I felt pretty bad about Lillibridge in the lineup, but then I saw 1B Betancourt in their 8 spot and felt a lot better.

[KaiserCesar]

Working around Braun early. Don't blame Wood there.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Seas and seas of open seats.

 

Don't mind pitching carefully to Braun there.

Looks like it's been raining, too.

 

Isn't Wood supposed to be insanely hard to steal on?

[OleMissCub]

Looks absolutely miserable out there

I imagine its a little different with runners on 1st and 2nd rather than just 1st base. Plus, even if he's quick to the plate, that ball was in the dirt.

[KaiserCesar]

Nice pitching by Wood to get out of it. Seems to have some solid control so far.

[Andy]

Castro is hitting the piss out of the ball over the last couple of games. Hope he gets some better results soon.

[Cubswin11]

I really seems like Castro is trying to see more pitches and hit to RF so far this year. I say this with only seeing about 2.5-3.5 games.

[Cubswin11]

Soriano hit the living [expletive] out of that ball

[KaiserCesar]

Good swings by Castro and Soriano plus the 4 pitch walk to Rizzo. Good signs

[bcl412]

Two hard hit balls right at people. About a week in and I'm about ready to go insane.

[bcl412]

Ugh, I'm not sure if I have faith that they'll score one tonight.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Benny Hill music.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Given that I hate the Brewers more than any team in the MLB, and given the fact that the Cubs are sucking hard core again tonight, I'm in a rage mode that I'm embarrassed to be in right now.

 

Screw everything.

[Cubswin11]

Wellington is [expletive] awful defensively

[KaiserCesar]

When the going gets tough, Wood k's the side.

[bcl412]

Benny Hill music.

 

I really hate that our catchers keep throwing behind runners.

[bcl412]

Come on!

[KaiserCesar]

Defensive clinic tonight.

[Andy]

LOL Cobs.

Terrible throw home by Castro. Segura should have been out by 5 feet.
