Get it high

[nick23]

Pipe it Geo.

Gameday was slow and I actually thought Lou was going to let Hill bat and not pinch-hit Soto (or someone/Bradley). My computer might have gone flying out my office window if that happened. Edited June 25, 2009 by Exile on Waveland

I guess weed clearly isn't a PED.

[Keener98]

At least ask the 1st base ump blue come on

[Little Slide Rooter]

What a game! What a team!

[Derwood]

Rookie of the Year, folks

What does this say about Lou's opinion of Bradley right now that he wont PH Bradley as a lefty to face Rodney over Soto the Righty.

 

I guess it says he realizes Bradley isn't a good hitter against RHP.

[apete6]

This one's on Fontenot and Lilly.

[UMFan83]

It's ok Geo...couple of bong rips and you'll feel better about it.

It enhances things, but performance isnt one of them.

They would've walked Bradley and gone after Soto anyway.

[Banedon]

4 game win streak followed by 4 game losing streak. Weeeeee.

[E.J.]

Glad we could give Galarraga his first win in 2 months. This team is BAAAAD.

I doubt they put the go ahead run on base especially when he's got about a 650 OPS against RHP.

[Careless]

We were swept in 2001 by the 96-loss Tigers?

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Cards just lost to the Mets forfeit lineup, and the Brewers are down 4-0, so hopefully we dont lose any ground, although I am getting sick of being satisfied with thatwhen we should be about 5 games in 1st.

4 game win streak followed by 4 game losing streak. Weeeeee.

 

STL on pace for 87.5 wins after losing 3-2 to Mets. Cubs need to go 54-39, a .581 (94 win) pace, to get to 88 wins.

No we were swept in 06 by the World Series Tigers (you may remember it as Mark Priors last major league start to date). In 2001 we lost the last game of our series vs. Detroit making a 7 game losing streak against them.

[UMFan83]

That's crazy. Fox and hoff drove in 8 of the 12 runs the Cubs scored that series.

[Soul]

Bah humbug.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That's crazy. Fox and hoff drove in 8 of the 12 runs the Cubs scored that series.

 

Any truth to the rumor that Fox is demanding a trade back to Iowa?

[BCVM22]

Brewers lose.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Brewers lose.

While it does suck to have to scoreboard watch this early on, if this Cubs team can finally pick it up, especially wehn Aramis returns these NL Central teams may very well end up being very sorry that they didnt bury us when they had the chance. This is a division that nobody has any interest in winning, and the Cubs are talented enough to take it and be in first as soon as the ASB.
