8/5 Cubs (Harden) @ DB's Reds (Lehr) 6:10pm CSN, XM-186

[Derwood]

oh fer [expletive]'s sake

[Andy]

Hilarious. Even Len wanted to rip into him for that crap.

[inari]

Soriano is definitely one of the worst baserunners I've ever seen. Since his arrival to the Cubs, he's gotta lead the world in times being picked off.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So were really going to get shut out by this journeyman, huh? I guess its not much worse than getting shut out by Nelson Figueroa.

[CyHawk_Cub]

wow

[Irrelevant Dude]

Brenly with a nice semi-subtle dig at Soriano there.

That was just laziness. Hands on hips, looking around.

[JonJayCutler]

Lehr's stuff is so bad that its good. Thats the only thing I can think of.

[B-Diddy]

Wow. Can't believe we're making this guy look like Santana.

I don't know what this means exactly in the debate of how unstoppable the Phillies are, but I figured I'd throw it out there anyway.

 

2008 Cubs offense: .797 team OPS (1st in NL); 5.31 R/G (1st in NL)

 

2009 Phillies offense: .783 team OPS (1st in NL); 5.29 R/G (1st in NL)

 

2008 Cubs pitching: 3.87 team ERA (2nd in NL); 4.17 R/G (2nd in NL)

What'd he say? He's usually not that subtle about it.

[rocket]

thank god i went to yesterday's game

[Schwarber Fan]

So we hear about how Lehr walks a lot of guys and the Cubs go up hacking at 85 MPH fastballs and can't hit them even when they are right in the strikezone

 

wow...

[Schwarber Fan]

God forbid we take a full game lead in the division I guess...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Samardzija in to pitch for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras grounded an IF single to shortstop

[inari]

It'd be nice if Samardzija could do something to show he belongs on the roster.

[NotSoSober]

DFA please

[Hall7810]

My goodness, who did he think was running?

[rocket]

nice d miles

[Little Slide Rooter]

Just put Fox at short stop. Sure, he may kill us with his defense, but Miles kills us with defense and offense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras stole second base

[JonJayCutler]

Does anyone still think Miles is better than Blanco?
