5/17 Astros (Moehler) @ Cubs (Harden) 1:20 WGN

[TruffleShuffle]

where was that last half-inning?

[illiniguy]

Well apparently the ump is calling corners now

Bradley has no chance on anything borderline.

[laurens]

On the bright side, this is probably Moehler's last inning.

[illiniguy]

On the bright side, this is probably Moehler's last inning.

Is that good though?

Byrdak in to pitch for Houston

[Sammys Boombox]

It's hard to get mad at this team right now, but I really expect to win a game with this pitching matchup. Cubs bats need to bust out against the bullpen. They have the time.

[Hall7810]

Pathetic.
