This is the point in a video-game season where I'd just see how many beanballs I could throw at a team before I got bored with it. Do it, Shark!

Yeah maybe he get get them to bleed so we can profit off their blood.

[weis21]

This has the feeling of a break out game where shark dominates and the offense "clicks". It sparks a winning streak. Cubs win 6 of 7. Close to .500 and suddenly the season is remarkably more interesting with Garza, Baker, and Fujikawa returning.

 

Or the cubs lose and continue to suck. That's always an option.

The CUBS have never lost to Cincinnati on Sat 04 May..........

We have Cody ransom batting second again today. With his career .308 OBP.

[Guest]

[Schwarber Fan]

Let's hope that gets Sori going.

[coldsteel]

Well, #1 we have a much worse team. #2 at least he has a career OPS of .800 vs LHP. And he's been crushing them lately.

We still have better options than Cody Ransom.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo's a special player.

 

But seriously, why do Choo's fly balls fall into the basket and not ours?

[Guest]

Soriano again!!

[Schwarber Fan]

NVM, Sori says screw the basket!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Trade him now.

[coldsteel]

Yeah Soriano 2HR!
