8-4 Cubs (Prior) at Phillies (Myers) 12:05 CT, WGN TV/RADIO

[jyoung55]

Amazingly, despite being in homerun friendly Citizens Bank and featureing two teams that hit for power, no homers have been launched.

 

 

I thought the Phillies' new stadium was pitcher friendly. Am I wrong?

 

You are. It's almost as homer-friendly as Great American or Coors

 

I think I was confusing Citzens with Petco. Its hard to keep track of all these new stadiums.

Myers has been a pretty good pitcher this year. :(

Lawton with the leadoff double!

[Flames24Rulz]

leadoff double for Lawton!

[badger1679666666]

Well at least the new guy doesn't want to play like a Cub.

[Blueheart05]

Walker has not been advancing runners lately. A ground ball to the right side was all he needed. Had he done that, Lee's grounder would have scored a run. :roll:

[Jon]

Well that was a poor AB by Walker.

[Flames24Rulz]

all of a sudden, 2 outs and Lawton is only at 3rd. Cmon ARam, we can't ruin this scoring chance.

i see the cubs are carrying over their fundamentals clinic from last night.

[badger1679666666]

Cubs: No HR=No Runs.

 

And Derek Lee has done nothing over the last month with RISP. Without RISP he's been good, with them, bad.

:roll: :roll: :roll:

 

wasted the leadoff double.

[gflore34]

This team could begin every inning with a runner at third and still not score!!!!

[Blueheart05]

Aramis flies out

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We waste a lead-off double...this isn't good. :x

[ltb]

lee is seriously hurt...the man needs a day off.

[NomarSammy]

Leadoff double and walker cannot get him over--costs us a run and an early lead, but wait..........he did throw his bat in disgust--GREAT!!!!

 

Brenly said Walker tried to do the right thing--GREAT--that'll win us alot of games. I say, cut down your darn swing and actually give yourself up and hot a little roller--he tried to go to right, but for a hit, not for a grounder

 

:evil:

FUNDAMENTALS! Its not that hard to pull a grounder to the right side of the infield. Come on, Cubs!

[USSoccer]

That ball looked gone on gameday....what happened? Hard hit or no?

[badger1679666666]

lee is seriously hurt...the man needs a day off.

 

He needs to tell Dusty to sit him. Or he isn't getting a day off.

For those not interested in watching the Cubs lose, Felix Hernandez is making his major league debut against the Tigers this afternoon.

[gflore34]

Think the Cardinals or Astros would have at least moved the runner to third Todd Walker?

[Brian]

Phew, I though maybe that we would feel effects of last nights games, but we're still leaving runners in scoring position with 0 outs so all is well.

wasted the leadoff double.

 

Walker has to learn to give himself up to be a good number 2.

 

 

Leadoff single.
