8/26 Nationals (Hernandez) vs. Cubs (Harden) 7:05CT, CSN

[BCVM22]

Quick, somebody make Harden think he's pitching on the road.

[E.J.]

Grand slam.

[BCVM22]

the 1-2 was strike 3.

[TruffleShuffle]

it's pretty telling that after coming home from a bike ride, i checked all the scores of the minor league games and then remembered that the cubs were playing.

[Ihatepujols]

We're losing

[Schwarber Fan]

We're losing

 

Shocking

[Schwarber Fan]

Len's still the only announcer I've ever heard say "swing and the miss"

[Ihatepujols]

Why isn't 'Dome leading off?

[Ihatepujols]

Len's still the only announcer I've ever heard say "swing and the miss"

 

And the only one I've heard lose his voice mid sentence...but Len's awesome

[Schwarber Fan]

It'd be nice to at least put the ball in play, right?

[BCVM22]

Livan's gonna pitch 6 scoreless and strike out 8 tonight, isn't he?

[TruffleShuffle]

livan hernandez doesn't throw hard enough to crack a hard boiled egg and his arm is basically attached with string, silly putty and duct tape, there is no reason to not score runs off him.

[Ihatepujols]

This Hernandez guy must be really good right?

[NotSoSober]

But it's the unhittable Livan Hernandez.

I was saying the same thing when we faced him in the playoffs a couple years back. Oops.

[Ihatepujols]

I hate fans who attend baseball games and think every ball hit in the air is a homerun

[TruffleShuffle]

lol @ strike one on lee. i know we suck and aren't trying, but come on.

??? for those of us not watching?

[JonJayCutler]

That outside strike is a joke.

[NotSoSober]

I switched over to the LLWS during the commercial break in time to see some kid list Jason Marquis as his favorite baseball player. :confused:

[muntjack]

lol the strike one to Ramirez was just as bad as the strike one to Lee. A foot off the plate. I wouldn't mind but Harden wasn't getting pitches closer than that.

[Rusch33]

That whole Staten Island, NY team are big Marquis fans.

 

That's where he's from.

Yeah, saw that last week... probably a random Rockies fan that just started following them this season

[E.J.]

This is another perfect example of why I don't understand Cubs' management. Why is Soriano playing if he needs an MRI and possible surgery? We're 9 games out of the division.

Not to mention Fox and Fuld are both better options right now anyway
