8/5 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 CSN

[ChiCubsfan0502]

We have to lead the league in DP's. It's ridiculous. Nice job, Lee and A-Ram.

[WrigleyinEngland]

WTF? why does this team make me so ANGRY!!!

[big_shooter17]

This is the inning that decides the game. They have to hold 'em or else it is over. I have confidence with whoever Lou will use in the 8th and 9th, but this is it.

In other news: Lance Berkman is stupid:

 

(At the bottom)

After one particularly jarring explosion, Houston's Lance Berkman threw off his metal chain and then sprinted off the field, refusing to risk electrocution.

 

Really?

 

He does realize that the little bit of metal is not going to do anything, right?

 

Tell that to Geremi Gonzalez.

And theres the hit per inning for Howry. Brace yourselves folks here it comes

[tenritsu]

:banghead: Howry...

 

Remember when lou said that he was a good reliever?

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Here we go.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Howry better not be in next inning or this one's over.

 

DFA

DFA

DFA

Yea how dare Lee go 3-4 today damn him

[WrigleyinEngland]

Anyone (fred??!!) have Dlee and Arams combined stats since the ASB? right now they seem as much use to the team as Stevie Scotty Eyre

[David]

THE CUBS WILL win this game.

 

The baseless optimism by some is almost as annoying as the baseless pessimism displayed by most in the game threads.

 

I have a feeling it'd be a tie if there were nearly as many making baseless good predictions.

[big_shooter17]

I had this feeling that when Harden would have a shaky start, that'd be when the Cubs would actually score to make up for those games where he was spot on and couldn't buy a win.

93 DP's coming into the game, tied for 13th in the ML and tied for 5th in the NL.

If we do, it's a symptom of a good thing.

 

I'll let you figure that part out.

What's that have to do with the bottom of the 6th with your 3-4 hitters up and you can't score?

When you are 20+ over .500 and are leading the game, there is no such thing as baseless optimism.

yes but you forgot about the bullpen (HOWRY) blowing it

[98navigator]

Ozzie Guillen has been suspended 2 games for his comments about having has pitchers hit players. Managers can't appeal so it starts tonight.

[Keener98]

Lol Howry gets away with a huge mistake pitch.

[killthegoat06]

YES SIR

[inari]

Howry versus Carlos Lee seems like it could have hilariously bad results.

[PrimeTime]

Someone needs to make a pic of the Piniella dice with all sided Bob Howry

[swordsman]

Alright!

 

One more Bobby, just one more out!

 

DO IT!!!
