CUBS are 14-12 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 4-14 when they do Go CUBS !!

Willingham flied out (foul) to the second baseman

Cabrera popped out (foul) to first base

Uggla walked

Ramirez stole second base

CUBS are 15-6 when they score first in the game.... 3-20 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Ramirez walked

This is actually a good sign. 9 pitches in the inning translates to 3.00 P/PA. For the last 5 games, we're at 2.85 P/PA !! Go CUBS !!

more drugs plz. I gotta get up for this game. Now... where is my prozac ?? :wink:

I just don't know how to respond to that. :shrug:

Badger is my new buddy. He is just cracking wise on me because of a game day thread the other nite. I assailed ARam (pre-streak), which upset the sensibilities of those present because we all must follow blindly the opinions of the group and not have ideas of our own. Yes, but have you learned your lesson yet ?? :wink:

Not that he hasn't been horrendous, but you have to take into account Pierre has Blanco, Perez, Jones (when he was succking) and the pitcher hitting in front of him.

Is it just my imagination, or is Williamson's delivery looking a whole lot more like Maddux's than it used to ?

Let's just hope they keep pitching him low and inside !!

Through the first 6 innings the CUBS are seeing 3.29 P/PA.

CUBS are 0-4 when the temperature is above 75 degrees. Go CUBS !!

Hell, he bounced it off the outfield wall !!
