  1. be careful what you ask for. I ask that Will does his job. It starts with finding a strike zone. Hopefully, it ends with a strikeout. :)
  2. pirate announcers probably blamed the umps for that foul ball too...
  3. Cmon, Will. All I ask is that you can find the strike zone.
  4. The Cubs have blown 3 scoring opportunities on offense, and gifted 2 scoring opportunities on defense. They should've already won this game, so they might as well win it for real anyway.
  5. Positives: The Cubs are in the 10th inning, and they still have relievers left. Negatives: The Cubs are in the 10th inning, and they have no hitters left.
  6. Have you checked their stats? Yeah and they all put a ton of runners on base. They get inherited runners out, but that streak is eventually going to come to an end. Wuertz is the only worthwhile guy in our pen. Going by MLB numbers, the Cubs pen is 7th in ERA, 8th in WHIP at 1.29, 5th in walks at 37, 6th in OBA at .314. The pen is good.
  7. The lack of scoring with a runner on 3rd and nobody out really bit them that time.
  8. They have a 3.26 ERA, good for 7th in the majors right now. I wouldn't say it's bad.
  9. With 2 blown DPs, it would only be fitting to end the game on a DP.
  10. Tough to double up Sanchez, so it'll be tough here. EDIT: Never mind, Wilson is up. Maybe double up, but watch for the bunt.
  11. Seemingly a lot of short flies to center today.
  12. On Soriano's single, Ward contemplated going to third, then ran back to second. Throw appeared to beat him back, but ump called him safe. Tracy didn't like it, and came out all hot and bothered. Ump quickly tossed him. Probably also upset about an earlier call at home as Soriano avoided a tag.
  13. Do the Cubs have a walk today? I don't remember one. A little bit concerning, considering that really limits scoring opportunities.
  14. Sarcasm? Cause it's not near worth the risk when there's 2 down and you're already in scoring position as the tying run. No, he saw that Lee was running away from the play. First basemen usually don't have the best arms, and even with a throw on line, he beats it.
  15. Update? Update is, he just got doubled off 1st on a line drive. Wow. You're right. He blew the game. Yeah, how dare someone get on base 4 times in one game. First apparently he wasn't aggressive enough. Next he was too aggressive. Third time he was left on the bases, the jerk. Fourth time he wasn't standing on first base anticipating the lineout.
  16. Sanchez tags and goes to third on a popout to first. Good baserunning play.
  17. Ohman warming up, presumably because someone on the Pirates hits lefty.
  18. Bah, cmon, field SOMETHING cleanly.
  19. Cmon, get through Bay and Nady here.
  20. Probably some carryover there from the Soriano call earlier in the game. Pitt has gotten several breaks in today's game, though.
  21. 2-0. Cmon Soriano, wait for a good pitch.
