Patton looked good there.

[ConstableRabbit]

Pump that fist, Spencer.

[davell]

Patton's last stand!

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm just so dumbfounded how a team as good as the Cubs can all the sudden be bad at almost all facets of the game for 3 weeks and combine it with the worst luck imaginable: terrible sequencing luck, terrible luck at stranding runners and terrible luck with injuries. It's like a perfect storm was needed to bring the Cubs down a peg.

 

Though they still have a commanding division league, so it's a weird kind of bad luck.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Why did Patton look good that inning?

[Cubswin11]

SPENCER PATTON FOR MVP

[TMan92]

Patton for closer!

[Brian]

guys, we will always have this fleeting moment of happiness

[UMFan83]

Got excited until I saw that Patton, Szczur and Rizzo due up. Looks like Rizzo HR or bust for the Cubs

[Tim]

Walkoff incoming.

[Gilby]

Oh god, that says 19 strikeouts in 8 innings

[Agony and Ivy]

Win or lose we probably get to Pittsburgh around 5am and are dragging tomorrow night.

 

As a side note on the city of Pittsburgh...this city is basically Cleveland. They just happen to have good football and hockey teams. Also, I got in at 10 and there is nothing happening downtown. Walgreens literally closes at 7 which is where I start when grading nightlife in a city.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Willson must end this thing. It is written.

[Brian]

i think that girl they just showed in the bleachers was post heroin in the forehead injection

[ConstableRabbit]

That was a ball earlier tonight.

[Ski]

Maybe swing at that?

[17 Seconds]

it seems like we immediately have a bunch of horrible hitters in the lineup the second extra innings start

[Agony and Ivy]

Weird baseball time

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Get on base so Willson can let out a thunderous roar after murdering a baseball.

[treebird]

hahaha the umpire put that ball the pitcher didn't like back in his pocket to use again

[Brian]

is this guy pitching for his life? celebrating ending an inning - cool, every out - not really

There was a wonderful time when getting a Cubs player out warranted that kind of celebration

[davell]

This [expletive] had a 9.98 ERA in 15 innings in AAA this year

[Gilby]

Yeah, Lackey is about to throw a baseball at him from the dugout.

[UMFan83]

I'm not watching anymore but it seems like anything remotely close to the strike zone is being called a strike. Is this true?
