Jason Berken is into the history books with a 4 K inning!

Who the hell is Jason Berken?

Who the hell is Jason Berken?

 

The answer to an Aflac (or whatever the sponsor is) trivia question in 5 years.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Okay, I'm sold on Valbuena. Give him 3b next year and use the savings on CF and so much pitching.

[bcl412]

A grand slam in an inning where he struck out 4 would be cool.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wocka-wocka.

Rock Shoulders, IMO.

 

Though Al Albuquerque and Mario Mercedes were cool, too.

Let's hope the doctor was thinking the same thing.

Michael Madsen sorta scared me during that interview. Always forget Virginia is his sister.

It's in the job description for being Michael Madsen.

Dusty with the forfeit lineup.

 

And we still can't win.

 

Castro 2-3 with a 3B. Rizzo 2-4 with a 2B. Rockies gunning for our 2nd overall pick. Color me satisfied as long as the Cubs can avoid a non-fake rally.

[Guest]

I hope we can get Wellington a better number now that he's almost certainly gonna be our full time starter next year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored 4 runs in the 9th inning.............. Monday 21 May 2012 in an 8-4 loss at Houston.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-12 (.613) when they get they get at least 11 hits .... 39-79 (.331) when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

100 losses is looking a lot more likely after losing the last 4 games. Cubs now need to go 5-8 or better to avoid 100 losses.
