4/12 Cubs (Russell) @ Astros (Myers) 7:05 pm CSN

[NotSoSober]

Ok. Russell is halfway through his pitch allotment after 1 inning. At least we get to lose AND decimate our bullpen. Was there really no one in the system who could absorb 100 pitches and a loss?

Hey, at least we'll get to see Smardjia walk 8 guys in innings

[treebird]

whoever put money on april 12 as the day reed johnson would make his pitching debut is going to win a lot of cash

[NotSoSober]

what the [expletive] is colvin doing?

[CUBZ99]

More great defense.

[beersoakedivy]

Great D...even if he lost sight of it

[ctcf]

I kinda feel bad for Russell

[MWV]

On the plus side, if this means Quade can insert Grabow in the third inning and pitch him until he dies, I think it's a net win.

[beersoakedivy]

This is amusing

[NotSoSober]

bunt bunt bloop bloop!

[illiniguy]

Man the bad thing is at some point we are gonna start to play some decent teams.

[beersoakedivy]

Pitch count already at 42

[ctcf]

Can we pull him yet?

[NotSoSober]

Might as well. Shark will put this game out of hand.

[Careless]

The really annoying thing is that he's not getting hit hard. 6 hits with what, two of them being legitimate?

[Careless]

lol

I think it already is...

[NotSoSober]

Russel, try to check your runners.

[Careless]

I hope he steals home

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wow, Im going to go back to my plan of ignoring the fact that this game is being played.

[MWV]

Just for laughs, I'd like to see Sanchez attempt to steal home. I'm confident he'd wind up safe.

[NotSoSober]

Who is the genius that thought it would be smart to start Russell? Quade fan club check in

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well, my gumbo was really good !!

[ctcf]

Well that was a pretty bad showing.

[Yeti]

this is just [expletive] brutal

Its not like they have been hitting him very hard at all.
