[Gilby]

Rizzo has a .798 OPS after that BB. That is something to root for, I suppose.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Two consecutive games on WGN?! Noooo [expletive] way

 

Actually, this will be the 11th time so far this season that we've had back to back games on WGN. One time we had 3 in a row.

[CincyCubsFan]

This Castro batting 5th [expletive] is for the birds.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 3 hits in a game.... Tue 28 Aug 2012 in a 4-1 loss to Milwaukee at Wrigley

Oh yeah? Well it happened 0 times while I was home and able to watch both games. Take that, Fred!

Sometimes life just sucks, eh?

 

Besides of which...... who even pays attention to whether you're home or not ???

Holy crap! Soriano is having a heck of a year.

 

I see some people reference Soriano's 'rapid decline' now and again and I think it's pretty overblown. He had the terrible '09 season, but hasn't shown anything but a steady decline since 2010 while improving in a lot of the mental aspects of the game.

[CincyCubsFan]

This two run lead is too much. Let's get corpas into the game.
