That was strike 3.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nate the great! Thanks for being a Cub for half a season and good luck after you're traded.

It would have to take a overpay to trade him, imo. He still has a year of team control, iirc. We still need to field a team next year and it's not like the minor leaugers will be ready to break through to fill his spot.

 

Yeah, that too; trading Hairston and now with it looking like Soriano being gone I'd be very surprised if they move Schierholtz.

 

I never understand why anyone would bring up Valbuena as being trade bait right now; despite the prospect parade they don't have anyone to replace him now and nobody to replace him at the beginning of next season. He's young, he's cheap and he's productive in a position of need; no need to move him yet.

Another bases loaded situation due to a bad call by the ump.

[Castros trade value]

Angel Hernandez is a piece of [expletive] ump!! We always have problems with this douche.

[Sammy Sofa]

For [expletive]'s sake, Barney.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-14 (.300) when they allow 5 walks or more.... 38-40 (.487) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[gscool89]

Getting really sick of Barney.

[Tracer Bullet]

can't tell if that hit the corner of the bag and died or what, but just brutal

[Guest]

so samardzija sucks now?

[Tracer Bullet]

shark just told angel off as he walked off the field. love it. you're done anyway.

[Castros trade value]

Great job by Shark considering all the bull dung that inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

There's a reason why 5 of the 6 umpires promoted to crew chief in the last 2 years had less seniority than Angel Hernandez.

[Cubswin11]

Getting really sick of Barney.

I've never like him, I hope he isn't the starting 2B next year

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice management by Samadzija to minimize a really shitty situation.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 22-29 (.431) when they commit one or more errors.... 22-25 (.468) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-24 (.500) when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 20-30 (.400) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Illini Iceman]

Not sure I like Sveum sending Shark back out for another inning when he already over 100 pitches.

[Guest]

Don't like Sveum leaving Shark in after 105 pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 12-12 (.500) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 32-42 (.432) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Careless]

Oh, shark's batting, but I'm sure Sveum wouldn't send him back out next inning. Really.

[d_money]

Sharks gonna throw 120 tonight

Samardzija has thrown 105 pitches or more in 10 of his 20 starts this season. I don't much like the idea of leaving him in, either.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-5 (.808) when they score 6 runs or more.... 23-49 (.319) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok, that's enough Dale. 118 pitches.
