8/21 - Cubs (Assad) vs Tigers (Faedo): 5:40pm, Marquee

[chibears55]

Sometimes I wish the cubs wouldn't score early cause they seem to always shutdown afterwards 

[UMFan83]

The offense just hoping to coast to the finish line just like yesterday I guess lol

3 hits today and their 4 runs scored on an error, wild pitch, double and solo HR

In all fairness, I don't think any of us expected Detroit to hit two home runs back to back

Greene / Torkelson / Carpenter have been swinging the bat well 

[abuck1220]

no idea where these last 9 outs are coming from 

[Dfan25]

They will need to go to Leiter for 3rd straight if they don’t score anymore 

[chibears55]

Fulmer will likely close it out, wouldn't mind a couple more runs though 

[UMFan83]

This last week of Cubs baseball has felt like survive and advance

[PackLandVA]

Phillies leading the Giants 6-2 in the ottom of 6.

Michael Wacha goes for the Pads against the Fish. Watch is 9-2 with a 2.68 ERA. That is not a typo.

Tex/AZ later. Reds/Angels postponed.

Ok, that noise is really bothering me.

Scoreboard watching against 5-6 other teams is exhausting.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Three runs is a pretty safe lead against this Tigers offense. That tack-on run was important.

don't usually pay much attention til after September 1st.  Now I just care about Milwaukee and Reds, im hoping they can be in first by September and control their own destiny from there.

Not cool Fulmer

Gotta get an out.

[UMFan83]

Fulmer gets 2 strikes on every player then starts throwing balls 6 inches off the plate WTF

[chibears55]

Cubs need Candelario to get going,  he hasn't done much since the Mets series two weeks ago.

[UMFan83]

Bases loaded 0 outs come the horsefeathers on

[We Got The Whole 9]

Now that call really hurts. That's a K.

And as a result, doesn't get the borderline call.

Maybe he shouldn't have thrown the other 3 way outside

Technically yes, but also about as borderline as they come.
