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

[Fred Hornkohl]

Downs, pinch hitting for Cancel, doubled to down the left field line, Keppinger & Wallace scored

[Careless]

oh, FFS, I leave for a few minutes and this happens

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sanchez, pinch hitting for Rodriguez, sacrificed, 1-4, Downs to third

[Schwarber Fan]

well, if they can't win this game, they're pretty much hopeless

[bcl412]

Ugh.....we suck.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bourn singled to left center field, Downs scored

[javy knows my name]

lol

[Ballgame64]

You throw 95 mph and you work the outside corner against Michael Bourne instead of going inside. WTF are they thinking?

[XZero771679666304]

well, if they can't win this game, they're pretty much hopeless

 

 

I think that was determined before tonight. This is just ridiculous. Four hits in five batters off Marmol, by the Astros? This is just wrong.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bourn stole second base

[Illini Iceman]

This is unpleasantly surprising.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barmes walked

[Guest]

Barmes walked

 

If ESPN's gamecast is any indicator, he apparently walked on Strike 5.

[Schwarber Fan]

Campana, Hill, Montanez/LaMaheiu due up, LOL

[Careless]

that was unsurprising

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pence homered to left field, Bourn & Barmes scored

[Schwarber Fan]

probably hurt

[hawkeyecub]

Are you [expletive] kidding me Carlos?

[bcl412]

I just want the off season to start honestly.

[Irrelevant Dude]

When save opportunities are so hard to come by, it really sucks to have your closer implode. This is just a bad, bad team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marshall in (6th) to pitch for the CUBS

[XZero771679666304]

probably hurt

 

That would figure. Not too many explanations for Carlos getting knocked around by these jokers.

[Ballgame64]

Meanwhile, in St. Louis a no name pitcher who started in the minors, mows down the Giants in the 9th for a Cardinals win.

 

Now a 3 run homer.

 

I have no real thought this team can turn it around, but if they hope to someone needs to lose their job tonight. Something has to be done shake up the team. Again, the players have to perform but like last May when there was no reason to keep Lou, there is absolutely no reason to allow Quade to manage another game.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Bwuahahahaha. Cobs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 6 runs in an inning.... Mon 16 May 2011 (7 runs in the 6th inning) in a 7-4 loss at Cincinnati

 

 

Go CUBS !!
