Runs than Marmol time and I'll be happy.

[mul21]

I don't understand putting the go ahead run on first. :-k

 

Oh well, c'mon Chad, get Hart!

 

Pretty simple...walking the lefty to get to the righty for the better matchup. Seems pretty sound to me with a guy like Fielder at the plate. And it worked. Good work by Gaudin.

[bukie]

In the name of instant history, I'm liking Gaudin and Samardzija right now.

[SouthSideRyan]

Howry's going to get DFAed when Wood returns. I'm almost positive.

 

Only problem is, Wood doesn't sound like he's anything near close to returning.

 

 

And I mean, who misses a month with a blister? Honestly? Kerry Wood I guess.

 

And I was roundly mocked in the Kerry Wood thread when I said "And so it begins."

 

Guess I'm not so stupid after all, am I boys?

 

You were pretending like he was going to have TJS in a few weeks.

 

I think he still thinks it.

 

No, I don't think he'll have TJS. But I did say it was probably going to be worse than "a week" or "two or three days" like everyone was saying, simply because he's Kerry Wood. And people thought I was stupid.

 

Guess I was right.

 

Are we keeping score now? I can probably find 10 losses in this game thread alone. It's easy to be right once or twice when you predict the worst on everything.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

That was some ownage!! Chad is a stud out there.

 

Fukudome

Soriano

Johnson

 

Lets win this thing right here!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

The run(s) have to come NOW!

[BigSlick]

get a run get three outs

 

it shouldn't be that hard

[erik316wttn]

I love me some Go-Dan!

 

Someone should photoshop his head on Rodan's body, and then post it in the game threads every time he pitches.

 

Rodan, Shark.... we're getting quite the interesting bullpen.

[Guest]

Nice job, Gaudin!

 

Let's get some runs!!

[Vinestal]

Burning Chad on 2 hitters is a mistake.

Hasn't he pitched sat and sun though?

 

Brewers announcer made it sound like they were taking Gaudin out for Cotts. I thought the way he was pitching they should leave him in, luckily he did. Lou is probably over using him but what can you do, he only has so many good options.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-6 when they're tied at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[bukie]

Seems like it's been 4 months since Fukudome hit a clutch HR in the 9th.

Alright. I call your bluff. Find them.

[Allroy]

Runs please. I beg you.

[weis21]

I didn't realize Gaudin was that good.

I was reading somewhere (Hardballtimes.com?) that even though Chad was treated as a throw-in, they felt Gaudin was worthy of a teams' top 10 prospect by himself. I agree so far.

[Butterscup1679666578]

lets rock torres' [expletive] world

[bcl412]

Opposite field double coming up.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If the Cubs keep telling themselves hes still Solomon Torres, they should be able to get a few runs here.

[WrigleyinEngland]

If wood could chop his finger off and start pitching again i'd like me some Go Dan or Shark in the rotation.....

[Fred Hornkohl]

Torres in (5th) to pitch, Kapler in (9th) in rf for Milwaukee

[erik316wttn]

Come on, Fukudome. Actually look like you belong here, please.

[bukie]

Well, Yost didn't double switch out his all-star LF, he double-switched out his all-star RF.

[inari]

Don't the Cubs usually kill Torres?
