[mul21]

Please win the series so I don't have to listen to rampant douchebaggery all weekend.

 

That is all.

DeJesus cleanup - jeez!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have scored first in 2 of their last 11 games (2-9).

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Did Len just say "hitterish?"

[Andy]

So that's 3 fairly well-hit balls that Lynn has stopped now, right?

I vaguely remember when this team was fun to watch.

Rusin continuing to be effective in the least encouraging ways possible.

Don't see much of a future as a starter but I think he is showing he could be an effective long man / second lefty out of the bullpen for next year.

MLB umpires truly are incompetent.

[Schwarber Fan]

That is unbelievable.

The Cardinal lefties having 3 of their 7 hits with 2 doubles is part of what I meant.

CUBS are 41-27 (.603) when they get a quality start.... 9-37 (.196) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Rusin continuing to be effective in the least encouraging ways possible.

 

5 Ks in 26 batters faced is at least a tiny bit encouraging.

 

I'm really beginning to think I've been underrating him and he deserves a slightly inside-ish track on a job next year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-6 (.571) when they are tied at the end of the 6th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 39-19 (.672) when they score first in the game.... 11-45 (.196) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Illini Iceman]

Our runners seem to have a bad habit of looking back at the outfield while running from third to home. Didn't they learn in little league not to do that?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 23-14 (.622) when they get hit by a pitch..... 27-50 (.351) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS were held to 3 hits in a game.... Wed 12 Jun 2013 in a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Great ABs all night by Lake.
