[bcl412]

Once again - Pujols, Ludwick, DeRosa, Holliday, Adam Wainwright hit that, it ends up 20 rows up, but now the Cubs best hitter

 

never

Aramis didn't hit that.

 

true, but the point remains valid

 

What if DeRosa hits it last year?

 

It hooks foul

 

What if the stadium moves to Philly and they rule it a home run anyways?

[bcl412]

For some reason I have a feeling that we're going to lose 3-1.

[Fred Hornkohl]

A Ramirez grounded out to third, 5-3

[Ballgame64]

A scoreless inning from Jeff. Mark this day down.

 

Maybe he feels compelled to pitch good since they kept him on the major league roster. Come on Aramis, please show some patience.

[Schwarber Fan]

What if the stadium moves to Philly and they rule it a home run anyways?

 

It's overturned by instant replay

[Sammy Sofa]

So far Miles has looked infinitely better at the plate tonight than Aramis.

[B-Diddy]

Awesome, Geo.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto called out on strikes

[illiniguy]

We got about a week of decent Soriano. Maybe this just isn't our year.

[UMFan83]

Why was Z scratched from his start?

Still hurting from last game.

 

 

Now that Z appears more hurt than the Cubs thought/let on how dumb was it to suggest that Z was going to pitch out of the pen last week?

[bcl412]

If the Rockies innings were as quick as the Cubs this game would be over by now.

Doesn't feel like it when whenever a player goes off the DL another player gets hurt within 2 days.

[Ballgame64]

SEVEN total pitches that inning. How does this happen so often from a team that was so much more patient last year?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Stewart singled to left field

[Sammy Sofa]

We got about a week of decent Soriano.

 

Are you serious? Were you in a coma for the other couple of weeks?

[illiniguy]

SEVEN total pitches that inning. How does this happen so often from a team that was so much more patient last year?

It seemed to me like the whole organization decided that last year wasn't worth it because of 3 games against L.A. Had to change everything up.

[illiniguy]

We got about a week of decent Soriano.

 

Are you serious? Were you in a coma for the other couple of weeks?

It sure didn't even out his slump like it normally does.

[B-Diddy]

Double play ball would be nice.
