After 40 consecutive starts.... he's earned a day off, no?

If Castro weren't such a lazy player being led by a bunch of even lazier players, the goal would be to earn a 41st consecutive start.

Even with tonight's day off, Starlin is on a pace to start 157 games this season. Lazy, indeed !!

Cal Ripken played every inning for like 7 consecutive years, setting the standard for all baseball players who aren't lazy like Castro and Aramis.

 

I bet Aramis came in and said 'mang, I dont feel like playing today, i didnt get enough sleep last night' and Castro said "ohh....yeah me too' and then they played rock paper scissors to see who would sit today, but ramirez got tired of it after 2 rounds so he said castro could just have the day off.

Pat Hughes is off tonight. This will be the 2nd game he's missed in a couple of weeks. I might be wrong, but for the life of me I can't ever remember him taking a day off before this season. Makes me wonder if something's up.

All of his offdays this season have been scheduled, at his own admission. I don't know if he's said whether tonight's is or not, but given that they've been scheduled, one figures that whatever's keeping him out of the booth here and there was planned in advance.

 

Could be of his daughters graduating high school and moving her into college, maybe?

[Schwarber Fan]

Byrd has no business hitting in a run producing spot in the lineup.

[UMFan83]

So I flip from the Bears game and see its bases loaded 1 out for the Cubs. I flip back to the Bears and 10 minutes later I flip back and its 1-0 Braves. Sounds about right

[UMFan83]

14 Cubs baserunners and 0 runs? Wow

 

Cubs have had at least 2 batters reach in 6 of their 8 offensive innings so far, and 0 runs to show for it.

 

Cubs are 1-10 with RISP tonight. Of course the 1 hit was a weak single that couldnt score the run.

[UMFan83]

Horrible AB for Pena as the tying run with 0 outs in the 9th. Venters just walked 2 batters in a row and was having a ton of difficulty throwing strikes. So Pena takes one strike and then starts swinging at garbage. He threw 4 pitches, 3 balls and one extremely borderline strike.

[UMFan83]

That's 16 base runners and 0 runs.

 

9 hits and 7 walks.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Damn base cloggers.
