I'm so sorry I dissed you early this year DLEE. You're still a pimp.

[salukifudd]

Of course none of our drives will get out.

 

Koolaid guy "oh yeah"

[NotSoSober]

Lee is a monster

[illiniguy]

I'd marry Lee if it were legal in Illinois.

nice.

[str8carter]

They are gonna finish us off this weekend.

 

A series split seems like a victory for the Cubs to me - here's hoping we can get even that.

I don't see how we even split. Our offense is a joke. So is theirs, but they will still find a way to score 4 a game against us.

Not to be argumentitive....but Molina, Ryan and Shumaker all around .300 this year. And Ludwick coming back after injury is hitting over .300 with power. Then there's Pujols.

 

Why do we pitch to Lee????

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Lee right now and Soriano occasionally, hottest Cubs since Sosa?

[PrimeTime]

Seriously, how did the wrist problems/ warning track power just dissappear? Now he's hitting them oppo and just cranking it?

Yeah I totally think of Ryan and Molina as .300 hitters. Good point.

[SouthSideRyan]

Our Rich Harden is broken, can we get a new one?

 

Next time Billy Beane doesn't want much for a guy, we should probably begin to wonder.

 

(Not that I wouldn't still take the deal).

 

Yeah Harden [expletive] sucked last year.

He's hurt, there is no doubt. I just wish he would have had the surgery. We have the pitching depth to have handled that.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Looking at next year's FA list, Harden is probably the best SP option out there. I wouldn't mind resigning him if we fall out of contention and then shut him down and make him have surgery.

[illiniguy]

right down the middle.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Carpenter walked

[PrimeTime]

Walking the pitcher? Holy hell

[illiniguy]

Walking the pitcher? Holy hell

He should have k'd him. That 2-2 pitch was a strike.

[Hall7810]

Guess there are no corners today

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-9 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 26-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Trying to set up the morale-killing DP?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bryan popped out to first base

I like Harden, but that's crazy talk. With as many holes as this team has, the Cubs can no longer afford to take that risk.
