Dave Sappelt ... lead off man

[bukie]

The Cubs' hitting has been just miserable against the Pirates this season.

[bukie]

That marks the Cubs' first first-inning hit against the Pirates since Rizzo's HR on opening day. This is the 10th game against them. Edited July 5, 2013 by bukie

Soriano and Castro struck out on nearly-identical pitches in the dirt. Jedi and apprentice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The CUBS have never scored a run against Pittsburgh on Fri 05 July !!

I'd say Wood and nobody else.

A pitcher with a 5-6 record making the All-Star team ??? That's inpossible !! :wink:

[Elwood]

Yay platoons!

[Sammy Sofa]

Bueno.

I can't imagine the Cubs get more than 1, and like David said, Wood is clearly the most deserving (peripherals or not).

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 29-27 (.518) when they hit at least 1 HR.... 7-20 (.259) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Samardzija should be the guy, but Wood will probably get it.
