YES! Cubs score with a man on third and less than two outs!

[Jon]

Nice play, Cintron!

Hairston, Aram, and LEe have STUNK the past 4 games. Edited July 30, 2005 by OldHappyCubFan

Ugh. Hill needs some baserunning work. He went straight back to first base on a flyball to right with 1 out.

[E.J.]

Is it just me or has Hairston been pretty awful lately?

[Fred Hornkohl]

I think we've pretty much established that the offense in general has been on an extended cold streak. Check out Fred's stats a page or two back.

the entire top half of the lineup has been aweful lately. the wins we have gotten can be attributed for the most part to the catchers, shortstops, Murton, and the pitchers spot.

[jjgman21]

"tough for umpires to call that pitch a strike.... "

 

when the guy that threw it wears a big red C.

 

 

thanks blue.

[Jon]

Sure would've liked that 1-2 curve called...

[back2backjax]

u just knew glaus wasn't going to keep missing high low-90s fastballs.

[110percent]

the ump gets that earned run.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Fred Hornkohl]

with that groundout to short, Hill is right at 100 pitches.

[jjgman21]

I want Questec at Wrigley.

Still a good performance by Rich. Let's just hope the offense surfaces at some point.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

All in all, a solid outing for Hill. That is assuming Dusty isn't considering sending him back out there.

[110percent]

8 - 9 - 1 are coming up in the next inning.

I wouldn't mind seeing him come back out for the 7th.

Our bullpen is over worked.

 

Any idea what his avg pitches per start was in the minors?

Couldn't have been too low as a strikeout pitcher.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS own the 6th inning.... outscoring the opponents 84-41

 

Hill with a quality start.....

 

CUBS are 42-15 when they get a quality start,... 11-35 when they don't

 

Let's do it right here, right now.

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Jon]

We've really benefited from some bad defense this week...

[110percent]

well, off to a good start.

[Jon]

Why...

 

That's just an unbelievably bad decision, Derrek...

[110percent]

i take back my last post and apologize to you all.

[XZero771679666304]

Never make the first out at third. Bad, bad decision.
