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

[erik316wttn]

Fonty had to be called off of that one, too.

[Tryptamine]

Miles and his .497 OPS are truly remarkable. It has to rank amongst the worst seasons in MLB history.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzalez struck out swinging

[chitown29]

If I'm a young guy at Iowa I should be pissed that a crappy veteran in Miles got a call up when he's underperforming almost everyone there.

$5 million well spent.

 

I wish I could be that crappy at my job and make 1/100th of what Miles does.

Rich Harden does not throw a slider.

[Tryptamine]

This has game has started with the potential to be absolutely maddening.

CUBS have won their last 11 games in which they've scored in the first inning

CUBS are 15-1 in the last 16 games in which they've scored first

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Friendly Confines]

Why is it so hard for pitchers to throw MB strikes?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bradley walked

[erik316wttn]

This has game has started with the potential to be absolutely maddening.

 

I have a feeling it will be. We have a golden opportunity, therefore nothing will come easy tonight.

[BCVM22]

Perfect game broken up.
