It's his back, so now I'm a little concerned.

i mean, it's an 11 am game like 17 hrs after the game he missed for precautionary reasons so i'm not too worried. more just annoyed that we still don't get our sweet lineup.

Makes sense to wait another day.

as long as it's not his [expletive] spine, I'll get over it.

I was able to load it, but it's on WGN, so I actually turned on the tube.

 

Coghlan with a nice at bat to start the game...

[Guest]

I hope Castro hits a home run today and admires the [expletive] out of it.

Did you know the Cubs are 1-12-2 in their last 15 series against the Reds dating back to 2011? I want to win this one just because of that.

i heard len talk about our record against the reds the last 2 years and then looked it up. plus my in-laws are all Reds fans so that's what i hear about when I'm in Cincinnati.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Nothing to show for it, but some really good plate appearances this inning.

meh. that works too.

[Guest]

28 pitch first inning for the Cubs, even if it didn't result in much.

[Agony and Ivy]

It's hard to walk Billy Hamilton and I swear he's got a 20% BB rate against the Cubs.

[sneakypower]

i love bunting maybe your best hitter when Hamilton v. John Baker is an auto steal of 3rd anyway

[Guest]

soler time

[jersey cubs fan]

[CubInOK]

Soler is literally the greatest player of all time.

[Guest]

[weis21]

[expletive] stung the hell out of that thing.
