7/4 Reds (Reed) vs. Cubs (Hendricks) 1:20 PM CDT, WGN

[cubscott34]

We all know the Cubs have numerous players on the DL and now it seems NSB has placed it's one and only true stat man and leader in the clubhouse, Fred, on the 15 day DL as the game thread starter thread is sadly behind and he's nowhere to be found. Philosophizer75 is supposed to be up from what I can see but he may be on the DL as well as he hasn't started either of the last two games. Alas, as the next one on the list I shall step in and begin the winning streak that takes us through the break.

 

For those doomsayers you need to know that this team is still quite good, they're still going to win the division, and they're still going to the playoffs... but dammit, I think I speak for all of us when I say it's time to win some horsefeathering ballgames!!!

 

Cubs get fat off Reds pitching with long dongs all around and Hendricks throws a Maddox as the Cubs win 7-0.

 

Go Cubs!!!!

We should really look into scheduling the Reds more often.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Reds win this series, I give up pro baseball for good

Changed my avatar for the first time in 10 years. 20 game winning streak to follow. :stickman:

Contender for worst lineup of the year

[Sammy Sofa]

That lineup is pretty great, actually.

Contender for worst lineup of the year

Rizzo: oldest player.

[Tim]

Also...Javy is a bit of an unexpected choice for leadoff.

[raw]

Heyward moved down is good enough for me. Hope it's not just cause of the LHP.

Baez on batting leadoff (laughing): "I'm gonna swing at the first pitch. I hope it's in the zone."

 

 

 

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Cubs win 5-4 on a Candelario walk off homer, turning the season back around.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

That's amazing.

[soccer10k]

LOL. Cubs have hit 24 home runs against the Reds this year while the Reds have only scored 32 runs.

[Tim]

Nice play going out into CF by Baez.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Nice play going out into CF by Baez.

 

Could Almora have caught that? I couldn't tell.

[d_money]

That was strike 3 on Votto.

[Tim]

Nice play going out into CF by Baez.

 

Could Almora have caught that? I couldn't tell.

probably, but it wouldn't have been an easy play for him, either.

[Schwarber Fan]

Votto gets a smaller strike zone than any player I've seen in years.

[Tim]

Fairly clean inning for Hendricks. Other than a question at third, this is one hell of a defensive team today.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

All talk, Javy.

[Sammy Sofa]

HE DIDN'T SWING.

[Sammy Sofa]

OK, that's more like it.
