I guess I just don't remember them being so glaring.

[UMFan83]

This game reminds me of the 3 game series we had in Houston last year when we lost 2-1 in the 10th inning of game 1, lost 5-2 in game 2 and lose 8-2 in the last game to get swept.

[illiniguy]

Len pitching to the fans to watch the first place cubs on the next homestand. Don't get ahead of yourself Len. The way things are going we probably won't be in first place once we get back home.

[BCVM22]

Any chance we score this inning?

Yikes, 91 pitches through 5 for Z. Any baserunners and he probably won't make it through 6.
