4/8 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler) - 7:05 CDT CSN+

[XZero771679666304]

Again, why keep Bradley in the game? If you're putting Gathright into CF, moved Fuku over to RF for the 9th.

 

You beat me to it. Stupid. Why pull the superior defender when you could move him to his natural position?

[Hall7810]

Great zone, blue.

[Cynosure]

12th OTL for the Hawks this year :(

 

(yes I realize this is the Cubs game thread.)

 

Who cares... pointless game.

 

Sucks the Hawks were forced to lose in the pointless shootout (the stupidest thing to ever occur in sports). It's like the Cubs being tied after the 9th and being forced to go to a home run derby.

 

Sucks the Hawks got another fake loss.

 

GO CUBS!

So why is Vizcaino on the roster?

To get Marquis off of it.

congrats to the two white trash astros fans who just got engaged.

 

Their children shall be belligerent and numerous.

 

Futurama references?

 

 

Nerd.

 

Also, bite my shiny metal ass.

[Soul]

Is Vizcaino in Lou's doghouse already without even throwing a pitch?

Lou is saving him for the really tough games.

[Butterscup1679666578]

man i'm really glad kosuke had a game like that this early in the season. it would've been terrible had he started off with a huge slump and had the media/fans get all over him.

[gflore34]

Its really annoying when crap hitters like Bourne keep getting on base vs Cubs.

We have a winner!

[Gmoney08]

Tonight.. the return of Fuk?

 

We can hope..

[Hall7810]

Filthy.

[Soul]

Is Gooz back? That was freaking nasty. This could be huge for us.

I just hope people can start supporting him and maybe boost his confidence instead of treating this game like a fluke.

[erik316wttn]

Cripes, the stands are deserted.

 

I know the Astros are down by 5 in the bottom of the 9th, but still. My God, you might as well get the aisles swept while you're at it.

Sweet! Do I win a black guy?

Bite my glorious golden ass.

I've always had tons of manlove for Gooooooooooooz!

[TruffleShuffle]

man if gooz can just stay healthy and get some experience, he could be a heck of a reliever.

Guzman = Marmol part 2

 

Bradley = Soto part 2

Nice to see Guzman finally made it to this level after seemingly spending 6,000 years in the minors.

If you are a male fish, Kanye West would like to have a few words with you.

True, its not like the Hawks need to become better at the shootout for the playoffs, since that can't happen.

Yeah, in a couple months when he helps get us Peavy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS made 16 hits in a game.... Sat 06 Sept 08 (18 hits) in a 14-9 win at Cincinnati

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Reporters asked Lou that the other night. He said Milton is a good outfielder and he won't be replacing him for defense. After some of the mistakes Fukudome made in CF towards the end of spring. I think Lou is little nervous about Fukudome defense in CF. But if he starts to do well I'm sure Lou will keep him in there.
