[Andy]

Brewers and Stros down too, could be a hell of a day for us.

But he hits righty.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

That interview was really annoying

[Friendly Confines]

The Phils are really, really good.

[illiniguy]

Or just play Sori there and let Fox play left.

[Irrelevant Dude]

That interview was really annoying

I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time containing my excitement about the cornhole lottery game.

[Coach C]

Somebody should ask Fox if he can take some grounders at 2nd.....

Or just play Sori there and let Fox play left.

 

Well, the question is, how good is Fox's arm? Is it strong enough to throw out a runner heading towards home plate?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fisher in to pitch for Cincinnati

[Old Style]

Fred- Feel free not to post Hill's stats any more. Those are painful.

 

WTF? Owings already out?

[Sammy Sofa]

Dear Lord, people...THE #8 HITTER CAN BE BAD.

 

Soto will hit 7th when he comes back. A Fontenot/Baker platoon at #8 is fine. The Cubs don't need to be creating serious defensive liabilities in two positions to replace the #8 hitters.

[illiniguy]

What is Dusty doing? He had given up two runs.

[mul21]

Owings out? Wonder what that's all about.

the question is also how many runs you give up by losing two average defensive players and replacing them with terrible defensive players (soriano at 2b, fox in lf each qualify as terrible)

[Sammy Sofa]

The Phils are really, really good.

 

True, though Welly is really, REALLY bad.

GOOD LORD it won't kill us to try that for a couple of games until Geo gets back.

[Bruno7481]

Owings is either sick or injured according to Reds broadcast.

[UMFan83]

Brewers and Stros down too, could be a hell of a day for us.

 

Would be cool to see Colorado lose too so we could be 1 GB the Wild Card too.

[Old Style]

LOL! Put on the DL for shortness of breath? Just how short was his breath?

[illiniguy]

Strike 2 was generous.

[UMFan83]

I hope if good things happen and the Cardinals lose and the Cubs win, after the final out Len does something like he did in 07, "and the Cubs Win....the FIRST PLACE Cubs win"
