  1. Here's the 8th inning comeback - if only they could trade for Hawkins...
  2. FWIW - I called Ohman's 2nd inning b4 the HR. :cry:
  3. Hey, after the HR we didn't implode - that's a start. Let's get a couple runs here!
  4. Does it seem like our relievers always perform poorly when they come in for a second inning (even if they only throw a few pitches previously)?
  5. We should never bunt a guy to 3rd. We cannot get a fly ball to save our lives in that situation...
  6. Cubs lead by 22 runs this season. They also have a BA that is .018 above the D-backs and a SLG that is .038 above. The D-Backs have a slight (.002) advantage in OBP. I'd say the Cubs offense is better. You know what I don't get? We are ahead of the White Sox in OBP, SLG, and BA, but they have seriously outscored us. What's up with that? Sorry for this in the middle of a game thread, but... A bit of luck and timely hitting? BP's combined stat of equivalent average accounts for hitting and baserunning and can be converted into equivalent runs. By this metric the Cubs are a better offense (7th in ML), but have scored 23 fewer runs than expected. The Sox have the 2nd worst EQA in the ML, but have scored 23 runs more than they should have with that offense. This is part of the explanation - though execution may play some role!
  7. Sorry Grace, that would not have been a triple (or HR) if the RF drops it. Maybe if I send a pack of smokes to the booth he'll shut up!
  8. Nice way to wiggle off the hook (o.k., 2 SO's may be jumping off the hook, but...) any chance Dusty DOESN'T bring him back with 100 pitches through 5?
  9. Dempster with wins his last three games...
  10. I'll give him credit for a few late, smart moves (Murton, Dempster), but you are correct! Cubs WIN!!!!!
  11. Does Alou always do this? If he and LaRussa are in a tight game does it last 6 hours?
  12. Don't need your first hit here - take a walk!!! Nice.
  13. I like Dusty using Deptster in the tie game here. Not much to give credit for, but that's forward thinking. I concur. I left for a minute and was thinking how I'd love to not see Remmy in there for inning 2.
  14. Aramis, could he have made 2nd base? Stay out of the DP!
  15. Open the turnstyle - here come the relievers!
  16. But Macias is hitting 'em real hard - just right at people!
  17. Looking WAY too far ahead. Is Dempster available today? 3 days on 1 day off?
  18. "Average" teams score 1.54 runs in that situation...
  19. This would be with no outs...C'mon!
