8/17 Cubs (Gemster) @ Florida (Volstad) 12:10p CDT, WGN TV

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good. Now hopefully, somehow Lou can charge something into this lifeless bunch.

[javy knows my name]

Last time the CUBS pitchers got 10 Ks in a game.... Sat 16 Aug 08 (10 Ks) in a 2-1 loss at Florida

 

 

Go CUBS !!

definitely the strangest stat you've ever posted

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 46-17 when they get a quality start.... 29-31 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[anabiono]

why do we play like this in florida? WHY?

[C.C.]

Good job to limit the damage by Dempster.

 

I fear the way things are going, it won't matter. Cy Volsted (the guy who had 50 pitches in two innings) has been too tough.

 

We've hit him hard, but right at people. I'm still pissed about that stupid double steal!

[SpongeWorthy]

If the Cubs don't score some runs here I'm going to watch tonight's episodes of Becker on WGN.

 

You really don't want that hanging over your head do you guys?

Nice rip, Fonty.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot doubled to down the right field line

[kujay]

There's a nice start. Now let's see how we're going to strand him...

[C.C.]

If we don't score here I'm kicking or punching something!

Excellent start.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson blooped a single to center field , Fontenot to third

For AAA Iowa in Matairie, LA:

 

Angel Guzman: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 GO-1 FO

[SpongeWorthy]

Nice jam job, Reed.

 

RUNS PLZ.

[C.C.]

Whew! They are finally dropping in!

[Guest]

Woo hoo!

 

And here comes the pitching change...

[kujay]

Looked like he probably should have caught that. I mean, since he got there and all.

 

Yeah, he just overran it by a few inches.

 

No way Demp hits. Edmonds announced?

[Guest]

Ahh, the good ol' Juan Pierre trade.

[UMFan83]

Oh man, Edmonds vs. a lefty. Not a big fan of announcing him as the PH. I wish we had a RH off the bench besides Cedeno.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-37 when they trail at the end of the 6th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Rob]

Oh man, Edmonds vs. a lefty. Not a big fan of announcing him as the PH. I wish we had a RH off the bench besides Cedeno.

 

We have DeRosa today.

[kujay]

5:00 somewhere?

 

My Grandpa used to say it's always NOON somewhere. :thumbsup:
