[nilodnayr]

If we lose this game on that call it's total bS. That's the worst call i've ever witnessed at a big league game. Who the crap doesn't tell HOWRY, Piniella whoever whats going on???? I mean DLee is supposed to be a team leader do you not remind your pitcher and manager what this guy has done to us??? SO soapdropping CUBS!!!!!

 

 

LOL...look...I agree the decision was awful, but come on. Lee should tell Piniella what to do? That's possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

 

Lee should have taken out his iphone from his back pocket and gone to fangraphs and shown Lou that the win probability was 66.8% and therefore a high leverage situation and he should use one of his better relievers. God damn you, DLee.

Howry in line for the win, awesome

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That was awesome!

[salukifudd]

Very nice!

[Soul]

Unbelievable. Just without any doubt whatsoever, unbelievable.

[Keener98]

Well good win today bailing out Howry and Lou.

 

 

Anybody see Lous postgame? Excuses galore for Mr Howry and laughing about his bad decision making. Sure glad we won

[PrimeTime]

Finally the sites back..Was out for like 3 hours

Seriosuly, Howry needs to go. I csnt remember the last time he didnt give up any runs, or a least come close. Any status update on Lieber? Wuertz? Guzman? Hell, Chad Fox would be an upgrade at this point.

Howry has now given up earned runs in 6 of his past 9 appearances.

Following up on Gaudin getting the win over the weekend when he blew the lead.

I thought the official scorekeeper had discretion about giving wins out to a reliever? Wouldnt this have been a perfect time to use this discretion?

Both of them would be perfect opportunities but it rarely if ever actually happens in the bigs.

I missed the game due to work. Saw the high score for both teams, just wanted to ask if everything is ok with Harden?
