We keep saying this, but how is it the park's fault which way the wind blows?

I mean obviously it’s Mother Nature , but unfortunately Wrigley it’s one of the places where the wind affects the most . Yeah it’s absolute hell .

[Dfan25]

Much needed from Pomeranz , thank you 

[UMFan83]

Any word on whether Palencia is recovered?

[Banedon]

I do *not* have the commitment to work to ever bring my laptop to Wrigley.  Never ever.

[UMFan83]

Caissie's HR, perfect Wrigley hitter:

Yeah, Boog and JD said he was back to normal today.

[squally1313]

Yeah JD said Palencia was healthy and ready to go. Just avoid the walks.

I can think of worse places to do work. Like at work, for instance. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Caught AGAIN. 

[BKHoo]

Bullpen quietly doing work.  Just one more inning needed.  

[Derwood]

Willllllliam with two quick throws

[UMFan83]

Wow we can't steal on this mother horsefeathers

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why the hell can the Cubs not steal bases?

[squally1313]

Unreal on this baserunning 

[BKHoo]

I guess you can throw PCA out?

Contreras is ridiculous.

The changeup has been the kriptonite for Cassie in this very small sample

That was apparently 3 splitters and a cutter in that sequence 

[We Got The Whole 9]

If Palencia blows it they might start throwing trash on the field or charging the field

Yeah , Contreras has a strong arm and he throws it toward 1st base , which is what you want . Ortiz and Turang are very quick and accurate with their tags as well . Unless the pitcher is extremely slow , not a good idea to run

Really ? Could have swear it was the changeup . Thats why I didn’t even looked . Anyway , off speed seems to be the trouble early on 

[Dfan25]

Throw it down the middle
