It is reported that some 30 million people in this country suffer from mental illness or insanity...... but not me !!!

 

In fact, I rather enjoy it !!!

[GlassCow]

Awesome.

[UMFan83]

Geez, that was farther than his first one. Impressive.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pujols homered to left field , Ludwick scored

[UMFan83]

If the wind was blowing out hard, that might have hit the building a couple of floors up.

[Careless]

In a video game I would definitely have plunked him before he hit that homer

[bhogg]

did that one land in Canada?

[haubrich91]

That one hurt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-14 when they get a quality start.... 6-12 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday grounded an IF single to third base

[UMFan83]

Are we still holding out hopes that he is disgruntled and leaves for another team in a year or two? Or did the Holliday signing end that?

[UMFan83]

They weren't lying when they were talking about Dempster's struggles with 2 outs..

 

srsly

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-8 when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 22-18 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Dempster is really having trouble putting hitters away today.

[Ballgame64]

Failure to take advantage of basesloaded with only one out and then Dempster promptly walks a guy hitting .202 and 3 runs later...

 

This team is very hard to root for.
