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

[JonJayCutler]

I cannot believe Theriot has a decent chance for double-digit homers.

[Tryptamine]

Good god, soft hit single after soft hit single.

[Fred Hornkohl]

An LaRoche blooped a single to shallow center field , Moss to second

I cannot believe Theriot has a decent chance for double-digit homers.

 

Don't tell him that. We'll have to watch more 2-strike homerun swings that result in terrible strikeouts.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jaramillo struck out swinging

[Tryptamine]

I have to assume that's it for Harden. Overall, it was one of his best starts of the year.

[weis21]

Assuming that's it for Harden, that was a very encouraging outing.

I imagine he goes one more. Lou hates our pen.

We'll find out if he hits for himself this inning.

Looks like you were right. Harden makes the first out of the 7th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Harden grounded out to second, 4-3

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright, what the hell is up with Soriano?

[CubmanPi]

Nice shot, Adolfo. ](*,)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Tryptamine]

Alright, what the hell is up with Soriano?

 

People keep saying "you know he's going to get hot". I'm really not so sure about that.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I wish Lou would move Soriano down.

[JonJayCutler]

0-4 against a guy he normally owns. ](*,)

[Careless]

So I missed Theriot's homer, what kind of hit was it?

Then the question is why. The only thing I can think of that would make this cold streak so prolonged are these knee troubles we keep hearing about.
