I really don't get why Lou gives Aramis so many days off (I get that he has to be cautious with his shoulder, but imo he's getting too many days off) and why he doesn't play Soto. I mean, the guy's finally heating up, so the wisest thing to do is sit him, right?

Looks like CNBC is reporting live from a rooftop today talking about the business of baseball and those rooftop ticket sales.

Shoulder was clearly bothering Aramis last night

Oh, I didn't follow last night's game so didn't know that.

 

Thank god for no Miles then!

Pretty nice ceremony for the Medal of Honor recipients.

 

Anyone know where the music they played on WGN during the ceremony is from? Sounded like it was from some film; I really liked it.

I love Wells's equipment bag in the OP. Rookie hazing, perhaps?

[TruffleShuffle]

bases loaded, no outs and prince fielder up. promising start.

Really? The rookie always carries the 'Hello Kitty' backpack to the bullpen.

Maybe we should shut Wells down with Harden, he clearly has lost is or is fatigued. No use in piling up the innings on him/him losing confidence after such a good season.

[Schwarber Fan]

Leave it to the Cubs to score that run in the most boring possible way in baseball

[illiniguy]

Man if lee has a better at bat this could have been a heck of an inning.

[Schwarber Fan]

Baker can hit

[erik316wttn]

Haha you really have to screw up if the catcher picks you off.

No, I bet that's just his normal backpack.

I don't know why but even the most simple thing like sliding makes Ryan Braun seem like a dbag to me.

If it walks like a dbag, talks like a dbag, slides like a dbag then...

[circlecitycub]

Great catch by Fontenot!

[illiniguy]

This will end well. ](*,)

[UMFan83]

Split.

 

5 walks will do that to ya.

[circlecitycub]

Jody Gerut?

We have a team full of choke artists. As soon as we get back to the point of it mattering again we get these last two starts from our staff.
