This has the feel of one of those games where the 1st team on the board gets the W. Sadly, weve had a lot of those lately, and sadly, its usually the other team on the board first.

 

And yes, Fukudome is back to his post May 2008 form, and probably going to stay that way.

God hates the Cubs. There is no other logical explanation.

That is the Derek Lee we've come to expect.

 

So you expect him tp DP because of one season despite this only being his second all year?

[TruffleShuffle]

this is friggin boring.

[salukifudd]

That pitch to Fuku was awfully meaty and all he could do is a 3-hopper up the middle.

[Outshined_One]

Great job showing the first out, WGN.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Getz grounded out to second, 4-3

[Friendly Confines]

Corey Patterson starting in center for the Nats??

[UMFan83]

nice to see an IF with some range.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Beckham singled to right field

[rynefan]

If the comatose offense isn't bad enough, there's been a lot of great defensive plays against us

[Fred Hornkohl]

Floyd sacrificed, 3 unassisted, Beckham to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-16 when the opponent executes a sac bunt.... 24-15 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Yes...I frankly expect all our hitters to make outs these days.

Carlos has given up 2ER in his last 22 innings.

Do they even try to fix his approach? Is he just afraid of the ball? Why do they let him go up there every day with the same approach and fail?

This game is hard to watch. This thread is hard to read. Egads! Cubs and NSBB break out of this funk! (life's too short)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nice block by Dreckman !! :wink:

[Careless]

How is this guy not better at bunting?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Von was interviewed on the radio before the game and said he is in the beginning stages to helping Fuku, he said Fuku is not planting his front foot before starting his swing, he compared it to throwing a ball before your front foot lands.

Not good.
