[BCVM22]

This has the makings of one of those games where the Cubs tie it at the last second and then lose in extras.

[DiamondMind]

[illiniguy]

Why can't he start at first base for us?

[Careless]

And we have an official fake rally!

[DiamondMind]

Seriously though, free Hoff.

[CubbieBum]

Well its definitely a rally. Just a question of whether it is fake or not.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hooray for a run. Boo for the fake rally.

Last time the Cubs were shutout two games in a row was May 4 and 5 of 2006 (courtesy of ESPN) by Arizona and San Diego.

 

The pitchers?

 

No, not Randy Johnson and Jake Peavy (as Sut speculated).

 

Instead, the Cubs were shut out by Juan Cruz and a couple relievers and Chan Ho Park and a couple relievers.

 

Oh the wonderful 2006 season.

[Keener98]

Reed vs a Rh pitcher FTL

[TruffleShuffle]

does sutcliffe remember the 2006 cubs? you didn't need randy johnson and jake peavy to shut them out; miguel batista and david wells probably could have gotten the shutouts.

[Butterscup1679666578]

swing all the way through you dolt

[Soul]

Hoff says screw this, every at-bat my career is on the line, I'm not slumping for anyone.

[illiniguy]

nice swing.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why not bat Hill who would have to come in to catch anyway?

[DiamondMind]

Now Reed has a nice beard. He should teach Franklin how to do it.

[BigSlick]

Can we have a little 2008 Reed Johnson magic right here

 

SOTP SWINGISNG AT EVERYTHING ADSFASDLFJK

[Fred Hornkohl]

boooooooooo he wasnt even close to swinging but boooooooooooooooooooooooooo

But, was there in intent?

 

Man, you're goofy. You can't play baseball in a tent !!! :scratch:

[Butterscup1679666578]

reed johnson is useless.

[NotSoSober]

Johnson with 2 great swings :-))

[Guest]

Reed doesn't even look like he's ready to bat.

[Cubswin11]
