    Chris Young has had a terrible night in the field for AZ. Runner on 3rd no outs for COL.

    I've reached that point with this offense against lefties. You know, that eyes-rolled-back, drooling, mumbling, labotomized apathetic point. They just plain old suck against lefties. I wouldn't let them face a single righty starter the rest of the year if I was trying to beat the Cubs. Bullpen pitchers, callups, guys off the street......any lefty will do.

    You guys realize if we win tonight you'll have to do the mega-quote in every game thread, right?

    Lee looks like baseball players used to look - they have a peak year or two and then their avg years. That was before "enhancements" changed the patterns and the fans' perceptions. OK. Well that sucks. I have noticed that Lee's HR power is pretty much completely gone now. That's obvious of course, but it causes me no end of angst and frustration. Lee's power is no less gone than anybody else on the team. He has 3 times the number of home runs as anybody else since the Break. He'll probably end up with 12-13 home runs on the second half, which is consistent with Lee with just about every year but 2005. His first half was way down on the power though (which might have been working up the wrist strength), but he has shown some the last month and a half. Alright, well I'll admit maybe I'm a little spoiled from '05.

    Hard to do if Lilly is going to throw 100 pitches in 4 innings of work. I really hate this. Marmol is awesome, and I fear for his safety! He struggled in his 2nd inning -- got out of it though, and was therefore as much responsible as anyone for the victory. I can't quantify it, but without Marmol I feel like we wouldn't be within 5 games right now.

    Hahaha. I also thought it was a good move -- Fielder has come through in a few late inning situations this year IIRC, he's one of the premiere hitters in the NL right now. First base open -- I was good with walking him. I wasn't good with walking in the 4th run after, but Demp should get Mench out, which he did.

    Well, we found out yesterday if you're Capuano-bad, then the Cubs will finally hit you even though you're a lefty. So here's the question: is Wandy just bad? Or is he Capuano-bad?

    Umm, I think StL is 3 back they lost.

    Sleep well tonight Cubbie fans. We haven't been playing good baseball but have still built up a little breathing room. Christ one damn winning streak would put this thing away. ONE.
  11. Soul
    I actually know what you're saying, but no can't let fat boy have the chance. CUBS WIN!
  12. Soul
    My heart can't take much more of this.
  13. Soul
    I know. But cannot have a power shot here either.
  14. Soul
    It was rather horrible.
  15. Soul
    Come on. Strike 1.
  16. Soul
    Hart is the new Cub killer. I just couldn't think of letting Fielder hit there. But Hart isn't much better. Damn you Demp, get it the hell done.
  17. Soul
    Put Fielder on, don't let him hit here.
  18. Soul
    Put Braun on.
  19. Soul
    Demp is going to blow the save. Damn.
  20. Soul
    Kewl! Just wanted to see it. Now I can die.
  21. Soul
    NO, DAMMIT! You had a walk, don't K Sori!
  22. Soul
    Somebody better get their ass in gear 'cuz the Crew just read our signs on that one.
  23. Soul
    So I guess Sori is going to be either a horrible-looking K or a home run now. That's a hell of a way to staff the leadoff spot.
  24. Soul
    NO! So damn close.
  25. Soul
    Just wanted to say... That's about the worst strike call I've ever seen. I'll take it, but whoever that ump is should be ashamed. That was 2 feet off the plate outside, in a critical situation in a playoff race. If I was commish, that guy's next game would be in the minors. Terrible.
