7/2 Cubs (Samardzija) @ Braves (Hanson) 6:10 pm CDT, CSN

[Sammy Sofa]

I think it would be pretty cool if Starlin Castro would break out of his slump.

 

On the upside, during the last two weeks he has more walks than strikeouts and going in to tonight his OBP for the last week was .350. Growing pains?

 

Nice baserunning by LaHair.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Good eye, Darwin !!! =D>

[El Duderino]

Whoa.

[Sammy Sofa]

Hot damn!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Go Valbuena !!!

[bcl412]

Valbuena!

 

Seems like every time he hits the ball he hits it hard.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-15 (.583) when they score 4 runs or more.... 8-34 (.190) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

This Valbuena fellow is growing on me.

[Guest]

Would be nice to have a major leaguer up right now.

[sneakypower]

Valbuena runs funny

[El Duderino]

ugh, campana

[Guest]

Valbuena now OPSing .808. There are 3 qualified 3B with an OPS higher than .808.

[Guest]

Campana is embarrassing.

[bcl412]

Would be nice to have a major leaguer up right now.

That's crazy. I guess the bar isn't all that high for Vitters to be a productive MLBer.

[Guest]

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-1 (.667) when the opponents strike out at least 11 times.... 27-48 (.360) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-10 (.600) when their starter pitches 6-2/3 innings or more.... 14-39 (.264) when he doesn't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[rawaction]

Every time I see someone with double digit Ks, I think....."wow 11 Ks in 7 innings is pretty good, but got nothing on 1998 Kerry Wood"

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-3 (.889) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 5-45 (.100) when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Only a handful of pitchers in MLB history got anything on '98 Kerry Wood, eh?

[UMFan83]

From the "If it weren't for my bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all" department.......

 

I'll be stuck in the 'Burgh 18-20 July..... the CUBS are scheduled 23-25 July.

 

Can't win for losing.

 

I know how you feel. I was in Arizona last Wednesday - Saturday after the Cubs left town the Sunday before.

 

Oh well I'll be in Houston for the series in mid-September.
