7/18 Cubs (Wells) @ Nationals (Zimmerman) 6:05PM WGN

[BigSlick]

That hit and run was perhaps the worst decision I've seen a Cubs manager make since I've been baseball aware

 

It makes negative sense

[bcl412]

I knew there was a reason I kept watching this game when it was 4-0. I think it has something to do with the opponents red uniforms and italic "W'.

 

Koyie Hill with a hit. That's kind of like a homer for him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill singled to center field

[Guest]

wow, this game is starting to look like a non-nightmare.

We still have two more innings.

 

 

true, but some good things have happened. granted, its the nationals and all but . . .

Koyie Hill with a hit. That's kind of like a homer for him.

But he already has a double today :scratch:

I'm gonna go with not having any one up in the pen in Game 6 during the 8th inning.

[Cubbie Swagger]

What a great game. Homers from Soriano and Fontenot.

 

Finally something to be optimistic about.

nah... the game on 6/22 was way worse. dempster labored through 6 innings and had thrown 105 pitches, the cubs were struggling to score and were down a run, and lou left dempster in lead off the top of the 7th and then face the top of the braves' order in the bottom of the inning. that was way worse than this hit and run.

We have a winner

 

They should make a new category for Dusty Baker though, he's really a god amongst men

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nieves lined out to first base

[Gingerballs Lives]

Agreed, it was awful times a billion and things like this from Lou drive me crazy.

Belliard, pinch hitting for Bergmann, walked

[CyHawk_Cub]

Throw strikes.

 

It's pointless to even demand/request

[illiniguy]

We have to have guys in AA better than Heilman

[JonJayCutler]

Haren down to a 1.96 ERA. Yikes.

[bcl412]

Morgan's going to do something annoying. I can feel it.
