7/5 Cubs (Maddux) @ Braves (Colon) 6:35 PM CSN

[Omar]

Hairston strikes out. C'mon Burny!

[nikao]

Any word on why Lee is out of the game?

 

I would guess it has something to do with the sore left shoulder that he was reported to have. I hope it is just precautionary.

 

Pat and Ron did say something in the 1st about Lee looking a little gimpy after his at-bat. They thought maybe he twisted something.

[Omar]

Burnitz flys out in front of the warning track. 2 down. C'mon Ramirez!

[Omar]

Brenly talking about birthdays: PLEASE SHUT UP.

[Omar]

Ramirez reaches 1st. C'mon Holla!

[nikao]

You see, here's the problem. Aramis isn't fast, so walking doesn't really help, right? I mean, isn't that what Dusty said? :D

[Omar]

Holla flys out. Inning over.

[Omar]

Maddux being aggressive tonight. So many strikeouts! He really wants the 3,000 ASAP.

[Brian]

and they've been looking at strike 3

[Flames24Rulz]

Greg is cruising.

[nikao]

He should pitch in Atlanta more often.

[Tim]

I'm going out on a limb and calling a quality AB for Patterson here.

[Flames24Rulz]

"left shoulder irritation" for DLee. Hope its nothing serious.

[Flames24Rulz]

base hit for Maddux!

[gflore34]

I'm going out on a limb and calling a quality AB for Patterson here.

 

He put the ball in play, I'd say that's a quality at bat.

[Omar]

Neifi grounds. Inning over. C'mon Maddux!!

[Flames24Rulz]

looks like Greg not only needs to give Neifi bunting lessons, but hitting lessons as well.

[Neuby]

DLEE better be ok

[nikao]

This lineup makes me long for the days of Bako, Gonzalez, and the pitcher's spot. It's the perfect 1-2-3 inning combination.

[J.R.]

At least Maddux turned the lineup over so we won't lead off with Neifi ...

[TrueBlueCubFan]

At least Maddux turned the lineup over so we won't lead off with Neifi ...

Amen. A big inning coming in the top of the 6th

[Omar]

Maddux with his 6th K.

[Flames24Rulz]

2 down on the bunt. One more Greg, then we need to score next inning before the rain comes.

[Omar]

Trivia: Who is the only player that has gotten 3,000 hits with the Cubs?

[minnesotacubsfan]

chicagosports.com is saying Lee left with a leg injury
