I feel comfortable in extrapolating a no-hitter from this sample.

Makes sense.

Pena is going to hit a bomb today

[Guest]

I think Starlin should be able to call for a ghost runner and bat for Barney here.

[Exile on Waveland]

/man crush.

[Guest]

Nine game hitting streak for Byrd.

[Schwarber Fan]

Stupid park.

 

That was 100 feet longer than Bill Hall's HR's yesterday.

[JonJayCutler]

If we were going to get a guy who strikes out as much as Pena, why couldn't we have got Dunn?

[Fred Hornkohl]

I guess I'm going to be the first to say it:

 

Brett Myers beats his wife.

 

First to say it but you aren't the first to elude to it if you look at the OP

 

i think the proper word alluded you.

 

Very well played !!

 

Thank you !! =D>

[Keener98]

2 bunt hits to start the game? Pukeeeeee

[CUBZ99]

I'm sick of hearing about Coleman and Russell's parents. Would be more interesting if either of them were any good at all.

[Careless]

the one thing your emergency starter needs when making his first start is bad luck

[Irrelevant Dude]

So why would the Cubs not call up someone who can throw closer to 100 pitches? Doesn't anyone have options?

[illiniguy]

Great start.

[JonJayCutler]

I hate getting beat by teams with zero talent.

[MWV]

Russell is on pace to go about 3 innings.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Good news !! I escaped earlier today from Houston. Am now at one of my all time favorite places, Fat Head, LA. (The locals call it Grosse Tete, but whatever). Sitting here at the Tiger eating seafood gumbo and listening to Pat & Ron Keith so I don't have to listen to those awful annoucers the Astros have. This has usually been a recipe for a CUBS victory, so............

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Flames24Rulz]

So...I'm sure we had another option besides Russell in the minors, didn't we?

[NotSoSober]

Pretty sure thats all they were expecting him to go since hes not really stretched out.

[treebird]

gamecast thinks russell is getting hosed on these pitches on the outside corner at the knees
