Bring in Marmol for the 5 out save plz. -
He'll get a chance to prove himself here.
-
Ouch, that's not good
-
Come on Grabow, show us why you deserved to get the Jim Hendry special in the offseason.
-
Haha Peavy is getting hit hard on the South side. Edit: oops, beaten
-
Quick someone unban CubsGM. Whenever he did that "double play in 3.....2.....1...." thing, the Cubs never seemed to hit into a DP.
-
Horrible result for a 3-1 count dammit. Can you get down the line any slower Aramis? I thought we were going to score that inning. Holding my breath for the pen again..
-
Come on Rammy. 3-0 count

There's never been a pitcher who was so good at missing bats that had such a hard time missing bats. He puts up some wacky lines, that's for sure. i was just kidding, gameday was wrong about him getting out of the inning. he issued two more walks and was taken out. his final line was 3.2 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 8 K, 1 HBP, 90 pitches/52 strikes. that's one bad thing about harden, he's so tough to hit and his control is always marginal, so his pitch count is always going to be high and that leads to a taxed bullpen. that and he gets hurt all the time. One more year like last (and it looks like it will be this year) he'll be a reliever. How many years did Texas give him? 1 plus an 11.5 million team option for another year.
-
How many times are you going to see that pitch before you don't swing at it Riot?
-
Heyward looked outmatched there. Too agressive
-
Time for the unproven bullpen to prove itself. I gotta tell you I'm gonna be on the edge for the next 3 innings.
-
The Blues got to Chicago around yesterday afternoon and had all night to do whatever, watch the game, get a bite to eat, etc. Meanwhile, the Hawks had to play in Dallas last night, fly back to Chicago and play tonight. And its the Hawks that come out to a 3 goal lead early.

Soto takes Dempster out of the game. Jerk
-
Theriot - Don't think he has a hit yet, if he does he only has 1. Hasn't looked that great at the plate and his lack of range has been exposed on the field multiple times. Did hit a fairly well hit ball a bit earlier, but it was right to the 2B, who was playing at double play depth and converted the DP Fukudome - Looked pretty good on Monday, looked alright today. Hit the ball hard to RF in his second AB tonight, but was caught by Heyward. No complaints about him so far. Lee - Hasn't looked great, but I'm not worried about him all that much. Ramirez - Obviously hit that HR Monday, hit a couple other hard hit balls, doing pretty good overall. Byrd - Has had a lot of good abs so far, been robbed a couple of times. Doesn't look all that fast in the OF. Soriano - Haven't seen anything really impressive from him so far at the plate. Did have a good AB earlier today that lead to a double, but it was off an excuse me check swing. Fontenot - mixed reviews. Did have a nice single tonight and worked a couple of counts, but I wouldn't say he looks better than last year yet. Soto - Pretty much the same as Fonteot, except doesn't have a hit yet. Hope that helps

Did you miss the bad call at first that sparked the 2 runs last inning? Or the ball that Prado missed that was inexplicably ruled a hit instead of an error just before Glaus doubled Ramirez off? I think that was a hit based on the fact that it was hit pretty hard, and Prado never really got to the ball. It was a rocketed shot that Prado tried to backhand and couldnt.
-
lol, seriously
-
Hawks have scored 4 goals in the first 9:25 of the game and lead 4-1! The Hawks just dominated the Blues offensively while shorthanded and scored. They just had 2-3 great chances while shorthanded and controlled the puck in the zone for quite awhile before finally scoring.
-
More like '07 or '09. In '08 wed have gotten 4-5 runs out of it. 2008 was the only year we could take a situation where we weren't getting good contact against a pitcher and were able to string a rally together by working the count and situational hitting, as well as a bit of luck sometimes mixed in.
-
That was a Cubs 2008 kind of inning. Not a hard hit ball that inning, just a walk, single, walk, ground ball misplayed by 1B, sac fly to mid CF, and groundout.
-
This only happens to our teams
-
It's almost an automatic take on 2-0 it seems. There's something to be said for drawing walks and being patient, but in hitters counts like that you gotta take advantage when you can. Geo took a similar pitch in his last AB too. Not only is it a hitters count, its a hitters situation, with Dempster on deck and only needing a fly ball to tie the game. You shouldn't be out there looking to walk unless the pitcher is unintentionally intentionally walking him.
-
SWING GEO. If there was ever a thing as a hitter being too selective, that's Geo here.
-
Soto, you had a 2-0 count, you gotta be looking for a pitch to swing at. That was it.
-
I don't think most people are losing it. And I don't think it would matter if we were down 1-0 or down 10-0 or tied 0-0. I think a lot of people had a sinking feeling that the Cubs were not going to be good this year but were hoping it was just pessmistic feeling, and when the Cubs got blown away on Monday, it just put them in a really pessimistic mindframe regarding the Cubs. Or that at least explains the ones that don't usually have pessimistic mindsets.
