A's - .865

Royals - .854

Indians - .834

Twins - .795

Tigers - .789

Figures.

I noticed the same thing.

I did too, I cheated when compiling the list. The Cardinals have only played 59 games vs. Lee :)

I wouldn't mind if we didn't get kouske to put Fonzie in right and Carlos Lee in left..Carlos Lee is a beast and would kill playing at Wrigley all the time

[17 Seconds]

Terrible AB from Ward.

[UMFan83]

OMG this is the exact same thing we did against Moehler last time I believe...a ton of swings early in the count.

[killthegoat06]

GOOD START

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, with all the swinging at the first pitches, Moehler might throw a complete game.

Doesn't this just feel like a night where the offense is going to struggle? I hope I'm wrong.

Wind blowing in or out tonight?

There's a 2+ hour rain delay in our future.

Erstad struck out swinging

[Careless]

I'm watching on WCIU and not having any problems with the audio.

 

Bleh. Looks like it's only a problem on the HD feed.

I'm watching it on SD and getting the audio problem

[WTFCUBS]

Bat to the chest and you have to give it back?
