Nice pitching by Maddux there after giving up the lead-off single. I'm just as shocked as Brenly that they didn't try to steal with Taveres.

[Fred Hornkohl]

This is our spot to take the lead.

 

CUBS have outscored the opponents 119-62 in the sixth inning.

[YearofDaCubs]

Yayy!!!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Earth to Dusty. Take Maddux out.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Neifi giveth and Neifi taketh away.

 

Neifi sucketh.

[Mizzou]

Hang em up Greg.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Thanks Neifi. :evil:

[J.R.]

And another great season of Neifi Perez baseball comes to a close.

 

Dusty Baker has really shafted the Phillies today.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Now you take Maddux out? As usual, one inning too late, Dustbag. Moron.

[YearofDaCubs]

This is despicable. Our season in a nutshell.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Now you take Maddux out? As usual, one inning too late, Dusty. Moron.

 

Let him hit with a runner in scoring position, leave him in the game to surrender the lead, and then take him out. Dusty 101.

That buffoon has to be stopped. Does Hendry not watch the games?

Just terrible.

[E.J.]

This is like the perfect game to end the season. It pretty much sums up the entire season perfectly. Dusty, you rock.
