8/2 the Bucs (Maholm) @ CUBS (Lilly) 12:05 - CSN

[SouthSideRyan]

Nice battle by Ted today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

It's always nice to wake up and see the Cubs winning.

 

.... and just why were you sleeping when the game is on ?? hmmmmm ??

 

I sorta, kinda forgot what time the game was on. :grin:

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... you're new bride kept you up all night..... I've heard it all before. :wink:

 

I wish that was the case. I was in Davis with a few friends for a going away party.

 

The honeymoon is over !! [/sigh]

Gaudin in to pitch for the CUBS

[Outshined_One]

Lilly's ERA will end the day at 4.36 if that runner doesn't score. If he can get it below 4 by the end of the year, I'd be impressed.

 

He hasn't been pretty, but he's gotten the job done.

Bautista, pinch hitting for Maholm, struck out swinging

[Outshined_One]

This is...an interesting choice for the Stretch.

Getting Harden AND Gaudin kicks ass

[CubInOK]

Just wondering, when was the last time that Marmol guy pitched?

Out of curiosity, why is Kosuke in a virtual platoon? Do think Lou is only giving him starts vs. RHP in order to get his bat going again, or is this something that he's going to be doing the rest of the year? $12 million for a platoon player seems stupid.

tom morello is so rad

.739 OPS vs lhp. if the cubs can get better production against lefties with him on the bench, it would be stupid to keep him in the lineup just because of how much he gets paid, come on dude.

Anyone else think that Morello's voice sounds like Obama?
