9/2 Astros (Backe) v Cubs (Z!) 7:05 WGN

[CubsNSkers07]

Wow Pence was swinging for the cycle on that 2-1 pitch.

 

luckily only singled.

[David]

Well, that was lucky.

[Outshined_One]

Seriously, this is an absolute dumb luck game.

[inari]

Rammy's defense the past few games has been bad.

Whats insane: Lee's GO/AO this year is 1.46. His previous high? 1.26 in 70 games with the Marlins in 99. Prior to this year with the Cubs it was .96, .89, 1.09, 1.03. This suggests a mechanical problem with his swing where he isn't getting around on balls as well as he used to. Could it be tied to his wrist injury?

[Ski]

Pat made it sounds like Lee hit that DP ball hard. For those watching, can I at least take solace in that or was it the same old?

 

No, the ball was scolded. I like his approach. He got a meatball on a pitch Brocail was grooving, but he just didn't hit it in the air like he should have.

Sounds like me in my summer baseball league :D I always hit slow grounders, but I'm always fast enough to beat them out.

[C.C.]

I hate pence.

[Andy]

Oh, for crying out loud.

[kujay]

Where was his first-base coach on that one?

 

And I think he may have beat that one out anyway.

[BCVM22]

Dammit dammit dammit

[TMan92]

If we only had Blum playing third..........just kidding.

[Guest]

Bah, c'mon Aramis. At least it was only one base.

[rocket]

uh oh

[OleMissCub]

I both loathe and love Hunter Pence

[Derwood]

Woopsy-daisy

[Ski]

Just strike out this guy, Marmol.

[17 Seconds]

Once he stepped back Pence would have beaten the throw anyways

[Omar]

A-Ram will make it up in the 9th.

Somehow lee is going to get hurt, Hoffpower comes in hits 40 homers in the final month, carries us on his back to WS title while adopting starving african children and being named man of the year therefor winning the nobel peace prize. Print it.

 

And than he takes off his masks and reveals himself to be Geovany Soto

[mlarner]

Wow, Aram with a bunch of errors lately

He is getting old?

I agree.

I don't see why it would be, he was fine the last two years.

[CubsBears29]

Ayala walks Kapler. Men on 1st & 2nd, 2 down, still 6-5 Mets.

 

Weeks at the plate.
