9/16 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Pirates (Burnett) 6:05 CDT, CSN

[Ski]

I'm so glad we gave up both runs on defensive blunders.

It wasn't a blunder.

Arrieta's lob toss and Baez's dropped line drive that would have been a double play.

jim joyce has some money on this game. now it's a ball again

[UMFan83]

man if Jake doesn't airmail that throw to Rizzo or the liner hit 2 inches more to the right

[weis21]

slow grounder. out at first. tying run scored. got man at third (go-ahead run) in a rundown and tagged him out. part of me is pissed. part of me is happy they got out with only the one run. all of me is conflicted.

 

I'll take it!

Ski, take notes. This is called optimism.

 

Oh, and the Cubs are a lock for the playoffs. As much as I'd also love to have the WC game at Wrigley (or, just maybe, the division), it's not a HUGE deal overall.

[Schwarber Fan]

Jim Joyce is clueless back there.

I would call the ball hit to Baez a blunder

Yeah, he was heading towards second to back up the steal and the ball was hit behind him. Because of that it was a tough play, but he should have had it.

where was that call last inning you incompetent fool

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored a 9th inning run...........

I wouldn't call the Baez play a blunder. Sure he could have made the play but it was a hard hit line drive

[UMFan83]

Again, I love that these guys who suck against RHP have to bat here because Schwarber and Coughlan are out of the game

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Austin Jackson, your one man fan club wants a dong.

[Guest]

why do you love such a terrible player so much

 

Why do you live in a giant anus with the other meatballs?

I really hope you're not delusional enough to think that thinking that starlin castro is bad is a meatball opinion

[kujay]

Lame.

[Sammy Sofa]

There's got to be a better way to utilize Schwarber and Coghlan.

[Schwarber Fan]

Aramis walkoff coming up.

[UMFan83]

12 pitch inning for Melancon...he will definitely throw another inning if this game is still going on as I'm assuming his spot isn't coming up soon

Not hitting them back to back would be a start.

[Guest]

I had to unplug my cable modem to move some stuff around and now it is taking forever to reconnect so I can't watch the game. This is annoying.

[Ski]

Really hope we end up pulling this one out.

 

We wouldn't be in this situation if our defense didn't fall apart and we knew how to make contact in key situations.

[Guest]

Aramis walkoff coming up.

It's gonna happen

[Irrelevant Dude]

Has Denorfia had a hit since May?

Just the way you do it.

Ah-doy.

If we were destined to lose this game and there was no way to avoid it, I would vote for that to be the way it happened
