8/4 Astros(Moehler) @ Cubs(Demp) - 6:05 WCIU/ESPN

[RedFlash]

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

 

I know what you feel, but I doubt Moehler goes 6+ last his last start against the Cubs. I suspect the Cubs will get to Moehler and this game ends something like 6-2.

Hack hack hack

Guess we haven't learned anything yet this season after facing this fool.

[otis89]

ESPN is simply pathetic. I do NOT want to see Brett Favre driving his Escalade. In fact, I don't even want to hear you mention his name.

[E.J.]

What was that? 5 pitches? Just awful.

[PrimeTime]

Jesus stop swinging at everything!!!!

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Cubs have no intention of making this guy work.

Looks like another dominant performance for Moehler

A 5 pitch inning? Way to make him work.

[bcl412]

That inning left a lot to be satisfied.

Nice pitch to get the K for Dempster.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We're averaging 8 pitches an inning. I think Ward saw six of those 16 pitches too.
