5/4 Cubs (Dempster) @ Pirates (Maholm) 6:05 CT WGN

[Schwarber Fan]

Are the cardinals pitchers ever gonna realize they aren't all Sandy Koufax?

 

It's really ridiculous... they're shutting down the best offense in the NL.

 

f that team.

 

edit: Wainright's good though

 

also, I traded Hamels away, of course.

[Sammys Boombox]

For the third time this inning the Cubs have swung at a 2-0 pitch that was far from ideal.

[illiniguy]

Aramis looks awful.

[imb]

this game looks terrible, even for WGN SD

 

it really does. at first i thought it was just my eyes, but it's pretty miserable.

 

byrd favoring his leg once he got to second. really hope he's going to be ok.

Of course Vitters is a few years away yet, right?

Wait, what happened to Byrd? I didn't notice him favoring anything.

I hardly think Aramis is done. He's been an elite hitter for years.

nothing for sure, just observation.

[Sammys Boombox]

Wow. 12 balls and 3 strikes.

[Schwarber Fan]

this guy's gonna throw less than 10 strikes the whole inning and not allow any runs

[inari]

Why not pinch hit Fukudome?

[Cubswin11]

First good pitch of the inning there

[Sammys Boombox]

This is terrible. Doesn't even have to throw close to 50% strikes to get through an inning.

[Guest]

Strike 1 was literally 2 feet outside.

[Schwarber Fan]

[erik316wttn]

Crap. Nady was right on that one, too.

[Sammys Boombox]

Strike 1 was literally 2 feet outside.

[inari]

Is it so much to ask to get one damn game over .500?

 

Yes, apparently.

[gflore34]

Meek - blind squirrel finds nut

[Schwarber Fan]

9 strikes in the inning

 

unreal

[squally1313]

God it would have sucked to have Soto there in the 7 spot.

[inari]

[expletive] horrible.

[erik316wttn]

[expletive].

 

That was probably one of the most pathetic innings I've seen this year. The guy isn't even throwing the ball within the city limits and he gets out unscathed. Unforgivable.

[inari]

You know, just when this team starts to look like they're putting together something, they pull this [expletive]. It's happened so much already this year. They snap off a few in a row and then lose in absolutely embarrassing fashion.

[erik316wttn]

MEAT!!
