08/07 Cincinnati (Arroyo) @ CUBS (Wells) 1:20 CDT, CSN TV

[Schwarber Fan]

But that Ramirez drive can't fall into the basket?

 

Ugh

[Sammy Sofa]

Fuckin' Wells. Ruining my day. Does Quade have anyone up in the bullpen?

[Sammy Sofa]

Blake DeWitt knocks one out to RF for a 2-run shot and nothing? Anyone? Anyone?

 

Jerks.

[CubmanPi]

Been cleaning and chasing toddlers while watching Wells do his best to ruin this streak. How did he go from his solid rookie year to being so predictably useless?

 

And why won't Blake DeWitt just let me loathe his existence in peace?

[CubmanPi]

Also, how the f does quade justify letting wells pitch into the 7th? I'd rather see Lopez or Ortiz by now.

Presumably because the pitcher's spot is slated to lead off the bottom of the 7th and he didn't want to burn a bullpen pitcher in case the game goes to extras.

[CubmanPi]

Reminds me of Lou saving Z for game 4. There's nobody hitting 5 thru 8 who can be double-switched out (coughcampana)? It worked out, so no harm I guess. Maybe Quade's just a genius and I should be quiet.

I'm not saying I agree with the decision; just pointing out what the motivation was.

 

CASTRO WILL NOT BE DENIED.

[CubmanPi]

nm, campana's top of the order. I guess dbl switch wasn't the best option unless you pull the guy who just homered.

[Sammy Sofa]

Aramis is about to make magic here.

[CubmanPi]

Cubs win 8-5. Sorry to ruin it for everyone.

 

I'm call it a bit closer and say they win 7-6.

An Aram gapper and a couple innings of good bullpen away...

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, Tony.

I CAN FEEL IT IN MAH BONES.

[OleMissCub]

Tony is a baller

[utkcub]

thats what speed brings to the table.. great slide

[CubmanPi]

Awesome. Probably the best (grittiest) DP breakup slide I've ever seen. Make it count, Carlos.

[Sammy Sofa]

Fuckin' Moreland calling that: "OUTSIDE...corner, strike 3."

 

Bastard.

[Schwarber Fan]

screw the ivy!

 

and yes, I'm an idiot about the Byrd thing

[CubmanPi]

BS. That rule has to change. Ramirez scores easily on that play.

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn bouncey-bounce out there.

 

MY PROPHECY WILL COME TRUE.

[NotSoSober]

Damn ivy! Why would you walk DeWitt to face Soto?

[Schwarber Fan]

SWEET JUSTICE

 

this doesn't happen to the cursed Cubs we know... playoffs here we come!

[CubmanPi]

I love how religious Dusty is with Dustyball and playing the matchups.

[Sammy Sofa]

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU THAT WE DON'T STOP.

[CubmanPi]

I hope the bullpen holds this win down for Randy Wells, and that it doesn't make Garza's head explode.
