How does that even happen?

[Sammy Sofa]

Fuckin' Gameday is worthless; it acts like this is the 4th batter this inning.

[DiamondMind]

Cy Haren

[Irrelevant Dude]

It's like some people don't realize it's ok to still be really happy with the Cubs while also lamenting that it sucks to be stuck in the most difficult division in baseball by a wide margin.

 

It's fine but the constant complaining every time a team were competing against scores a run and it's only mid-August is a bit strange

I find it less annoying than the constant BABIP complaining.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 56-28 (.667) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 11-20 (.355) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Dude just somehow keeps on strandin'.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Nice bounce back by Haren!

[Andy]

Nice job to get around that. Rizzo is taking Sale deep.

[Fred Hornkohl]

white sox seeing 4.40 P/PA in the first inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I don't know. I hate when people throw the "lacks concentration" thing at Castro but considering I've pretty much never seen an error like that, it does make you wonder. I'll go with "new position" as an excuse this time I guess

[Schwarber Fan]

Let's at least make some contact this inning.

[DiamondMind]

I'd love to get ahead in this game early, I try to have the Sofa swag, but I'm scared of Sale.

[Banedon]

Bet that Phillies scout is all "We gotta have that Castro guy"

I struggle to blame that on a new position, it was just a softly tossed ball to him.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Normally it would have been scary that the innik would blow up after the worst error in MLB this season.

 

But then you realize Haren is on the mound and it's like "we got this."

I think Castro has ADHD. Not even kidding.

[Sammy Sofa]

Good God, it hurts to watch Sale pitch. There's no way his career is going to last long.

[Gilby]

Your defense must be a special kind of bad for Chris Sale to have an ERA in the mid 3s.

[DiamondMind]

How is Sale's arm still attached to his body

[Andy]

Nice job to get around that. Rizzo is taking Sale deep.

Well, so much for that.

Plenty more chances.

 

Cubs will probably strike out at least a dozen times today and still win it.

[Guest]

No hit stuff early on, damn. Just filthy.

[Careless]

He's not a rookie, you know

[Fro]

Finally a decent at-bat
