Cubs haven't won a game Boyd has started since 8/9, lost the last 5.  Not all of it has been the fault of Boyd, he's pitched well enough to win in 3 of those 5 losses.  Inevitably some combination of bad managerial moves and bad bullpen, well, mainly bad bullpen has cost the Cubs.  Be awfully nice to put an end to that streak while the Braves finish off the Phillies.

But a 27% beat the ball into the ground while waggling your head and exhaling sharply before being thrown out at first rate

[mk49]

Not a good start, but a great throw by Miggy was big help.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pete is having a really hard time covering that high fb lately

So glad I got to see the Cubs turn a 1st and 2nd 0 out situation into no runs during Bears halftime

Just like that Cubs fan who took his laptop to a game last year, you just know Marquee will show the replay of that fan for the next 2 weeks.

What’s the deal with the half-empty stands? Everyone at the bars/home to watch the bears?

Rain, I guess.

[abuck1220]

two not great offensive efforts after going nuts on friday.

when does gregory soto come in?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Let's horsefeathers go. And a TD

[mk49]

Miggy!!!

[abuck1220]

immediately gives it back. horsefeathers lead off walk. get him out.

[Gjfificifjdej]

How do you not pull Boyd after the base hit.

Wind blowing in doesn't help. I haven't been watching super close but PCA would have 2 homers with neutral wind.

[mk49]

Yeah, Pete probably had 2 HR's, if the wind wasn't blowing in.

Boyd didn't look sharp today, but he was getting good results, until this inning.  Oh well.  Score more runs.

 

[JHBulls]

This team is cooked.

Pitching staff doesn't have a single clutch bone in their body

[abuck1220]

phillies turned a 2-2 game into a 9-2 lead.

[abuck1220]

that was one of those times where having absolutely no swing and miss available in the bullpen bit them in the ass
