7/26 DBR (Owings) vs. Cubs (Harden) - 1:20 - WGN/WGN

[CubmanPi]

On your feet! Get the brooms ready...

[Keener98]

Wtf Lou? Why?

[JGalt73]

I wonder if the Cubs aren't betting on games, seems like they always give a few runs up when they have big 9th inning leads.

[Brian]

is this really necessary?

[GlassCow]

It's a good thing the Reds wait until the 9th inning to play baseball. Otherwise, we may not have swept this series. I realize it ain't over yet, but Greg is coming in for another monster 1-out save. Goody.

[BCVM22]

1-out Gregg? Again?

[Guest]

Seriously, Lou?

 

Just leave Gregg on the bench for once. Holy christ.

[Old Style]

Does Gregg have an incentive clause based on number of saves?

[illiniguy]

Wtf Lou? Why?

Gotta get Kevin back in the rolaids relief race I guess.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Another 1 out save opp for Gregg... Lou doing his best to cement Gregg as a Type A

[98navigator]

Lou doesn't trust Shark and neither do I at this point. Make it painless Gregg.

[GlassCow]

That made me giggle.

[Coach C]

Lou's done a really good job of setting things up today and not having to use Marmol or Gregg, plus getting Reed into the game in a good spot.

 

Yeah, the "Lou is an idiot" thread may actually be quiet after this game

 

Spoke too soon. :D

[Brian]

Does Gregg have an incentive clause based on number of saves?

 

i don't think that's possible, maybe games finished.

[Keener98]

I think Lou has Kevin Gregg on his fantasy team, and needed another save

[JGalt73]

If Gregg's giving up the gopher ball, let's get it of the way before another runner reaches.

[Coach C]

Game.

Much like proclaiming a Cubs victory, it's best to make comments like mine AFTER the game is over

[Brian]

nice!

[Guest]

CUBS SWEEP!!

 

8-2 since the break!

[BCVM22]

Play it Steve Goodman!

[GlassCow]

First place baby!
