My God, why can't we get the same zone that the Dodgers are getting ????

[Praying for a miracle]

Nice throw by Cedeno there !!

CUBS are 59-5 when they lead after 7 innings Go CUBS !!!

When Lee looks bad..... he looks really bad !!

Uncle Lou ain't laughing.

That was Lilly's first walk of the night. CUBS are 30-15 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 41-52 when they don't Go CUBS !!!

Joe West is the southern end of a northbound horse !!!

Ask, and ye shall receive !! :wink:

Sure was pleasantly surprised to find that the local cable provider here in Adairsville, GA carries WGN !!! :D'

Soriano swinging at a lot of pitches out of the zone !!

Nah.... he hit this one to the shortstop.

God.... even when Murton makes the play, he scares me !!

It's a misperception that the CUBS aren't getting on base recently........ CUBS' hitters during the last 7 games...... 08/29 - 09/04 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP last 7 games 229 22 60 8 0 7 89 21 22 37 0.262 0.335 0.389 0.723 0.286 season totals 4769 621 1280 282 23 111 1941 588 416 884 0.268 0.329 0.407 0.736 0.310 They are getting on base..... it's their power numbers that are in the toilet.

What a bunch of crap. And to think I left home for this ????

Which one am I missing? Ward hit into one, Jacque into three...did Kendall take care of the other one? OK.... it's only 4 GIDPs. Lee, Jones, Kendall & Ward. That last double play was a line drive that was caught, not a GIDP.

You gotta go back at least to 2003 to find the last time the CUBS GIDP'd 5 times in a game. [sigh]

.......... and 5 GIDPs is a season high for the CUBS. Go CUBS !!

Actually..... CUBS are 1-0 when they hit into 4 double plays. Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 0-27 when they trail by 4 runs or more at the end of eight innings. Go CUBS !!!

CUBS are 57-40 when they get at least 8 hits..... 13-26 when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS pitchers have given up 10 or more hits 3 times in their last 18 games Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 0-31 when they trail by 3 runs or more at the end of 7 innings. Go CUBS !!!

That one will take some doing..... let me put that on the back burner for the time being. i suspected it might. if it's too much work, absolutely don't worry about it. i was just curious as to how it would compare to qs. Not exactly what you were asking, but I did come up with this....... ERA losses wins Starters 6.33 2.47 Relievers 5.35 1.79 Overall 5.95 2.28
