Pirates (Duke) @ Cubs (Maddux), 7:05pm WCIU

[Chris]

Crap. Come on, Maddux. :x

 

That ball didn't do anything but hang over the heart of the plate

[otis89]

Ha ha. 8 pitch at-bat for Maddux. See how it's done Neifi and Macias? :lol:

[Chris]

Maddux with runners on 1st & 2nd with nobody out and Maddux fields a bunt and gets the lead runner at 3rd for the 1st out

[Chris]

Murton with another hit

 

Oh wow, unreal play by Sanchez

[Chris]

You'll see that one on Baseball Tonight several times

[Chris]

5-3, that ball was crushed

[illiniguy]

well maddux had the lead and our lineup scored three he couldn't hold it. at least they gave him a chance to win 15.

[Chris]

To the 9th, still 5-3

[illiniguy]

you really have to love it that Baker gets a guy who was basically out of baseball 551 abs for us this year.

[Chris]

Maddux was given a chance, let's see if the offense can get it for him

[Chris]

They brought their gloves, 1 out

[Chris]

semi-collision, 2 outs

[Chris]

Sorry Greg

[erik316wttn]

All good things must end, I guess.

[Omar]

What a game---What a season :x

[Chris]

At least Riot got a start.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Still frustrating as hell.

[Chris]

If Maddux is to win 15 he'll have to make an appearance from the bullpen if the situation is right.

[Mizzou]

If Maddux is to win 15 he'll have to make an appearance from the bullpen if the situation is right.

 

I hope that doesn't happen.

I don't think he'd want it that way.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Let's have a strong finish as long as we finish in the bottom 8 of the NL!!

 

Why do you want them to finish in the bottom 8 of the NL? For a top 15 pick, the Cubs just need to finish in the bottom 15 in all of baseball, they stopped alternating the leagues with every pick.

[Marco4]

This is the first Cubs loss I've felt really disappointed about in a good while, which speaks volumes about my respect for Maddux. I just thought they had to come good once when we want to.

[badger1679666666]

At least Riot got a start.

 

He should start the next 5 games but I know Macias will be in there at least 2 probably 3 of them.

 

F Dusty.

[LoneStarCubFan]

I'm going to guess that Dusty uses the "we're playing a team in a pennant race" excuse to start the Panamanian Service Station Attendant in all four games in Houston.
