Not even. I spent $51 on a fill-up today.
-
Now, let's get some friggin runs!
-
Nice!

Very true. Defense is like the new OBP, which doesn't mean the Cubs have to follow it blindly. But the Cubs look like they've payed almost no attention to defense while constructing this team. unfortunately it looks like they've paid very little attention to offense or pitching either. But we lead the league in giving out no-trade clauses and huge obscene long-term contracts, so there's that. It sickens my stomach to think of the production the Cubs could be getting for Soriano's money. They should have a guy who can absolutely rake. Soriano's contract is bad for that reason, but he could make the situation so much better if he could play according to his talent. They money didn't bother me as much as the years did. If it was 4 or 5 years, I'd have no issues. But he's got 5 years left on it including this one, and there is no way that he'll put up numbers even worthy of being in a ML lineup that long.

3 runs wins it for the Braves, I think, with as good as Jurjens looks. Demp has to hold them here.

They had a few rebuilding years, but unlike certain franchises, they have competent baseball people where it matters and know how to build a competitive franchise.

wrong. outs 2 AND 3
-
To be fair Soto and Riot did make good contact.
-
See what good defense can do?
-
I'm listening on the radio and I hate this umpire.
-
Nice hit, Demp. Soto got some good wood on it. Too bad Riot will be at least out #2 though.
-
Careful. I've been told that fundimentals are 'garbage' on this board. All you need to do is put up numbers, man.
-
Not too many, Demp. Jurjens isn't going to need many tonight.
-
Damnit.
-
That was a terrible call but in the grand scheme of things wouldn't have mattered anyway.
-
Hey, if Old Hoss Radbourn can pitch 678.2 innings back in 1884, Z can pitch about 300 or so this season without issue.
-
Hopefully not a bad omen.
-
Win, idiots. i'm not ready to start the game thread yet.

Damn, nobody falls for that old trick. -
It's times like this where I'm glad I get 2 network feeds instead of 1. I get the ABC, NBC, FOX, and CBS stations from both Madison and Milwaukee, so if one breaks into programming, I can just flip to the other.
-
Don't suck, Cobs.
-
What is with all the death in this thread today? Geez
-
I hope you got rip-roaring drunk to compensate.

It can always get worse with the Cubs. Always.
