[Sarcastic]

According to Len and Bob, it is blowing straight out.

 

Welcome to the board, stick around, your good luck.

 

Walker hits a flyball single that falls into shallow center, Lawton to second.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

I hate these situations. They never work out well for the Cubs. (knocks on wood)

I dont know.. but I will say welcome to the board!

[Sarcastic]

Lee works a full count but pops up behind second base.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Gamecast said the pitch was really low. If that's true, maybe Lee is trying to do too much lately.

[Sarcastic]

Aramis hits a flyball to the track in centerfield, caught by Griffey.

[da bears]

well unfoortunately i cant say im surprised that the cubs did not score in this situation, they are just not very good with runners on base

[eburgcub]

2 on no outs. Then 3 straight fly outs. arghhhhhhhhh..........

[Sarcastic]

Burnitz pops up on the infield, and the Cubs squander another opportunity with RISP and no outs. ](*,)

Why are you always knocking on Wood? The guys hurt...leave him alone.

[JGalt73]

There was a time this year where 2 men on in front of Lee and Ramirez was automatic. Now it's just sad.

[NorthsideAvenger]

Now that the Cubs got their "threat" of the game out of the way, who now sees the Reds taking control of the game in the 2nd inning?

There was? I can't remember...

[dalgreen]

Lee's at-bat killed us. In all of our losses, all you have to do is look at the 3-6 hitters to see why we don't score runs.

No, they'll wait till Dunn and Griffey come back up again. That's when they'll tear the cover off the ball.

 

So much for our "RBI guys" getting the job done...

[da bears]

anyone else think that derrek lee is slumping because of an injury none of know about?

[Wheelimus]

Now THAT is how you waste runners at 1st & 2nd, with no outs, without a double play...IN STYLE!

 

:lol:

 

Say what you will, but we lose brilliantly....

 

(laughing through the tears....)

My guess it will be close until late in the game, but a mix of terrible defensive play and a bullpen meltdown will give it away.

 

That said, go Cubs, don't screw up!

I'm waiting for Lee's left arm to fall off. I don't think that shoulder ever healed up.

[dalgreen]

Casey with a double. I like the Cubs' chances to fall behind again.

No, the best way to waste runners would be with a triple play. That keeps the opposing pitcher to a minimum of pitches.
