Myers pounding the outsider corner on almost every first pitch. It's frustrating to see it happen to us, but it is a thing of beauty to see from an outsiders perspective.

 

It's really not. Those were freaking balls.

[Flames24Rulz]

I don't see us winning this game and that's fine. We can't win them all...

 

hopefully Pitt will pull out a miracle win tonight.

 

Exactly. 3 out of 4 against the Phillies sure wouldn't be bad at all.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-32 when they trail by 2 runs or more at then end of the 7th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

well i don't like this match up

Go CUBS !!

 

 

Really? I mean I expect it to obviously be a huge losing record, but only 2 wins all year seems low.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burrell flied out to left field

before the series, I would have been happy with a split. I'd sure like to win it now (the series).

hehe Pittsburg, right. Maybe Zambrano will pitch well tommorow, 3 of 4 would be great. I figured 2 of 4 would be good in this series anyway.

Geez Myers is really impressive today.

I hadnt been impressed... we had him on the ropes several times and failed to cash in. I hate stranding runners in scoring position. How many pitches has Meyers thrown? He's gonna pitch 8 innings? Stupid offense, oh well suppose we were due for a loss.

 

He has been pretty impressive I think. He seemed to be pitching to contact in the early innings. It's not like he really got hit hard. Mostly bloop singles. I don't think we have an XBH. In the later innings his control really locked down. Almost every first pitch has been a strike, and not a hittable strike.

 

I am upset that the offense hasn't gotten more agressive as the game went along, but honestly you gotta tip your cap because Myers has looked good.

Don't be such a downer.

Z needs to step it up tomorrow. I have a feeling he's going to get roughed up...

Isn't Zambrano being skipped tomorrow??

According to the umps zone, those were strikes. Once he found the corner of the umps strike zone, hes been consistantly hitting that spot all game. If the zone was 2 inches more inside, he'd have probably found a way to hit that too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howard homered to center field

[UMFan83]

LOL, Howard hit a HR off a lefty (Cotts)

[InconspicuousZ28]

See ya tomorrow, fellas.

[C.C.]

I wished we kept Eyre. Cotts sucks!

[Vinestal]

See he does suck.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-15 when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 64-34 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Yeah its kinda funny that we got rid of Eyre in favor of Cotts and Cotts has blown up since that point.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Victorino grounded out to third, 5-3

"Really? I mean I expect it to obviously be a huge losing record, but only 2 wins all year seems low."

 

Nope, pretty standard. Intuition vastly overestimates how easy it is to come back late.

I haven't heard he is.
