I don't like the all right handed line-up against a lefty. If balance is important against a righty, it should be important against a lefty. Then again, the Cubs don't have left handed hitters who have shown they should play against a left handed pitcher.

Bull · July 23, 2011

I'm waiting for the day Fred stats post reads:

The Cubs are... bad.

Ballgame64 · July 23, 2011

It started bad, but nice recovery by Wells to get out of the first without allowing a run.

If you read the numbers carefully...... it does say that !! :wink:

Cubswin11 · July 23, 2011

GEO \:D/

Little Slide Rooter · July 23, 2011

Solid outing for Wells if nothing else.

Outshined_One · July 23, 2011

Woo Castro.

Pretty sure that pitch was about a quarter of an inch off the ground when he hit it.

Yeti · July 23, 2011

cubs still haven't won 3 in a row have they?

Tryptamine · July 23, 2011

Nice to see Geo hitting.

Outshined_One · July 23, 2011

Nice to see Geo hitting.

Fantastic stop by Johnson, but he should have eaten that.

Tryptamine · July 23, 2011

Uh oh, "That" Marmol has shown up today.

InconspicuousZ28 · July 23, 2011

Marmol in, 2 men on already with no outs and a 4 run lead.

Irrelevant Dude · July 23, 2011

Throw a damn fastball! When did Marmol become Michael Wuertz?

Cubswin11 · July 23, 2011

Here we go again. Jeeze Marmol is not right, right now.

Outshined_One · July 23, 2011

That's better.

Irrelevant Dude · July 23, 2011

That's better.

Not really. If a hanging slider right down the middle of the plate is better.

Outshined_One · July 23, 2011

That's better.
Not really. If a hanging slider right down the middle of the plate is better.

I'll take what I can get with this team.

July 23, 2011

Chance for the elusive three-game winning streak tomorrow.

NCCubFan · July 23, 2011

cubs still haven't won 3 in a row have they?

Not until tomorrow. If they can't do it against the putrid Astros they probably can't do it at all.

UMFan83 · July 23, 2011

This is the first series win for the Cubs in 10-11 series, correct?

Illini Iceman · July 23, 2011

It would be really nice if Wells could finish the season with a strong 2 months and show we can count on him to be a reliable 4th or 5th starter next season.

UMFan83 · July 23, 2011

This is the first series win for the Cubs in 10-11 series, correct?

Wow, just looked it up. Before this series, the Cubs were 1-13-1 in their last 15 series.

erik316wttn · July 24, 2011

This may be premature, but who was the last MLB team to go an entire season without winning 3 games in a row? It's probably like last year or something but I think it would be nice to know what we're chasing.
