08/18 St Louis (Wainright) @ CUBS (Jackson) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

[Schwarber Fan]

Yeah, that sure would be horrible. Man! Jeez!

 

Remember though, it will only happen because it is 6-1. And it didn't happen anyway.

Not that it matters, but that was an impressive display of simply refusing to take a walk.

[illiniguy]

Barney, you can take another [expletive] pitch any time now.

I'm very much looking forward to a cub team that doesn't play him 150 times a year.

Yes, I understand there are weirdos here who think "fake rallies" are some of the worst possible things that can happen to them when watching a Cubs game. They are weird.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah, it's saying something that with a team this bad in a game this bad that it was THAT PA that was annoying me the most. That tiny man is quite frustrating.

You don't see how it makes games even more frustrating to watch?

[Sammy Sofa]

Not really, no. The Cubs scoring a couple runs there or loading the bases or even just doing what they did at least provided me with a fleeting glimpse of entertainment as opposed to if they just went down 1-2-3. I mean, if you're in such a hurry to have the game be over why are you still watching?

[Guest]

I hope the Lake in CF experience is over after today.

He's had about 40-50 career games in the OF. You may want to be a little more patient before writing him off out there.

I don't mind him in LF or even RF, just not CF.

the fake rally is often the only point in the game where the cubs' offense does anything at all. if anything, it's the one highlight of most games.

Pretty much.
