4/5 - Phillies (Lee) @ Cubs (Samardzija) 1:20 CSN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Starlin 3-4 off Cliff Lee. At least there's one thing to be happy about.

 

I thought he looked pretty turdly outside of his first hit.

What was wrong with the 3rd hit?

you get no extra points for looking good…3 hits=3 hits. It all evens out when 3 line drives are right at someone

 

but I know we are looking for signs of a turnaround.

Nothing wrong with it. Just his ability to make decent contact on meh pitches from lefties isn't going to make or break his resurgence.

[neely crenshaw]

I am not sure how we do this but

(1st)Bonifacio is 2-4, (2nd)Castro 3-4 and (4th)Rizzo is 2-3 in 7 innings, and we still haven't scored a run.

What in the hell is up with the LF ivy

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Rizzo, on the other hand, looked pretty good today against lefties.

[mul21]

Man, this ump's zone is wiiiiiiide on the outside edge to a righty.

[neely crenshaw]

I just love that Lake shows the ability to bunt...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was my favorite walk bat-flip ever.

[rawaction]

Unluckiest franchise in the history of sports. Its not like they are completely not hitting.0

Ricketts said yesterday they replaced the bricks in that portion of the wall and the ivy is new.

[Guest]

What's the record for shut outs? I'm just sick of this [expletive] .

[neely crenshaw]

At least spent money for something new on the major league field...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Allow me to be the first to break out the Reverse Standings, in the hope that this becomes what we call them and not the other stupid name.

 

Arizona 1-6

Cubs 1-4 (assuming we don't come back in ninth)

Cincinnati 1-4

San Diego 1-3

LA Angels 1-3

Also I'm at an Autism benefit and I'm way fucked up for the early afternoon.

[gscool89]

I'm really liking Justin Grimm in the bullpen.

I think it may come down to SD and the Cubs. However, I would not be surprised to the Sox and Twins in the running. The only thing helping them is they play each other a lot.

Arizona,LA and Cincy will be better.

[neely crenshaw]

Good news is the Papelbon is worthy of the Cubs bullpen so far this year!

[neely crenshaw]

bringing that 89mph heat...

[neely crenshaw]

I forgot we're hitting, maybe Nate.

[SpongeWorthy]

Sub 2 hour game?

[neely crenshaw]

no so much…3 hits for emilio?
