Ha, thanks Fred. Thought this year would be lower.....ahhhh 2008.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Well this game certainly appeared promising enough until the last few innings. If only we'd chosen not to be punchless.

[salukifudd]

Ian is unlucky in the field and on the base path also.

The answer to our woes is clear. Stop trailing at the end of the 7th inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-7 when they get they get at least 10 hits .... 6-31 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[InconspicuousZ28]

That ball was CRUSHED.

[davell]

If Hendry had read that, it'd be his new offseason theme.

[salukifudd]

Value rising....trade trade trade.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Value rising....trade trade trade.

 

Knees still hobbled...still crazy expensive...still Alfonso Soriano...value not changing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS hit 4 HRs in a game.... Mon 28 May 2012 (4 HRs) in a 11-7 win over San Diego at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Value rising....trade trade trade.

 

Knees still hobbled...still crazy expensive...still Alfonso Soriano...value not changing.

 

Yeah, I know. Bad joke.

[Sosa21MVP]

Value rising....trade trade trade.

 

Knees still hobbled...still crazy expensive...still Alfonso Soriano...value not changing.

 

Eh, trade him to an AL team to be a DH and at least the exploded knees might matter less. Otherwise, yeah. Soriano hot streaks are still fun to watch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-1 when they get they get at least 12 hits .... 13-37 when they don't

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 1 BBs in a game.... Sat 19 May 2012 in a 7-4 loss to white sox at Wrigley

Last time the CUBS struck out 3 times in a game.... Tue 29 May 2012 (3 Ks) in a 5-3 win over San Diego at Wrigley

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have no stolen bases in their last 6 games

CUBS have 1 sac bunt in their last 10 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

It hasn't been just a Soriano hot streak. He's given steady production since the beginning of May, and I don't remember that type of thing from him since 2008. There are a lot of AL teams that should show interest assuming they don't have to take on much if any salary.

[davell]

Value rising....trade trade trade.

 

Knees still hobbled...still crazy expensive...still Alfonso Soriano...value not changing.

If we're actually willing to pay 90% of his contract, I could see an AL team giving us SOMETHING of value back.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-1 when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 4-37 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
