8/20 DBR(Arroyo) @ Mega Cubs(Lilly) 7:05 WCIU

[CubsBears29]

Won't mean anything for other than ego (since Uggla gave the AL HFA for the WS), but if we can make the comeback tonight, we'll be in sole ownership of the best record in baseball. LAA beat the Rays.

 

 

Won't mean anything if lose, but sounds like DeRo has really been flashing the leather tonight.

 

Cmon bats, use that mo' and do this!!

[weatherdood]

How about an ARamabomb in the 9th.........

 

A 2R Edmondsbomb would be preferred.

[Magnetic Curses]

fake rally time?

[Schwarber Fan]

A Jimmy walkoff would be so sweet but all his HRs are towering blasts and I don't think anything will carry tonight.

[weatherdood]

fake rally time?

 

Where are the rally boobs?

[17 Seconds]

quit worrying.

 

It's one freaking game and it's not even over yet.

 

But it's not just one game. The offense does this a lot.

[Guancous]

Baseball Prospectus mentioned in passing today how DeRosa was one of the best defensive 2Bs in the league. I thought that was odd but he certainly proved my instincts wrong tonight.

Back-to-back to end the game would make me feel good.

[CubsNSkers07]

And if you don't win Cubs please at least everyone see 3 pitches, that might give you a little of a chance.

Won't get an argument from me

I'll never forget when Alou and Sammy did that on 2 straight pitches.

They've won 17 of 21 and are lapping the rest of the league. It's not like this team is pulling a '69 Cubs. Or a '04 Cubs or '07 Mets, for that matter.

[CubsBears29]

Cmon Cubs, use this!!

 

McClelland not happy with Reds catcher, so might give us calls on close pitches!

Danny Graves FTL.

[erik316wttn]

Aram K's.

[CubmanPi]

What did their catcher do?

[CubsNSkers07]

Aramis whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy swing at a pitch in the dirt.

[CubsBears29]

And Aramis Ks on B4.

 

 

Cmon JimmyBallgame and DeRo!! :beg:

[bcruise]

Aram K's.

On an awful pitch.

[17 Seconds]

The last pitch to Aramis changed everything. The crowd is completely out of it now.

[bhogg]

quit worrying.

 

It's one freaking game and it's not even over yet.

 

But it's not just one game. The offense does this a lot.

 

 

 

Unpossible --- they aren't head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the NL by doing this alot. Poop happens.

[17 Seconds]

This is just pathetic. Cordero has been getting lit up by everybody.

[erik316wttn]

Jimmy Ballgame K's looking.

 

What a waste this evening has been. I could have been playing Wii all night.

[CubsBears29]

What did their catcher do?

 

Just listening, but Pat said that Hannigan (Reds C) argued that B3 to ARam was a K, and McClelland was giving it back to him.

[CubsNSkers07]

Welp up to Derosa a man with 2/3 of our hits today. Can he make it 3 of our 4 hits and tie the game? I'll say a weak groundout.
