8/25 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Giants (Cain), 9:15, WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

OH HEAVEN FORFEND, NOT 101 PITCHES.

[ARCubsFan]

Why is Jake pitching??

 

The bullpen has been working its ass off lately and are likely to have to do so again with Hendricks and Haren.

 

Kind of a pick your poison thing; probably was hoping this would be a quick inning

They literally just had a day off yesterday

[treebird]

my mom just texted me "Russell would have got that" at 11:22pm on a school night, which is everyone's way of knowing the cubs are [expletive] back

Yeah, but you could probably finish it with Rosscup and Russell

Oh my goodness, a whole day.

 

It's not like Arrieta's season workload is the only one that counts. Joe was likely hoping he'd get out there with 110 pitches or so, which is hardly problematic.

Coghlan should just carry a boombox with him in right field that is constantly playing the Benny Hill music.

[BigSlick]

just re-watched video of Castros homer and by god that's probably the best contact he's had all season

 

just don't jeter Addison Russell

Here We go again, I guess it can never be easy with this team

[Fred Hornkohl]

Giants seeing 4.36 P/PA through 7 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Rob]

Nice pick, but a bit of a lackadaisical throw.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Triple watch is on!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 55-3 (.948) when they lead at the end of the 7th inning.... 17-48 (.262) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Rondon Fan again? I think I'm getting it now...

[badger1679666666]

Damn.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nearly had that triple. Still, seeing Starlin drive the ball with authority and going to the opposite field, in the air, is nice.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dang thought he had the cycle off the bat!!

[imb]

It feels like this team has never hit for the cycle

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 30-7 (.811) when they get they get at least 10 hits .... 42-44 (.488) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[badger1679666666]

Didn't know it was that long ago!

[Andy]

Todd Walker damn near had one back in 04. Needed a double in his last AB of a game in Houston and hit a home run about 4 feet over the wall instead
