Go CUBS !!!

[Chris]

We got this one...

[Mark Priors Calves]

We got this one...

 

There's no doubt, it seemed every year during the 90's when the Cubs were officially eliminated they would go on a tear and play way above their heads. I see that happening again this year.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Rekindle that hot streak you had before your last outing, Jerome.

 

Go Bears!!

[otis89]

55 to -2 Astros. That's how bad we suck.

[Marco4]

Go Cubs!

[otis89]

Everyone run for cover!! Roast's going to be throwing stuff!!

yikes

[muntjack]

Craig Biggio has more homeruns than our power hitting/strikeout prone right-fielder. :(

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'll be watching football. Meh...

[J.R.]

So we skip Messmer now? That's bad, but the lineup is so much worse.

[lowest]

dlee! 1-0 cubbies

[J.R.]

Lee with the Guthrie/Lowell special. Nice to see someone actually trying at the plate.

[abuck1220]

shockingly, the obp twins go down after five pitches.

 

also surprisingly, lee hits a solo homerun.

 

 

this first inning sums up why baker is a terrible, terrible manager.
