PIT ties it at 2.

Ron said that Kosuke was working in the cage with Perry and watching video to try and stay on the ball more. I think he stayed on that one.

 

Brenly was talking about Kosuke talking with Lou about working on his swing, too. Apparently he shortened up his stride, but that one looked like Kosuke had a long stride.

Suck it, Rozner!

[Keener98]

In my opinion, Fuku would benefit from hitting 8th in this lineup. With his eye he should be able to really work the count, and may help him get in better hitters counts.

[Mizzou]

I love the big ovation Kosuke got when he first stepped to the plate. That had to make him feel good.

John Cusack knows his Cubs baseball.

I know its a long shot, but Toronto is trying to make some noise in the AL wild card eh?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 67-2 when they lead at the end of 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[Outshined_One]

I know its a long shot, but Toronto is trying to make some noise in the AL wild card eh?

 

I think ESPN would explode if two teams from the AL East made the playoffs and neither were the Red Sox or Yankees.

 

The Blue Jays are 7 back in the Wild Card, though. That ain't happening.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Flores flied out to center field

Brenly was talking about Kosuke talking with Lou about working on his swing, too. Apparently he shortened up his stride, but that one looked like Kosuke had a long stride.

 

The stride looked long still, but his step seemed to be quicker.

[Keener98]

Marmols numbers are just freaking ridiculous, and thats even with his rough patch he went thru.
