4/4 Cubs (Wood) @ Pittsburgh (McDonald) 11:35 AM CT WGN/720

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why would you even think that pitch to DeJesus was a strike?

Didn't hav'ta be!

[apete6]

Forgot it was a day game today.

 

Looks like I didn't miss a ton.

 

Why do they schedule 10:35am (Pittsburgh time) games on a weekday?

 

Well that was just awesome.

James McDonald is a Cy Young candidate this year right?

Travis Wood is a Cy Young candidate this year right?

[Banedon]

I'd really like Rizzo to quit being bad.

[sneakypower]

why pull Wood with 85 pitches?

[Sammy Sofa]

Eh, McCutchen looks horrible, too. It won't last.

My guess it's a combination of keeping Wood's confidence high and not wanting him to face the heart of the order/McCutchen at an elevated pitch count

valbueana is awful

[Jake]

You're beating yourselves.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

If Valbuena's going to play defense like that, might as well call up Vitters.

That play was annoying, but it's kinda incredible how absolutely horrible he looks at the plate.

[Sammy Sofa]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU.

[apete6]

Valbuena and Lillibridge can go ahead and die already.

 

Seriously, though, how can Vitters and anyone else be any worse.

[MWV]

Lillibridge [expletive] blows.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Barney is becoming a better player by the minute.

[Fro]

Bad Valbuena should be called Valmala

[Sammy Sofa]

Meatballs everywhere just creamed their pants.

The game thread is no place to be reasonable.

[Cubswin11]

Is Vitters healthy yet from his ST injury? If he is I hope he is up within the month

[Omar]

At the office so following the game on MLB Gameday. What did Valbuena do exactly?

[Guest]

Russell over Takahashi indicates a bit more confidence in Marmol with a one run lead than I'd like. Unless they have Russell go through the 8th too.

A mere mortal or left-handed Jesus? The choice is clear.
