5/22 Cubs (Wood) @ Astros (Happ), 7:05 on CSN

[neely crenshaw]

can we add the courtesy runner rule for the cubs? Man campana would be great as a full time pinch runner for our pitchers and catchers!

get out the sombrero

 

what a joke this team is

[Little Slide Rooter]

Golden sombrero baby! Woot!

Castro doing a Brett Jackson impersonation tonight.

[Old Style]

GD it, Castro & Soriano.

[mul21]

At least he's not taking it to the field with him. That diving stop in the hole and throw was amazing.

[Rizzo Smash]

Castro has been ass at the plate.

Astros catcher seems really happy to be a on a crappy team beating a crappy team in an especially meaningless May game

[Magnetic Curses]

this made my day better

They're 4 games under .500 and with 4 games of first.

 

I have no problem if they get a bit excited about a big strikeout in the 8th inning.

Brett Myers beats his wife

2012: the castration.

[Rizzo Smash]

Worst record in baseball!!!!!

[bcl412]

Nothing like an 8 game losing streak to kill some of the excitement that this team had building.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well that was fun. At least they didn't bother us with a fake rally. Man, this season is just the gift that keeps on giving. Reasons for me to start drinking heavily.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, it's OK; it was totally necessary to be terrible for some reason.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Brett Myers beats his wife

 

She'd probably stand a better chance of fighting back than the 2012 Cubs.

[Schwarber Fan]

there's gotta be some stupid team that will take Soriano

[dfnowak]

Im too lazy to look it up, but it seems like Castro is striking out at a higher rate this year. I always thought he was a high contact guy albeit a free swinger though. But, he really is chasing and missing those low and away pitches this year. Is he just in a slump or being influenced too much by Soriano?

 

My God, the Cubs are awful....one game away from being swept by the Stros. 8 games and counting....

I really hope the second half was a joke.

They're already swept, this was a two-gamer.

[Fast Freddie Bynum]

Any reason Wood didn't get the chance to finish the 6th other than the 97 pitches? Shame he gets the loss.

I'm just gonna fade into a daze for the rest of this season. I mean I knew it was coming but fraaaaak.
