8/17 Cubs (Lilly) @ Padres (Correia) 9:05 WCIU

[Fred Hornkohl]

Is there really any compelling reason to take Grabow out here ?

 

Lou wanted to make sure we knew he was still awake.

 

Some things I am willing to accept on faith.

[Keener98]

Oh God, Marmol is coming in? UGH

Hold on to your hats.

 

Manny will bat in the 9th for LA against Mr. 1.93 ERA Trever Miller.

 

Manny will face Franklin

[Flames24Rulz]

Anyone else think that sequence where Lou brought in Marmol was pretty humorous?

I wonder how far below 2.00 his ERA is.

[chuckywang]

era of 1.17

[UMFan83]

I can't wait for Gregg to face Adrian Gonzalez next inning (most likely)

 

It's possible that no amount of marine layer in the world would stop that ball from getting out.

Manny owns Franklin, though.

[Andy]

Manny owns Franklin, though.

When Franklin played for Seattle, probably. This is a different pitcher.

Was the first pitch as much down the middle as gameday has it?

[UMFan83]

LOL, 2 pitches, 2 outs for the Dodgers so far.

 

If the Cubs weren't in a battle with the Rockies, I'd hope the Dodgers blew their lead in the West.

1st pitch and Manny pops out lol. Screw you Manny. The Dodgers have seen 2 pitches and made 2 outs in the 9th haha

[MADD_DOG_31]

The Dodgers are just laying down

[Sammys Boombox]

I would like to thank the Dodgers for probably being the difference between a Cubs division title and a Cardinals division title.

[Outshined_One]

The Dodgers are just laying down

 

Can't wait for them to sweep us.

[UMFan83]

4 pitch 9th inning for the Dodgers. Nice work.

[Sammy Sofa]

That old man is terrifying.

[Keener98]

And Blake hits it to the track for the final out. Screw you LA!

[chuckywang]

I hate both the Dodgers and Cardinals.

[Andy]

Was that 4 pitches for LA? Unbefreakinglievable. What a bunch of clowns.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 49-3 when they lead at the end of the 8th inning (that's 94% boys and girls)

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Flames24Rulz]

And Blake hits it to the track for the final out. Screw you LA!

 

It was Charlie Haeger against Chris Carpenter. I figured this would've happened but the Cards were just messing with us for most of the game.

[Friendly Confines]

cubs are the luckiest team in baseball though

[UMFan83]

The Rockies are closer to the Dodgers in the NL West than we are to the Cardinals.

[Irrelevant Dude]

That old man is terrifying.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have nightmares involving him and sharp garden tools.
