[WTFCUBS]

Thanks for the pbp Fred.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Doumit to Maholm: just throw the damn ball down the middle, and the rest will take care of itself.

[haubrich91]

My god Lee.

[Andy]

Chasing history!

[Outshined_One]

This is comical.

[Little Slide Rooter]

shocking.

[genbar]

Dear god.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-7 when they score in the first inning.... 40-38 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have GIDP'd 15 times in their last 18 games.... their opponents have GIDP'd 4 times

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[OleMissCub]

The record is what, 35 or 36, by Jim Rice?

 

D.Lee has 22 now....so perhaps.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Exactly when does Lee start hitting 6th in the order? I have had enough of him in the 3 hole.

[BigSlick]

DLee HAS to ground into a DP on a 3-1 count?

 

He HAS to?

[Outshined_One]

A Ryne Sandberg commercial? You know what that means!

 

The minor leagues are supposed to be about the young kids. Helping the kids become major leaguers. He's only out for himself, just like he always was. All he ever cared about was winning - winning - winning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Doumit doubled to down the left field line

[BigSlick]

CUBS have GIDP'd 15 times in their last 18 games.... their opponents have GIDP'd 4 times

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Somewhat misleading. Teams that get runners on base will hit into more DPs, but they also will score more runs.

 

The reason teams aren't GIDPs against us isn't because we aren't inducing ground balls, its because they rarely have had runners on

[Fred Hornkohl]

An LaRoche walked

[erik316wttn]

2 on, no out.

 

Come on, Lilly.

[BigSlick]

Ugh I hate baseball

 

if we get swept by the Pirates I will be irate

[rocket]

i think the cubs might get swept by the pirates.

With 138 hits & 58 walks over the last 18 games..... the opponents have had plenty of opportunity to double up..... but they've only done it 4 times.

It would be so very Cub-like.

Pearce struck out swinging
