8/3 Bucs(Snell) @ Cubs(Z!) - 1:20 WGN TV

[tenritsu]

We better pound some runs out of Snell. The guy hasn't had a decent game sine June... and that's only one game out of the other bajillion he's lost for the pirates.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Base hit by DeRo

[kujay]

Nice rip by Derosa.

 

Let's go Jimmy!

[Careless]

a lot of liners so far

[inari]

This lineup has no holes. Just saying.

[Magnetic Curses]

I'd like to see some numbers on how we've done against pitchers with below 100 ERA+ vs. the rest of the league. I wouldn't be suprised to find we're doing significantly worse, and significantly better than the league against above 100 ERA+ pitchers.

But no CSN hd yet

 

edit: or you could be out of the chicago area, so it wouldn't affect you

 

For some reason, chicago's Uverse gets 2 WGN HD channels

I asked earlier and no one answered. Is there ANY explanation as to why Snell has fallen off a cliff?

yeah when your #8 hitter has 17 homers and an .841 OPS, you have a well-rounded lineup. sure beats the days of auto-outs like neifi and (insert 2007 cubs catcher here)

I've heard it won't be for awhile. Whether that's true or just a rumor is another story I guess. DirecTV has done a good job, but they've dropped the ball on WGN HD.

[Careless]

horrible defense in right.

[BCVM22]

Geovany Soto.

[CubsNSkers07]

That a boy GEO! Zambrano help your self to the tune of a 3 run homer!

[Careless]

Soto really has a unique, strange running style

control/command. 62 BB in 110 innings this year, compared to 68 in 210 innings last year. he was also lucky on BABIP last year, though he should certainly be better than he has been this year.

Z gets really overanxious. He shall, however, permit the bat to live.

 

This time.

[inari]

I'll take the tie.

[Soul]

I'll take the tie.

 

Yep, now let's start with a clean slate and have the real Zambrano make an appearance.
