7/5 Reds (Finnegan) vs. Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 CDT, CSN MLBN

[cubscott34]

Can we just play the Reds for the rest of the year... please???

 

I need to get this up now as I'm heading out and won't be back until well after midnight Chicago time so here goes.

 

Cubs want to go into the all-star break on a big winning streak. The second of those wins comes against the hapless Reds once again. Lackey mows down the Reds lineup like he shoots deer from a tree stand. Zobrist and Contreras both go deep off Finnegan as Cubs roll again 7-2.

 

Go Cubs!!! We Are Still Good!!!

Only seven? Hot weather, wind forecasted to be blowing straight out.

 

This is the game the Cubs hit the elusive 20 run barrier.

Maybe we can finally hit one into Lake Michigan? :stickman:

Loving these early games.

Same here (even if they are late for me :wink: )

[philosophizer75]

Unfortunately our best bet for hitting it into the lake isn't smashing baseballs this year. Guys I miss Schwarber so much.

[Omar]

[Sammy Sofa]

That lineup pleases me.

[UMFan83]

I know people criticize the arbitrary sample size stuff but horsefeathers it

 

Addison Russell since June 12 (22 games): .265/.393/.529/.922

 

Kris Bryant since May 25 (37 games) .288/.392/.697/1.089

 

Anthony Rizzo since June 3 (28 games) .359/.446/.709/1.155

 

Javier Baez since June 17 (17 games) .313/.362/.531/.894

sure wouldn't be many times that a player goes from batting leadoff one day to batting 9th the following day.

If anyone wants to go the game, I will forward you my 2 bleacher seats for no charge today.

 

Dammit 2PM meeting! Really wish I could go, hope someone takes advantage, thanks for offering to the board

[BigbadB]

Made it to my seats. Great day for a game. Go Cubs! It's been way too long for a game at Wrigley.

Damn, I got a 2PM also (EST) that I scheduled myself. Thought this was a night game for some reason.

You can just go ahead and PM me first before you offer to the rest of the board :)

[Tim]

What the hell is the thing with the trouble the Cubs have getting Billy Hamilton out?

[Schwarber Fan]

It's amazing how we just can't get Hamilton out.

[Liam Neeson]

This is what happens when you walk Billy Hamilton.

[Careless]

Wow, was that stupid

[Tim]

bloody hell Lackey
