[Guancous]

MY head would have exploded if Lee got hurt diving in the bullpen.

[Brian]

would it be to much to ask for 3-4-5 to do something?

[Jon]

That could have been disaster for Derrek.

 

Certainly not a bad game for Carlos, but he's still not himself. 120 pitches.

[illiniguy]

ok lets get some runs

[Flames24Rulz]

wow! a break that finally went our way!

[Jon]

wow! a break that finally went our way!

Thanks to the shift. Spivey probably gets that if it gets past the pitcher.

 

Unbelievable...

[Flames24Rulz]

are you kidding? wow how did that not go out???

[illiniguy]

what a bunch of crap. i hate the baseball gods.

[Neuby]

[YearofDaCubs]

ANd of course we cant get squat done!

[Brian]

I want to throw myself out a window

[illiniguy]

todd hollandsworth nice swing on a 1-0 pitch. How a team that thinks it is a playoff contender continues to start you is beyond me.

[Flames24Rulz]

only good news is that Lee will bat one more time. other then that, nothing else good so far.

[Crash]

Three hart hit balls and the only one that isn't an out has to deflect off the pitcher.

I can tell you right now, we are nto a playoff team. Not with this offense.

[Brian]

against Cordero, so more than likely with 0 on, but whats new

[Brian]

why do I think if a Cubs was up there that would be called a swing

[YearofDaCubs]

Good job Novoa!
