7/21 Cubs (Harden) @ D-Backs (Unit) 8:40 CT CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-6 when they execute a sac bunt.... 30-33 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[woodchip2153]

Is this gun slow? I thought Johnson was working in the low 90s this year, and Harden hasn't broken the 90's that much yet...

 

gameday has Harden around 90 on most of his fastballs.

[Derwood]

well look which team is hitting 390 foot pop outs again

Extras in St. Louis. Perfect outcome.

[Little Slide Rooter]

God Im sick of making aged pitchers look like their former selves. Maybe Ramon Martinez wants a go. Does Jose Rijo want to try another comeback? Is Teddy Higuera still alive?

[Andy]

Extras in St. Louis. Perfect outcome.

Indeed. Let's see 16.

[VanceJergins]

Hopefully they grit their way into another 10+ innings.

[17 Seconds]

I'm beginning to think the early season patience was just a fluke.

[woodchip2153]

Did Theriot really just almost hit that last one out to straight away center?

Who are those people?

Well, in their defense, they have gotten a lot of really fat pitches to hit, they are just hitting them right at people. But yes, their lack of patience is disappointing lately.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Snyder struck out swinging , 2-3

[TysonCBulls423]

5 teams in the organization in 1st place. That's great.

 

lol at Synder trying to hit Harden.

[Derwood]

worse ballpark gimmick: D-List celebrities singing "Take Me Out" at Wrigley, or the 8 year old PA Announcer at Chase Field?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Romero popped out to third base

[killthegoat06]

all rich harden has to do is homer and he'll get the win. :D

crap, now Im old.

[killthegoat06]

4-3 brewers off a bill hall homer

[David]

wtf is with Harden's velocity?

 

This gun has got to be slow.

[killthegoat06]

We better not lose this game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Randy Johnson looks like Big Bird mated with a velosa raptor.

Dear Rich,

 

Please don't go 3-2 on 45 year old pitchers. Thank you,

Wow, me too. I remember when Rijo used to own us and the days of Paul Assenmacher.
