[Careless]

The bullpen is up, right?

[Outshined_One]

The bullpen is up, right?

 

Yep.

 

And now Z has cramps.

Wood and Marshall warming up.

[Omar]

Can someone get this guy a banana?

[erik316wttn]

Can someone get this guy a banana?

 

Don't the Cubs employ a nutritionist, or at least have someone on staff in charge of things like that?

[Outshined_One]

Wood is back!!!

[NotSoSober]

Wood! =D>

[Omar]

Are they applauding Z or cheering for Wood?

[erik316wttn]

Are they applauding Z or cheering for Wood?

 

A little of both, I think.

[Jake]

So he's not hurt? Just cramps?

 

The Pittsburgh broadcasters weren't sure.

[UMFan83]

That would be funny if whoever the pitching coach was (forget his name) brought a banana out to the mound with him.

[Schwarber Fan]

So he's not hurt? Just cramps?

 

The Pittsburgh broadcasters weren't sure.

 

He's had recurring cramp problems for a while.

[Outshined_One]

Oh sweet, it's 2008 again!

Still no word.

[bcl412]

At least Wood's back.

[otis89]

Oh sweet, it's 2008 again!

 

I wish. I'll gladly take another 97-win season.

Mark Riggins. It's weird not seeing Rothschild come out any more.

thats what Len and Bob seem to think and the way he reacted and given his history, I'd tend to think they are right(fingers crossed)

[Outshined_One]

Len just gave a fangraphs shout-out. Neat.

[Outshined_One]

Confirmed: Z with cramps in his pitching hand.

 

Cue computer usage jokes.

[Jake]

They just announced cramps.

 

Meanwhile, Cedeno has walked more times this series than all of last year.

[rocket]

remember all those scrappy 9 pitch walks cedeno took as a cub?

[Careless]

cameraman didn't believe that Castro had thrown that to first

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Carlos left the game with stomach cramps and natiousness watching his offense.

[sweetpeteman]

cameraman didn't believe that Castro had thrown that to first

 

 

Castro seemed to try to hold up but couldn't, because the throw seemed more like a loop then a strong throw.

 

 

 

Also: Geovanny Soto is a bad defender, right?

 

 

K for Wood.
