9/2 Giants (Suarez) @ Cubs (Lester), 1:20 PM, WGN MLBN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ah yes, the infamous "almost no-hitter then we don't even win" game.

 

When has this even happened to the Cubs in recent memory?

 

I have vague memories of a few of those happening in the Dusty years.

 

Didn't Clement have one going in Puerto Rico that felt like he was getting shelled through 5?

it seems to me he had a no-hitter but got pulled after 5 because he walked about 17 people

[Liam Neeson]

I mean this is the only thing I can remember even kind of meeting the criteria.

God. horsefeathers the Giants, seriously. horsefeathers them. I want to heap as much misery and humiliation as possible on them

[philosophizer75]

Man, Pence broke up a 0-40 streak for the Giants where they only got one baserunner on a walk.

Its all fun and games till people start counting outs in October :D

[soccer10k]

Still only at 78. Still in halfway decent shape for CG assuming Joe will bend a little bit over the 100 pc ceiling he's seemed to have since we ran away from all the other teams.

Rooting for a Maddux now.

 

He can't get one - a Maddux includes a shutout.

[UMFan83]

Thanks for the 5 pitch inning

[BigSlick]

*completely irrational and unfair voice* it wouldn't hurt the cubs to rally and score more runs

[ConstableRabbit]

There's no way Romo isn't putting something on that ball. His pre-pitch routine is insane.

[Liam Neeson]

Can a TV person describe what just happened on that foul?

 

 

Edit: Not like it mattered anyway

Deep in the right field corner, glanced off the side wall

Thanks, they were speculating about fan interference on the radio.

How many players did we just burn there (zero?) i'm not sure how this works

Yeah, I was at that game, That was the one where the fly ball landed in the Bermuda triangle between Agon, Aramis and Alou.

just Montero

[BigSlick]

Eh I can't get mad about a DP lineout

 

Like everything else about Heyward's season: its just unfortunate, in all ways

[BigSlick]

if that Demon Hunter Pence beats us I will destroy many things in my office

[squally1313]

I know it makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things, but I'd love to know the thought process on Zobrist in left, Bryant at third, Baez at second vs Bryant in left, Baez at third, Zobrist at second.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

man, Posey looked terrible in every at bat I saw today

[Ding Dong Johnson]

finish this spaz

[BigSlick]

Come on, give in, bums

[ConstableRabbit]

horsefeathering Pence. That was a good PA though.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

not a HUGE deal, but it would have been nice if he finished this under 100

[Transmogrified Tiger]

great take by the wet bandit
