Oh, goodness. Probably going to score 10 runs, though.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm actually thinking Arroyo throws a no-no today.

[Guest]

Perfect first pass through.

[Careless]

If this weren't a baseball broadcasting booth, I'd assume what's going on in there involved drugs.

[Tracer Bullet]

Who in the F is Darnell McDonald?

[sneakypower]

poor Rizzo

[Schwarber Fan]

The Cubs sure know how to make a 1-0 deficit seem huge.

[sneakypower]

Who in the F is Darnell McDonald?

a former top-25 prospect! (a few spots behind Matt Clement)

During the Clinton administration?

[sneakypower]

and Castillo just ruined Hanigan's day there

[Careless]

They're just going to keep showing replays, huh

[sneakypower]

here's another replay of a guy getting smoked in the balls!

[Schwarber Fan]

McDonald played for many years here in Rochester, as Len and JD mentioned... So I remember him from that, but he also started for a significant part of a season with Boston not long ago... Kinda surprised by those that don't know who he is.

Kind of ridiculous to pretend to be surprised by people not knowing who McDonald is. He's a nobody.

[Andy]

Len and JD just said Arrieta will join the rotation and Villanueva is going back to the pen. Can't remember the last time the TV guys actually were the first source to make me aware of a Cubs' move.

[sneakypower]

why is Sveum convinced Rusin can't go beyond 6 IP / 90 pitches?

I guess. Played 117 games in 2010 with Boston though. Most people who followed baseball closely that year probably know who he is.

3 lineouts, what a stupid inning that was

That would be applicable to any lineup the Cubs put out there right now.

 

BECAUSE THEY STINK, GET IT.

[Castros trade value]

Shutout 4 times in the last 5 games at home. That's a neat trick

[Andy]

God, this team is a [expletive] train wreck

[Hairyducked Idiot]

So our breakout seasons are Kevin Gregg, Chris Rusin and Cody Ransom, but Samardzija, Rizzo and Castro are all some degrees of disappointing?

 

I hate baseball.
