6/30 Game Thread CUBS GO FOR SWEEP 1:20 WGN

[sethuel1]

I still do my part for Old Style. I don't care how bad their commercials are when the beer's $13 for a 30 pack in Chicago.

 

 

I think I broke the board.

I think I broke the board.

 

It's been like this for a long time. Hoping that the new phpbb is coming soon...

[Coach C]

Wow.... Macias got a RBI single. :shock:

 

5-2 now.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Did Macias really just get a hit??

i know. What's the problem, exactly?

[JC]

Nice job, Jose. Way not to suck.

[gerby23]

Macias wants to make sure his OBP stays above Corey. He can probably take most of the ribbing but falling below Corey has got to hurt.

With that stupid 7 man bullpen, I would consider getting Mitre up now. Maddux is near 40 pitches for just 2 innings, so its obvious he can crash and burn in the third. If he started to struggle, I wouldn't hesitate to pull him as it looks like this could be a moderately high scoring affair. Why have a 7 man pen if you can't take advantage of it?

[Coach C]

Well that one just sucked.

You need the pitchers to hit for themselves though since you only have 5 bench guys and don't want to run out early.

Maddux just plain sucks. After just seeing the score on yahoo and the 5ER next to maddux makes the rest of my work day suck even more.

Mitre has been up already.

:scratch:

 

I wasn't suggesting a double switch. Just have Mitre ready. If Maddux rights the ship and Mitre isn't used, fine. My point was that if you burn Mitre with the warm ups, there are plenty of yahoos left in the pen.

Len says Lee is leading the 1B voting by 49,410 votes. :D

[Omar]

Lee is leading!!!!

[OldHappyCubFan]

Jeez, Maddux is getting shelled by the BREWERS.

[E.J.]

D Lee is winning the all-star balloting now by 49,000. That's awesome.

Thanks, Fred. That didn't show up on sportsline.

[goonys evil twin]

Cubs aren't.

[Coach C]

Sheesh, someone call it.

[sethuel1]

Ronnie is losing it.

I've put my votes in today, but guess I'll see if I can find some other email addresses to use! Need to get a bigger lead built up!

Yeah, I hate having HOF pitchers on our team...
