5-1 Giants

 

That potential 4 games back in the loss column seems a lot closer than it really is.

 

God, I think Cubs fans deserve a miracle.

nice to know that even in a blow out, Shark still sucks ass

Yes, maybe they can convince him to waive his NTC in the offseason.

A Heilman relieved C Zambrano. 5 5

A Escobar fouled out to first. 5 5

Y Gallardo struck out swinging. 5 5

F Lopez grounded out to second. 5 5

0 Runs, 1 Hits, -1 Errors

 

This was part on ESPN play by play, so can someone please explain to me how a team can get a "negative error"?

God does Shark blow

Giants now up 7-1 on Colorado. It's on MLB Network if anybody cares.

Runs gloved in are counted as negative errors.

It's crazy to see that if the Giants win this, they will have taken 6 in a row from Colorado over the last 3 weeks and they would still only be 2.5 games out of the WC lead.

Too bad the Cubs decided to suck it up for 40-something days and are just now gaining three games on the Cards in a short period of time.

LOL. Pablo Sandoval lines a ball to left, the leftfielder dives for the ball, misses it and it rolls all the way to the wall. Sandoval only makes it to second.

In Spring Training Sandoval wasn't timed with a stopwatch. He was timed with a sundial.

Don't do that to yourself, man. You're only going to set yourself up for disappointment.

 

Let it go. Accept that there won't be any Cubs playoff baseball this year and just enjoy some stress-free games until the playoffs start for the good teams.

haha, exactly. Surely you have been a Cubs fan long enough to know not to get excited until they have a realistic chance.

I have never seen a pitcher melt down as bad as Carlos the minute things start not going his way. What an idiot.

 

Yep, just like game 2 of the NLDS when he [expletive] melted down by getting ground ball after ground ball. Get one [expletive] clue about anything.

[SouthSideRyan]

He still could have been out of that inning with the lead if we have a real shortstop.

I realize it was only one occasion, but Randy Wells seemed to be ok escaping a 3-error inning with only 2 runs. The defense may not have helped Zambrano, but he shouldn't completely fall apart whenever something bad happens.

 

Look at Zambrano's unearned run totals in his career.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Always wild and woolly when the CUBS play the Brewers !!

 

Last time the CUBS scored 5 runs in an inning.... Tue 08 Sept 09 (7 runs in the 1st inn) in a 9-4 win at Pittsburgh

Last time the CUBS scored 13 runs in a game.... Fri 14 Aug 09 in a 17-2 win over Pittsburgh at Wrigley

Last time the CUBS drew 12 walks in a game.... ????

Last time the CUBS got 3 HBP in a game.... Sat 10 May 08 (3 HBP) in a 7-2 win over Arizona at Wrigley

Last time the CUBS allowed 5 runs in an inning.... Fri 04 Sept 09 (5 runs in the 8th inn) in a 6-2 loss at NY Mets

Last time the CUBS pitchers got 11 Ks in a game.... Fri 11 Sept 09 (12 Ks) in a 6-4 win over Cincinnati at Wrigley

Last time the CUBS allowed 2 triples in a game.... Wed 12 Aug 09 in a 12-5 loss to Philadelphia at Wrigley

I think its because Theriot was charged with an error but they reversed it the following inning.

Look, the guy melts down like crazy. When on, he has Ace stuff, but as soon as you see him start sweating and stomping around the mound its time to warm up the pen. This year has been worse than others, probably because hes frustrated by the way the season has gone as a whole, but looke at Lilly and Wells who keep their cool in the same situations aside from an isolated glove throwing incident.
