C'mon LaRussa, be sporting about it. Put in Franklin and give us a shot at this game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-8 when they trail by 5 runs or more at the end of the 8th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Lets get swept again, just for fun.

Sanchez in (9th) to pitch for St. Louis

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castro struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto flied out to center field

[Illini Iceman]

I think Castro needs to do some work, this swinging at everything crap is going to hurt him long term. He seems to be swing and missing a lot more than he did early in the season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pena singled to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pena took second base on defensive indifference

[InconspicuousZ28]

A brilliant start to this weekend's series.
