6/29 CUBS (Harden) @ Pirates (Duke), 6:05p WCIU-TV, WGN 720

Hey, we're only 5 games out. How'd that happen?

The rest of the division has turned to crap.

[Roast]

Seriously, this division is full of so much suck.

[Jake]

Ha!

 

Seems everyone else is following our model! :-)

[JonJayCutler]

Soriano's career line against Duke: .517/.548/.862/1.410

 

With multi-hit games in four of his last five, this would be a good night for Soriano to officially begin a hot streak.

I'm pretty sure Soriano owns Duke, IIRC

 

This seems like an ideal series for him to start to go on a tear

Sorry didn't see that post. Its ashame we don't face Snell this series, Sori has an even better OPS against him.

Snell recorded 13 consecutive strikeouts on his way to a Minor League season-high 17 over seven innings Sunday as the Indianapolis Indians walked off with a 2-1, 10-inning victory over the Toledo Mud Hens.

 

no thanks ;)

no thanks ;)

 

Granted, 17 over all and 13 in a row is an impressive, go to the Indy Indians site and look at the video of some of the [expletive] those guys were swinging at.

 

I could have had 10 strikeouts against those guys. Well, OK, no I couldn't. But, you get the idea.

[Hall7810]

According to el gordo. sori, riot, lee, fox (3b), soto, milt, freel (cf), blanco, harden.

[JeffH]

According to el gordo. sori, riot, lee, fox (3b), soto, milt, freel (cf), blanco, harden.

 

The worst defensive outfield in MLB history?

Well glad to see Milt finally moved out of the 3 hole. Maybe he can relax a little bit down in the order.

[Derwood]

won't be seeing this one. thanks Selig

[Rusch33]

According to Gordo.. Ramirez batting practice tonight and then 4-5 rehab games.

[Gingerballs Lives]

I think I'd like to see this lineup tonight:

 

Theriot SS

Freel 3B

Fox LF

Lee 1B

Hoffpauir RF

Hill C

Blanco 2B

Fuld CF

 

Think about somebody, at any point last year, saying they would actually like to see this lineup and not be kidding.

 

Oh my.
