9/17 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Morton) 11:35 CDT, WGN/MLBN

I have a hard time believing that's not a season ender

I mean there's only 3 weeks left or so

[BigSlick]

Rizzo has been trash lately. This needs to stop soon.

I wouldn't say trash but he has been in a mini slump recently. Hope he can get out of it by playoff time.

[UMFan83]

Dear Pirates, if u feel a need to retaliate please throw at coghlan next time up and not one of our young dongsmen

Coghlan would be a big loss too. Let's start realizing how good of a year he's having

 

Yes, I don't want to see any Cub hurt but I'd like to not have 2 pitcher level hitters batting when Lester is starting if you catch my drift.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 3.20 P/PA through 1 inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Pointed this out in the Rizzo thread but he has an OPS around .700 with a BA around .190 over the last 30 games. Not absolutely terrible or anything but definitely an extended slump, his second such extended slump in the last 4 months, although the previous one was noticeably worse

[UMFan83]

So another 0-3 with RISP to start the game (error, DP, fly out)

[JonJayCutler]

Bases loaded no out for Bryzzo.

 

1 run. [expletive].

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Take LaStella as sacrifice, please.

[BigSlick]

We're having crummy sequencing luck the last couple weeks but we're still winning so :yahoo:

Oh, I completely agree. But if they retaliate to the point of injuring a guy I don't want it to be one of the young guys. Ie throwing at the hands. Also I forget LaStella is playing today. Do what u want to him, Pirates

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice defense, Rat Boy.

[UMFan83]

Cubs have scored in the 1st in 4 of the last 5 games. Are 1-2 in the first 3 games

[PrimeTime]

Well here we go

[PrimeTime]

If Hendricks leaves anything hanging its going to get destroyed

[JonJayCutler]

They could throw at Hendricks too...

[BigSlick]

I hate Pedro Alvarez. I really hate him, and I can't really enunciate why.

This already happens.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Nice job, Kyle.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 71-35 (.670) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 13-26 (.333) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[PrimeTime]

wow nice comeback

[JonJayCutler]

They could throw at Hendricks too...

 

I kiddin' Hendricks, I kiddin'.

I kiddin' Hendricks, I kiddin'.

Hendricks is our 3rd best starter right now, if he gets hurt you're throwing Hammel, who's been bad for 2 months now, into hypothetical NLDS starts. No thanks.

 

(I know, you're kidding. But Hendricks is more important than he might appear.)
