Astros got a new pitcher in, Paronto.

Pujols Sac Fly. 3-2 now.

 

If the Badres can keep the Cards there, the good news is that their late pen is pretty good.

Looks like Dempster is done.

[killthegoat06]

Nice job today Fukudome.

 

1-0 Brewers on Hart HR.

[TMan92]

Dempster is afraid to have Marmol come in with a seven run lead.

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee singled to center field , Theriot & Fukudome scored

[BCVM22]

Yes sir.

[BCVM22]

Do we trust Marmol with a 9-run lead?

[TMan92]

Nice job today Fukudome.

 

1-0 Brewers on Hart HR.

 

I am sure they will score 10 off of Lincecum today.

[cubbyvirus00]

So do I change my sig for Fontenots good game today, or keep it the same for awhile?

Rammy's having a bad weekend :(

[Guest]

Nothing like outscoring a team for the series but losing two of three.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored 5 runs in an inning.... Sat 21 June 08 (9 runs in the 4th inn) in an 11-7 win over the white sox at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

So do I change my sig for Fontenots good game today, or keep it the same for awhile?

You should change it for his 8 homers and .370+ OBP, not just his game today.

His OPS is in the upper .800s. Probably want to change that.

[BCVM22]

$10 says Marmol walks the first guy on 4 straight.

 

EDIT: Being wrong never felt so right.
