8/11 Brewers (Jungmann) @ Cubs (Haren) - 7:05 PM CT CSN

[Guest]

It doesn't matter at all but Montero booking it towards the plate makes my scrappy heart smile

[Careless]

Well now Schwarber can't hit a grand slam, you jerk

[CincyCubsFan]

We are good

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-8 (.619) when they hit at least 1 sac fly.... 49-40 (.551) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[DiamondMind]

I like the way you work it

 

no diggity

[Careless]

No pitcher will ever make the 6th inning again against us

[Sammy Sofa]

This is the most Cardinals inning by the Cubs in a long time.

 

The student has become the master.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS haven't scored 6 runs in one inning since..........

I'm just saying.

[DiamondMind]

Right on the edge of blowing that game up. I love the pressure we're putting on pitchers lately.

[Fred Hornkohl]

We are an offensive juggernaut !!

[BigSlick]

After the comedy of errors that was bunting by pitchers in the last series, it's nice to see some unforeseen positive Buntz here.

 

3 might be enough against this lineup, even with Cy Haren, Greek God of Stranded Baserunners

Go CUBS !!

[PrimeTime]

Theos plan of building a juggernaut lineup is beautiful. I just wish for a Baez who comes back and destroys added to this lineup

[DiamondMind]

KB with some great D this game

[DiamondMind]

Cy Haren

[Gilby]

As unexcited as I was over the trade, Haren with the wind blowing in (or just pitching in the 2015 version of Wrigley in general, honestly) is a really good matchup for the Cubs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

There goes the no hitter. [sigh]

[DiamondMind]

Damn, there goes the no no

[Fred Hornkohl]

GMTA

[DiamondMind]

Nice job Haren

[Gilby]

Dan, didn't you hear, Wrigley is a pitcher's park now, get them to hit fly balls.

[UMFan83]

Joniak and Coomer might be the worst baseball announcing duo ever. Neither has any emotion in their voices when anything happens which is weird because Joniak has more than enough emotion calling Bears games

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 40-19 (.678) when they hit at least 1 HR.... 22-29 (.431) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 65-31 in the 3rd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

I don't like the impression I get from reporters that they're surprised that Starlin is handling this move OK and isn't pissing and moaning all of the time, or it's just a matter of time before he does so. Edited August 12, 2015 by Gilby
