The Cubs are a warning track shot away from it being one of those games.

8 pitch innings are nice though.

 

What now?

[TruffleShuffle]

come on, it's doug davis, he sucks

[Keener98]

Ahh this is going to be one of those games where we make the pitcher work early, but then let him settle in and do absolutely nothing against him for the next 5 innings. Ive seen this 1 before

[Tryptamine]

Uh oh Milton, if you don't get a hit next time you're back down to that double digit batting average.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster with an 8 pitch inning, so Davis has to match him with one of his own.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tracy homered to right field

[Tryptamine]

I think I'd rather go study; I'll be back later in the game.

[laurens]

No biggy, we only have like 3.8 more years left of him and were off the hook. It could be slightly worse though. It could be "Big Game Ollie" Perez.

i know, why the hell can't the cubs hit him

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 5-2 when they allow fewer than 4 runs.... 5-7 when they don't
