D Lee grounded out to third, 5-3

[The Hot Dog Guy]

3-0 counts that end in weak ground outs piss me off

[J.R.]

We dodged a Grablow there, I just hope he doesnt come out for the 7th. Of course that could also be Bullet Bobs return. The possibilities are endless, and very frightening.

 

Fans everywhere have counted the days until the return of ol' 62.

[The Hot Dog Guy]

also, if Baker is in, why not bat him lead off? .405 obp vs lefties this year, .354 lifetime, much better numbers than Theriot vs lefties

[Fred Hornkohl]

Colvin in (6th) in rf for the CUBS

[Fred Hornkohl]

Treanor grounded out to short, 6-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Looks like we caught a break there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Borbon blooped a single to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Andrus walked , Borbon to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[JonJayCutler]

Grabow to Howry :(

[J.R.]

This is terrifying.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 9-8 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 11-16 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

So Lou had to leave that pile of crap in another inning, and now we have a guy who hasnt pitched in a week, and wasnt very good then in vs. the heart of a good lineup with 2 on. Brilliant Lou. Please resign.

[cheapseats]

Grabow to Howry :(

 

:lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Young doubled to left center field , Borbon scored, Andrus to third

[Little Slide Rooter]

Lou and Grabow both need to go far, far away and never come back.

[J.R.]

I think Lou should have waited for a high-leverage situation to bust out the Howry.

 

[expletive].

[haubrich91]

Lmfao. Starting off where he left the Cubs two years ago.

[illiniguy]

we are run by morons.
