[Hairyducked Idiot]

Very sporting of us to give the Mets an out like that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rice in to pitch for New York

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Prediction: DeJesus BB, Castro bullet DP

[Crack Wilson]

Very sporting of us to give the Mets an out like that.

Don't know if you are kidding, but I MUCH prefer the hit and run rather than that all important FREE bunt out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 0 BBs in a game.... Thu 25 Apr 2013 in a 4-3 win at Miami

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Well that was disappointing.

[illiniguy]

What a terrible send.

[jersey cubs fan]

gotta love aggressive baserunning

[sneakypower]

DAVID BELL, WHAT THE [expletive]

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wendell Mothereffing Kim get rehired?

[Crack Wilson]

WTH??? He was out by 10 feet!!!!

[jersey cubs fan]

disgusting

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeJesus singled to right field, Barney out at home, 9-2, DeJesus to second

[Guest]

Barney is not fast.

 

Also, when did Marlon Byrd get an arm like that

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Barney is not fast.

 

Also, when did Marlon Byrd get an arm like that

 

Did Barney have to hold up a bit to make sure it wasn't caught on the line?

 

It could have been a terrible throw and he'd have still been out.

[Cubswin11]

Whoever our 3B coach is should, at minimum, be suspended for the rest of this series, if not fired, for that send there.
