Cubs end the day alone in first!
-
Wow the Cardinals took a 2-1 lead with the bases loaded 0 outs, and somehow the Pirates got out of it without any further damage.
-
if so, that is a really good start by carpenter Yeah looks very near his CY Young form of a few years ago, he could easily win 16-20 games this year if he stays healthy. With him and a healthy Wainright going, color me worried.
-
Tie game...still runners at the corners with 0 outs. Not looking good.

Adenhart (Angels) Killed after game in wreck

I know nothing of the broadcasting business, but I have to imagine it would be quite difficult to break this type of news, and in a matter of seconds/minutes check on what your first commercial is and change it if innappropriate. I guess so. It's just such an odd coincidence that I feel like it could have somehow been avoided. -
Oh and btw, Theriot is leading baseball in batting average among players with at least 6 ABs.
-
Just for fun, here are a list of players with at least 6 ABs this year that are still hitless: Mike Jacobs, KC - 0-6 Emmanuel Burriss, SF - 0-6 Alex Gonzalez, CIN - 0-6 Carlos Quinten, CWS - 0-7 Jason Kendall, MIL - 0-7 Pat Burrell, TB - 0-7 Dioner Navarro, TB - 0-8 JJ Hardy, MIL - 0-9 Milton Bradley, CHC - 0-9 Lastings Milledge, WAS - 0-9 Mark DeRosa, CLE - 0-10 Billy Butler, KC - 0-10 Garrett Atkins, COL - 0-11 The other 12 guys have combined for 11 BB and 3 R, while Bradley has 4 BB, 1 HBP, and 2 runs for himself.

Seriously what the hell? How do things like this slip through everyone and get on the air (the NASCAR commercial I mean) Sometimes I think they just want to give material to places like deadspin to see if they catch it. -
Through 6 now. And of course the Cardinals game for some reason isn't showing up on my Extra Innings. All the other games work but not that one.
-
Ronny Cedeno and Felix Pie both in the starting lineup today. Pie is 2-2 with a run scored and just got caught stealing right before a double was hit (cost the O's the tying run) Cedeno is 1-3

Who the heck would be surprised that a 22 year old is still out at 12:30, gramps? -

Hit and runs are one of the most despicable things you can do to a fellow human being, especially if the other car was seriously hit. Who knows if they could have saved his life had they stopped and checked to see if they were ok. Thank God the person driving the other car was caught and arrested. Ugh....RIP :( -
I honestly don't know if DLee's numbers last year would be considered above average. .823 OPS for a 1B? Maybe if you factor in D. But he was 15th out of 23 qualified 1B last year in OPS.
-
http://www.cubsmagicnumber.com/ I believe it's at 160 right now.

Here is the guy Milton Bradley will be receiving tonight (henceforth known as "Milton's Black Guy of the Game"): In honor of Milton's great eye tonight, he will be receiving a black guy whose eyes, ironically, don't work. http://thebloodofjesus.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/stevie_wonder.jpg

Who cares... pointless game. Sucks the Hawks were forced to lose in the pointless shootout (the stupidest thing to ever occur in sports). It's like the Cubs being tied after the 9th and being forced to go to a home run derby. Sucks the Hawks got another fake loss. GO CUBS! True, its not like the Hawks need to become better at the shootout for the playoffs, since that can't happen.
-
12th OTL for the Hawks this year :( (yes I realize this is the Cubs game thread.)
-
Stupid shootouts.
-
See, this is why you don't give up on a player after one freaking game. I mean, he was swinging the bat well at the end of spring training.
-
The Hawks just needed a point to clinch the 4 seed right? So we got it.
-
0-9. It could be really bad if he is still hitless next Monday. Good thing we have a weekend series on the road, although it is in Milwaukee. I'm pretty confident he'll get a hit at some point this weekend.
-
He claims in the papers that his age hasn't slowed him down at all. I remain dubious of his statement.
-
Good time for Bradley's first hit dammit.
-
Hopefully not, you know he will pitch 7 or 8 shutout innings and hit a HR onto Sheffield Marquis is scheduled to pitch on Friday, so if he goes on Regular rest, he will pitch on Wednesday. If they don't skip the 5th starter, he'll probably go on Thursday.
-
Derrek Lee has been the worst Cubs regular hitter in this early season. Please change that here.
