[Aaron_Kennelly]

Should have hit it softly, like the other guys, Ben.

[UMFan83]

Hardest hit ball of the inning = 2 outs haha

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 16-3 (.842) when they GIDP.... 17-11 (.607) when they don't

[Ski]

Well, that was dumb.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Well, that was dumb.

 

What?

[CubInOK]

Of course its Zobrist who GIDP.

[Sammy Sofa]

Zobrist sometimes just hits the ball a little TOO well.

Lackey's MLB mugshot on Gameday just makes it look like his mouth is all one gigantic tooth.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have scored first in the game, and in the first inning in 3 of their last 4 games. The other game....... Arrieta pitched.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Is MLB.TV ahead of the cable feed?

[Ski]

Also, a little bit of good news looking forward: Kershaw starts tonight against the Mets, and we'll miss him during the Dodgers series.

My latest theory is that it's weaponized dentures.

I got the At Bat alert that the Cubs scored well before the run scored on MLB TV; I don't think that's ever happened to me the past two seasons.

Or at least defensive ones to replace the originals getting punched the horsefeathers out of jaw.

The Cubs fear no pitcher.

[Gilby]

There are still a lot of things I hate about him, but I think I feel the most comfortable when Lackey's pitching. Arietta's obviously great, but has had some weird control issues at times. Lester's also been great, but there's always the chance of something hilariously embarrassing unfolding. Lackey just attacks the hitters, always goes deep into games, and he can throw over-hand to bases.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 31-11 in the 2nd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Miggy!

[bcl412]

Miggy!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 26-5 (.839) when they hit at least 1 HR.... 7-9 (.438) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Is that the first one actually OFF the video board in Right?

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, Montero's alive!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 32 31-11 in the 2nd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
