TruffleShuffle seems to be lost in the outback somewhere. We'll try to hold his spot for one more day.

 

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Plz be in the lineup, Soler.

[rawaction]

Latos is one of those pitchers that I really hate to see beat the Cubs. He's a complete toolbag and deserves to lose badly.

lol, Maddon can't let us bask in the glory, gotta get Rizzo a day off. That said, he could probably use it. I assume Szczur was sent down.

I think one of the last times Rizzo sat and wasn't do to injury Baez had the 2 HR game in Colorado. So someone can repeat that.

Ross went to the DL

 

Ross went to the DL got Teagarden called up. Szczur is probably the corresponding move for Soler.

Hard to be that upset about no Tinyface when Soler is back

[Guest]

Soler hit a home run in his first big league PA. It was against Latos.

 

Bryant hit a HR off Latos at AA last season while Latos was rehabbing. To raw's point of Latos being a douchenozzle, Latos then hit Bryant the next time up

[DiamondMind]

Im not mentally prepared for the Cardinals again already. Please win this game 19-2. That would help.

Nah I'm still upset

[downsr30]

I believe Coghlan, Soler (home run) and Castro have decent numbers against Latos.. Echevarria and Ozuna strong numbers against Hendricks..

He'll get a late inning PH AB and hit a dong, don't worry.

[downsr30]

Latos and Aaron Harang are the same people to me. Big goofy looking millionaire turds.

I hope the Cubs can run into a couple dongs today because the offense still looks shaky at best and that Kyle has his best changeup today for Gordon/Yelich/Bour.

[DiamondMind]

I just want to hear Taylor Swift once a day and no Rizzo AB's make that harder

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 36-23 (.610) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 7-13 (.350) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-18 (.526) when the opponent GIDPs at least once.... 23-18 (.561) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[PrimeTime]

I'd like a Miggy Dong right here

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-14 (.588) when they steal a base.... 23-22 (.511) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Always swings at that [expletive] in the dirt
