The bad weather has knocked out my satellite, so I have been granted a reprieve from bad Cubs baseball.

[Tryptamine]

Well the bottom of the second lasted about 2 and a half minutes.

[woodchip2153]

Russell being too efficient if we want the rain out.

[Guancous]

The Cubs are swinging like they're the ones with the lead. They had Gee on the ropes after a long inning. Now they're swinging at every 1st pitching.

 

This would be frustrating if there were any expectations left.

[BCVM22]

Holy Shatner, what a catch by Barney.

On the bright side, the game will be called before 9 innings

[Hawk4Hall]

Coleman is a total but.

Why is Quade going nuts over them putting the tarp on the field?

[Mark Priors Calves]

Quade is blowing a gasket about this rain delay.

[SouthSideRyan]

Why is Quade going nuts over them putting the tarp on the field?

 

Cause he knows it won't be coming off.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Game over. Thanks for that one Casey.

But it's still just one game and it wasn't like the Cubs were threatening to take the lead or took the lead that inning and had the runs taken off the board because the rain came. Shortened games happen and it seems excessive to go crazy because of it.

Casey got lit up hard, but don't let Ball Twelve off the hook.

Its probably just an intense rage thats been boiling inside him for the past 2 months and its finally coming out on an umpire because he delayed a game during a downpour when Scott Maine probably would have given up another 5 runs anyway.

Since at least '50, only one pitcher has appeared in a game — Kansas City's Miguel Asencio — and made more pitches than Berg without throwing any strikes. Making his major league debut, Asencio walked all four batters he faced, using the minimum 16 pitches, against the White Sox in 2002.

 

Berg equaled White Sox right-hander Sean Lowe, who walked three on 12 pitches against the Indians in 2001. He also equaled Florida's Sergio Mitre(notes), who missed the strike zone on 12 pitches in a 2006 game against the Nationals. However, Mitre walked two and hit a batter, so it's up to you whether you think his performance was wilder.

 

ALMOST ONLY THE COBS
