8/6 Cubs (Jackson) at Phillies (Kendrick)

[Careless]

4 runs in the second and no game thread?

Our ability/luck in getting production out of scrap-heaps at 3b this year has been kind of fun.

[Sammy Sofa]

Mmmmmm, Rizzo.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I've been so absorbed in the Walking Dead I forgot baseball existed until like 15 minutes ago.

[Schwarber Fan]

Finally scoring runs and Jackson isn't sharp today... Sigh

[Andy]

4 runs in the second and no game thread?

After 0 runs in 18 innings while I was at Wrigley this weekend. Good times.

[Schwarber Fan]

Chances they're done scoring?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This team's ability to find losing combinations is legendary.

[Careless]

Little chance you were asking about the Phillies.

[Schwarber Fan]

Gotta love how they pretend they're gonna get out of it before giving up the bomb.

Get out of it? They'd given up two runs already and it was a solo homer.

It wasn't very good pretending.

I'm barely following it on gameday. Looked to me like Utley tripled to tie it at 5 and the next 2 guys grounded out before the homer but gameday either messed it up or I misread.

The next 2 guys did ground out, but Utley's triple drove in a run and the groundout scored Utley

[Sammy Sofa]

Love Len basically [expletive] all over Kaplan making Cutler's performance in practice his lead story.

[Schwarber Fan]

Fake rally down 4... Really, guys?

[InconspicuousZ28]

Epic fake rally.

[Andy]

C'mon, guys, we have to get the tying run to the plate before we can start talking about fake rallies.

 

Way to look that one in, Riz.

[Andy]

NOW we've got ourselves a fake rally.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Whoa.

[Andy]

HOLY [expletive]

[Andy]

Well, that's the best fake rally the Cubs have delivered in quite a while.

[SouthSideRyan]

"Fake rally" is worse than fecal league.

[coldsteel]

Heck with fecal league -- scoring 8 runs yet losing by only 1 has to be big for the CUBS... in the Secret Standings
