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

[Butterscup1679666578]

it blows my mind that a professional GM and a professional manager can't see what tons of fans can see.

[Little Slide Rooter]

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

knee cap Miles?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

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

 

He throws *really* hard and he's an athlete. What more do you want?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-23 when they get a quality start.... 14-25 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Does anyone still think Miles is better than Blanco?

 

Not sure anyone ever did

[Butterscup1679666578]

why the hell would you throw that.

[rocket]

is it possible to throw in vitters with miles just so someone will take him?

 

wtf hill?!?!

[NotSoSober]

Does anyone still think Miles is better than Blanco?

Did anyone even think that? This is some awful defense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taveras stole third base

[Little Slide Rooter]

In a perfect world, Samrdzia and Miles would both be back in Iowa where they belong. How hoard would it be to just DFA Miles and keep Stevens instead of Shark?

[Hall7810]

Sometimes I wonder what the combined IQ of this team is?

[inari]

Eek. Pat said it best, "the Cubs just aren't playing good baseball tonight."

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 3 SB in a game.... Sat 25 July 09 (3 BBs) in an 5-3 win over Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Pat Hughes just called the Cubs out about not playing a heads up ballgame today.

[TysonCBulls423]

This is the first time where I actually feel like Lou and Hendry are clueless. For the love of god, Aaron Miles is awful and his first day back you play him at SS and bat him 2nd? URGH

[JonJayCutler]

Please get Shark and Miles off this team. Goodness.

[Little Slide Rooter]

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

 

He throws *really* hard and he's an athlete. What more do you want?

 

2 words: Kyle Farnsworth.

[Irrelevant Dude]

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

 

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

After praising Rolen for having a good "feel for the game", Soriano got picked off and Brenly said "See what I mean about having a feel for the game?"

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzalez sacrificed, to shallow right field , Taveras scored

[Hairyducked Idiot]

2 words: Kyle Farnsworth.

 

I don't know if Farnsworth was really an athlete. Plus, I wouldn't mind him in this bullpen right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-13 when the opponent hits a sac fly.... 47-35 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Votto grounded out to first, unassisted

[Hairyducked Idiot]

A million baseball purists need to excuse themselves for a few minutes of privacy to celebrate the beauty of that run.

[TysonCBulls423]

I can't blame Shark. He needs to stop being shuffled around and stay in AAA and start every 5 days.

[Fred Hornkohl]
