Stop smiling about it, DeJesus.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burke in to pitch for New York

[Crack Wilson]

Well, at least DeJesus took 2nd on the play, but I hate this. :banghead:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Maybe DeJesus can get picked off and we can complete the "Mets bullpen doesn't need to get outs for themselves" trifecta.

Fujikawa in to pitch for the CUBS

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If nothing changes in the ninth, the Cubs will have a +2 run differential and a .409 win% at Wrigley.

[Little Slide Rooter]

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

 

Wendell Kim?

[Crack Wilson]

Well, I'm on the verge of losing my 1st bet of the year on the Cubs. The landlord made me an offer I could not refuse: 4 to 1 for 1/2 the month's rent. I will be sick. Just sick to lose like this.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Buck struck out swinging

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cobs

[illiniguy]

How do they assign that error?

[treebird]

we look really horrifyingly incompetent again

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ankiel struck out swinging , 2-3

Yep. It's pretty bad when Rick Ankiel figures in big against you. I'm still baffled at him not being shaded WAY to right. He's such a puller that a shift of 7 guys would be smart!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Parnell in to pitch for New York

[Epsteenie]

Fujikawa since coming off the DL - 4 IP, 6 K, 0 BB, 1 H.

[Crack Wilson]

Ankiel struck out swinging , 2-3

That's what he does best. Is NY so bad that they make a guy DFA by the ASTROS their every day CFer?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rizzo flied out to right center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded out to third, 5-3
