8/16 Cubs (Haren) @ white sox (Sale) - 1:10 PM WGN/CSN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Castro caught the ball AND applied tag.

 

That's what you call progress.

[Soul]

Haha awesome Sale get his call and Wood doesn't get that.

[Schwarber Fan]

2-1 Pirates in the 7th

 

Mets are going to go the entire season without win against the Cubs or Pirates.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.42 P/PA through 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Careless]

2-1 Pirates in the 7th

 

Mets are going to go the entire season without win against the Cubs or Pirates.

2-4 against the Cardinals, too. 4 wins against the Dodgers. 6-20 against probable NL playoff teams

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miami in front of the Cardinals 5-4 in the 6th

[treebird]

robin ventura was only a 2-time all star? that seems crazy low. i guess i just remember him more than i ought to since he played in chicago.

Yep, Starlin Castro has more career ASG appearances than Robin Ventura.

And because he made headlines by getting pummeled by Nolan Ryan

2-1 Pirates in the 7th

 

Mets are going to go the entire season without win against the Cubs or Pirates.

2-4 against the Cardinals, too. 4 wins against the Dodgers. 6-20 against probable NL playoff teams

The only problem being that this is the last game the Mets will play against a probable NL playoff team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-16 (.467) when the opposing starter pitches 7 innings or more.... 53-32 (.624) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[BigSlick]

*checks the box score*

 

15 strike outs? Hot Damn

 

This was always gonna be a very hard game to win, I guess credit to Haren for keeping it close

[Sammy Sofa]

Dump that ump.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Over the last 16 games the CUBS have outscored the opponents 19-12 in the final three innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, did Hunter just hit 100?

[Careless]

Only problem for what? And how could this be the last time, when they'll presumably be playing the Dodgers in October?

haren gave up 3 home runs in 4.2 innings; i wouldn't give him too much credit.

[Careless]

Great pitch to walk a guy with *sigh*

[halplm]

it's maddeningly inconsistent

Meh; 3 solo shots. Rather have that than giving up a ton of hits and walks to specifically give up those 3 runs.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pirates up 5-1 in the 7th, Miami up 6-4 in the 6th.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[treebird]

tommy hunter inspires zero confidence. i wish we had traded for a good player at the deadline.

[BigSlick]

if the Cubs pull this out in the last 2 innings they are definitely Team of Destiny level clutchness

 

I wont be mad if they can't though, it's whatever

[Fred Hornkohl]

.... but who's gonna drive the dongmobile ??

[BigSlick]

Avisail Garcia in this series has actually looked like a major league player, as opposed to most of the rest of the season
