tremendous baserunning from Luis!

[JHBulls]

Sign up Megill now.

No matter what happens with this game today. This team is

that caught him pretty flush on the elbow... that could be really bad

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Vazquez the most successful Manfred Man in Cub history 

[sneakypower]

actually never seen a play like that before

[Andy]

What percent of our runs in the last few weeks are the direct result of the other team horsefeathers something up badly? It's got to be as high as any such stretch ever.

Good for Vasquez though.

Who this Vazquez kid, didn't know he was on the roster 😏😏😏😏

Yeah, that looked like a whole lot of not good.

[Nomar1679622287]

Felt like the type of comebacker that wrecked Prior 

[JHBulls]

Yeah, just saw where that hit. Took the pitcher right out of the play. 

[Jason Ross]

I sincerely feel for Megill there. What horrible luck. But maybe the Cubs can use some good luck on their part to spring board and find themselves a bit.

Looks like the wrist now on the replay. Must be broken. Absolutely awful luck for him.

Hopefully it just caught him so his arm went numb, not that it did major damage

And perhaps, if Riggleman and others had taken a little more precaution, we'd have gotten a full career out of Kerry Wood instead of the protracted one we got. 

There's what ifs everywhere. I'd rather the Cubs be safe than chase a no-hitter. No hitters are cool, but Brown's health is more cool.

If the Cubs lose this, it's less to do with Brown being pulled (he was never getting the 9th) and more to do with rest of the team. A team who is clearly struggling to win and with confidence right now. 

 

I understand the world we live in today. 

[UMFan83]

Seiya looks so uncomfortable at the plate right now.

I think he knew he wouldn't be able to do anything with it even if he did

Yeah, normally even if a guy knows he is hurt, he is at least going to attempt to finish the play.  Megill just walked off and let the ball sit there.

[chibears55]

OMG, can they actually score 2 runs this inning ????

Let’s not get crazy.

I know you do. It's just the world of what ifs allow endless unknowable answers. All we can do is accept the universe we live in. Maybe parallel land Wood won 200 games and Ben Brown got a no hitter. They're probably having more fun than us.

Calling it now, bellinger weakly hits it to an IF who throws out Tauchman at the plate because he was going on contact

[mfcubs22]

Morel has looked comfortable at the plate tonight. Too bad he was removed for the on-base machine. 

[JHBulls]

 Say what you will about our bullpen, but our hitters have gotten to a lot of bullpens lately.
