8/22 Nationals (Lannan) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 1:20 WGN

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This game is starting to look like my butt vomit.

[CubsBears29]

Howry in.

 

The chances of only losing 6-4 today just went out the window.

 

 

:hello:

[UMFan83]

I hate this franchise. I really do.

 

Cubs could finish with the best record in the NL, and have a winning record against every NL team except the worst team in the NL

[17 Seconds]

I hope Howry gives up about 5 runs here.

[David]

Awesome job you worthless piece of crap Howry.

 

fwiw, i can't lay much blame on him for a couple of infield grounders that were placed as well as possible

[TruffleShuffle]

yay more ground ball hits.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Is this a cubbie occurance? :evil:

[Little Slide Rooter]

Looks like Howry wasted no time doing what he does best. He needs to be knee capped, as thats the only way he'll stay off the mound.

[UMFan83]

This is pathetic. Now we have to win 2 straight just to avoid a .500 homestand against the Red and Nationals.

 

Meh, we have been playing better on the road than at home for the better part of a month now.

 

Since July 24th

Home record: 10-7 (assuming a loss today)

Road record: 9-1

[bcl412]

Cubs offense, be good again and score some runs please.

[BCVM22]

uh relax

 

I'm relaxed, just angry and frustrated. When you're 29 games over .500, you simply cannot and should not be letting the worst team in the game walk all over you, nor should the aforementioned "walking all over" be compounded by letting a guy with a career .341 SLG hit a grand slam.

Time for another 6 pitch inning.

[Hall7810]

The wind is still howling out. We'll get mas.

[CubsBears29]

This obsession that Lou has with Howry is very unhealthy.

 

Bob is worth at least 1 run allowed for every appearance, and that's on a good day!

We got this....

[Guest]

I got to say, those ground ball and IF singles are annoying.

 

But then again, so are Jason Marquis and Bob Howry.

[weatherdood]

We got this....

 

We got what?

[17 Seconds]

Keep in mind that the Nats just ended a 12 game losing streak last night and we're about to give them a winning streak.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lets see if theres some life left in this offense.

[bukie]

Some people's expectations are waaaaaaaaay too high for this team right now, to the point where they are completely incapable of enjoying anything but a 10-0 blowout.

[big_shooter17]

The series should still be ok. We have our two best pitchers going in the next two.

[David]

uh relax

it's the nature of a very luck-dependent game.

 

and for what it's worth, i'd be far more pissed about walking a bunch of crappy hitters than about actually giving up the home run after doing it.

[PrimeTime]

Yea like Kouske is really gonna do anything

[bcl412]

wait, why did we miss a base hit?

[David]

We got this....

 

We got what?
