5/31 Astros (Lyles) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05pm CDT, CSN TV

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barney doubled to left center field, Colvin scored

[Careless]

Barney trying to win me over.

[Ballgame64]

The kid comes through again with an extra base hit even. Ok Darwin, you made me look silly after an earlier negative post about you.

 

Big Z can get the win. Nice job by him tonight.

[SouthSideRyan]

Gotta correct you Fred, that goes as a sacrifice for Colvin, not a simple FC.

 

No sacrifice is credited when the play would have been made at third if it were not for the error.

 

They ruled the play wouldn't have been made.

[Careless]

I still don't understand how you can be a fat catcher

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castro struck out swinging

[Ballgame64]

Walking Pena to get to Ramirez. Come on Aramis make them pay.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pena walked (intentionally)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez doubled to down the left field line, Barney scored, Pena to third

[Guancous]

Even a shadow of Aramis is an RBI threat. Make them pay!

[Guancous]

Ballgame64, Bob Brenly and I all thought the sane thing at once.

Yeah, I see that GameDay has changed it, too.

[Illini Iceman]

This is pleasantly surprising.

CUBS are 19-1 when they lead at the end of the 8th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in (6th) to pitch, Hill in (8th) to catch, Colvin stays in at lf for the CUBS

[Ballgame64]

One single, five doubles and one triple for the Cubs hitters tonight. They are a very interesting offense, not necessarily good, but interesting.

 

No drama Carlos. Let's have a simple 1, 2, 3 9th inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wallace singled to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson doubled to down the right field line, Wallace to third

[Schwarber Fan]

oh for God's sake
