9/14 Cubs (Williams) vs. Reds (Keisler) - CSNC 7:05

[Schwarber Fan]

2-0

[BigbadB]

Belisle can't throw strikes. 2-0 way off the plate to Murton. Looking good to get at least one here.

[Chris]

Is Soto going to catch?

[YearofDaCubs]

That was a give me strike.

[sandberg23]

The HBP loads the bases with just one out. Murton with a good count. 2-0, now 2-1.

[otis89]

Hopefully Barrett's OK. I wondered why Blanco was running for him.

No more runs. Just Walker's HR. Murton hit into a FC...5-2. Then Neifi flared out to SS.

It said that when Greenberg got drilled in the helmet, too.

[USSoccer]

Not good. Murton came up twice with the bags loaded tonight and failed to drive anyone in. That doesn't bode well for him.

 

We need this game.

[Chris]

Neifi down to .276

[otis89]

We need this game.

 

Especially with the Astros winning 7-1. Assuming they hold on, if we win, we're only 5 back.

Why isnt Dusty Baker leaving? He has an injured head.

Mathematically it's difficult, but if we can *just* make it interesting at this point I'll take it. I don't expect it, but I'll be pleased if we can show some fight in these last 3 weeks.

I don't think we have a chance, but if we're going to go down, I want to go down fighting.

[USSoccer]

Dempster hits Aurilia.

 

regardless of what Brenly says, that looked intentional.
