Nice way to start the weekend!

[UMFan83]

haha 6 combined runs scored in the first 2 games of this series.

[Careless]

I feel like Joe Borowski's corpse is back on the mound with this team.

 

I'll take that win, though.

It's just not a Borowski experience without copious amounts of sweat

 

edit: of course, zombies don't sweat

[kujay]

Good. Now do it again tomorrow.

[Andy]

Scales shouldve thrown home.

Ok, I LOL'd.

[Hawk4Hall]

I love drunk fans who dance. :yahoo:

 

Hot chicks too. :cool:

Ha. Sweaty Joe.

 

Nobody rivals Ray King however in that department.

i might bet my centsports winnings on the under tomorrow.

[Outshined_One]

so what did scales do?

 

Routine grounder to third, flubbed it.

[ConstableRabbit]

so what did scales do?

Booted a routine grounder that would've ended the game

[CubColtPacer]

There has been a lot of close calls according to gameday, but that was the first pitch entirely in the zone called a ball that I've seen today.

 

gregg has gotten boned over on a bunch of those this year, frankly. one of the balls to ethier looked good too.

 

I feel like the zone for Gregg has been really tight this year as well. His entire gameplan is to throw pitches at the knees or higher on the outside corner, and the umps are not really giving him much either way.

 

That combined with the fact that he doesn't have a great "out" pitch is why he has so many walks. His control isn't terrible (it's a little below average)..but hitters have been fouling off the strikes, taking the close pitches for balls and then taking walks.

[Brian]

all hail the rally Joe Montegna

[Hawk4Hall]

Anyone else miss The Big Blue Train?

So this Stultz guy we face tomorrow we should crush right?

[coldsteel]

Pay attention Z. If you don't get booted out in the 7th and your team takes the lead in the bottom half, you can get a W! Go Cubs Win!

[A-Cal]

best win of the season so far

 

i feel GREAT

[erik316wttn]

haha 6 combined runs scored in the first 2 games of this series.

 

Wasn't last year's Wrigley series with the dodgers really low-scoring in all 3 games as well?

[erik316wttn]

Should? Yes.

 

Will? No.

I agree that Gregg hasn't gotten the shaft quite a few times this season when it comes to the umps calling strike 3, though he doesn't do himself any favors by working the count full so often.

[Bote McBoteface]

Watching the highlights on MLB.com made me remember how much I hate the 7th inning stretch guest composer BS.
