I miss scoring runs.

CUBS are 67-38 when they hit at least 1 double.... 7-10 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Ahh, damn. Double right before the pitcher.

only 1 LOB each of the last 2 innings... c'mon guys, pick it up.

[Magnetic Curses]

i know that was dempster but this is ridiculous. when are we going to get a hit w/ risp? when? it has to happen, doesn't it?

 

maybe not against florida.

[Guest]

Now I wouldn't be against trying to steal third and hoping for a bad throw.

 

Obviously it didn't happen but this would be a bad idea as well. High likelihood that Reed gets thrown out which would mean Dempster would lead off the next inning, which wouldn't be good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cantu flied out to deep left center field

[Guest]

And now we're happy the ballpark is so huge.

[TMan92]

Dempster is not fooling these guys anymore.

If I was Dempster and I knew I was a bad hitter and I was facing a pitcher with control problems, I would probably take a pitch or two.

Dempster is not fooling these guys anymore.

Sure proved that with those last two hitters.

Love the fly on the wall commercial.

Does Z know when the camera is on him?

Yep. Very nice recovery...Hopefully Sori can tie this right now.

Theriot hit by pitch

This catcher is 4 for 18 at throwing out runners after throwing out Theriot earlier in the game. Not a high % move, but if you are going to try to have someone steal third, I'd rather have done it in that situation
