It's sad that I'm not chalking this one up as a win yet.

 

you're right.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Any bets that they do that thing they do where they have a huge inning on the road and then Howry comes in and it all goes pear-shaped?

 

No.

[javy knows my name]

Call me pessimistic, but I'm sick of blowing teams out and then not being able to score against scrubs the next game.

I find myself asking the Cubs not to waste all their offense in blowout games. Totally irrational, but so is Cubs fandom.

The Soto love reaches an all time high! :P

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Just like the Houston series, the offense hides for two games and then breaks out in a big way in the season finale.

 

We have an offense that can be awesome. They just need to gain a little more consistency.

I think we all are, but blowing out teams is encouraging nonetheless. It's not like this is a precursor to their suckage in the upcoming games, it can only be a positive sign.

Marmol needs to be out there, no reason not to bring him in now for the next 2 innings.

[chuckywang]

Yes, girl in blue shirt. I see you. I see you.

[bukie]

Why am I not comfortable now? Oh yeah, I remember the last time the Cubs had a 7 run lead in the 8th with Howry and Marmol coming up.

 

C'mon Howry, do something well tonight.

[CubsBears29]

Pirates beat the Astros tonight.... did Pitt just going into MMP and sweep Houston??

[weis21]

Oh no...........

 

It's step one gracie!!!!

[17 Seconds]

Basehits on 0-2 pitches are fun.

[tenritsu]

[BCVM22]

Throw strikes, you clod.

[bcl412]

I bet he throws a fast ball

Remember the last time we had a 7 run lead in the 8th inning?

Weren't you wondering about why so many people were freaking out earlier?

My wife had never seen a baseball game until 4 years ago(on tv), but she can name most of the managers and a fair number of GMs in the NL, knows all the common acronyms and some of the less common (EQA, etc) ones, and knows why, say, I hate the Padres so much.

 

They can be educated.

[weis21]

Howry hates missing bats

[haubrich91]

That at-bat was annoying.
