6/19 Yankees (Sabathia) @ Cubs (Wells) 7:05 CT ESPN

[InconspicuousZ28]

Here we go....not only have the Cobs given up the 3 run lead, they're going to give up the go-ahead run(s) right now.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Cubs are throwing Carpenter right into the fire. I have not seen enough command to expect him to get out of a situation like this.

[Chisoxillini]

Sabbathia has been incredibly lucky tonight. There have been near a half dozen balls absolutely drilled that didn't get down.

 

BABIP has definitely been on his side tonight

[Ballgame64]

CC at 85 pitches at the beginning of the 7th and 90 after the 7th. Top of the order produces a 5 pitch inning. I don't care what anyone says, that is an amazingly stupid team.

They got really good pitches to hit and made good contact and the Yankees had some sharp defense to counter. Do you want them not to swing at pitches they can put good wood on?

welp

"here's why Wood isn't in... Here's why Shark isn't in... so here's why Carpenter is in... 3 run homer"

[InconspicuousZ28]

'Night fellas.

[Tryptamine]

..and that will about do it.

[haubrich91]

I now see why Carpenter was converted into a reliever. No command at all. Cubs lose.

[Sammy Sofa]

That 2-0 pitch was the kind of dream pitch that hitters mess themselves over in their sleep.

Welcome to the bigs, kid.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm feeling increasingly pessimistic about our world series chances

[Chisoxillini]

Robertson's making things interesting.

John Kruk said we aren't going to win this year cause we can't catch the ball and we can't pitch.

[Sammy Sofa]

Crud.

[Tryptamine]

Russell is really good.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Welp... September Lineup:

 

Jackson CF

Castro SS

Soriano LF

LaHair 1B

Flaherty 3B

Byrd RF

Soto C

LeMahieu/Barney 2B

[Irrelevant Dude]

Spectacular defense on display once again.

[Tryptamine]

....this is funny. Two mile high fly balls fall in play while players just watch them fall.

[haubrich91]

Here's the 2011 Cubs we know.

Johnson and Baker hit the ball to the opposite field. I don't consider that a good thing by two bench players.

 

Plus the team is notoriously an impatient team. Tell me again how this works for them year in and year out.

 

Quade makes another bonehead move having DeWitt pinch hit instead of Fukudome. Then he moves Baker to right. Baker promptly shows he has no business playing the outfield. A bad team with an idiot manager is a recipe for disaster.

[Hawk4Hall]

Soriano playing with purpose. Way to earn that paycheck.

 

I hate this freaking team.

[Little Slide Rooter]

meh. Just try to at least split the 6 games vs. the White Sox.
