8/22 Braves (Perez) @ Cubs (Haren) 3:05, WLS

[Andy]

Wait, is he hurt? Eat some flippin' innings, you bum.

No, he just sucks.

 

We acquired a terrible pitcher because at least he'll eat some innings, and he can't even do that.

[UMFan83]

Ouch

[Sammy Sofa]

Well, [expletive], Haren could have done that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Did I mention that I really, really hate A J Pierzynski ?

[UMFan83]

Wait, is he hurt? Eat some flippin' innings, you bum.

No, he just sucks.

 

We acquired a terrible pitcher because at least he'll eat some innings, and he can't even do that.

 

Again if you are going to have your starter throw 5 innings might as well have Wada start

[Andy]

Why the [expletive] are we letting Pierzynski kick our ass again?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-34 (.292) when they allow 5 or more runs.... 55-17 (.764) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Goodness, stop giving up clutch hits, Cubs.

[UMFan83]

Pirates just tied up Giants

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 73-45 in the 5th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Lol 7-3

[Sammy Sofa]

I have zero doubt the Cubs win this game, but man, what a shitty deadline pickup for a competitive team.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I think Haren would've done better than this.

[Andy]

Today is a great day for the 2007 AL All-Star team

[UMFan83]

Still not sure the Cubs are out of this with how good the offense has been

[UMFan83]

I have zero doubt the Cubs win this game, but man, what a [expletive] deadline pickup for a competitive team.

 

Even with the troubling peripherals I didn't expect him to be this bad.

[Ski]

Sigh.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-17 (.393) when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 58-34 (.630) when they don't

CUBS are 3-15 (.167) when they allow 7 or more runs.... 66-36 (.647) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

I didn't necessarily expect it but you deserve what you get when you bring in an extreme fly ball pitcher, one who had been stupidly lucky to have his ERA where it is, to Wrigley.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Braves seeing 3.36 P/PA through 5 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Any chance we give Pierce Johnson a start when rosters expand or is there just no room on the 40 man to do something like that?

[Sammy Sofa]

Cubs going to get right back into it this inning.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Coghlan walk. Rizzo dong.

[Sammy Sofa]

Coghlan walk. Rizzo dong.

 

Sofa cheer.

[Gilby]

Any chance we give Pierce Johnson a start when rosters expand or is there just no room on the 40 man to do something like that?

 

He's not on it and I believe the 40 man is technically full, but there's always room. Plenty of DFA candidates if they want to call Johnson up.
