Dempster has got to do something about all those walks.

CUBS are 12-3 when they lead by 1 run after 8 innings. Go CUBS !!

What's with all these walks ?? Don't they realize they're clogging the bases ?? CUBS are 27-14 when they take 4 or more walks, 48-65 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Radical concept, there.

Wow !! Macias was lucky to hang on to that ball after the tag !

Actually, Murton has done surprisingly poorly in the 7th slot. Maybe he should bat first or second, no? Murton AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS batting 7th 26 5 5 0 1 1 10 2 2 4 0.192 0.250 0.385 0.635

Patterson walked ?? :shock:

CUBS are 33-20 when they steal a base, 43-59 when they don't Go CUBS !!

BEERNUTS !!

CUBS with 4 hits yesterday, so far 3 today.... gonna win a lot of games this way, no?

CUBS are 3-13 when the opponents triple, 72-65 when they don't. Go CUBS !!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Tot CUBS 57 78 73 99 61 115 69 71 50 673 Opponents 87 84 61 70 111 61 70 82 53 679 On average, the CUBS score 74.8 runs per inning, and they give up 75.4. Their total given up for the first inning is a little higher than you might expect, but I'm just as concerned about their offensive total. 57 first inning runs is not good at all.

I never tracked it by the number of hits Neifi has..... but CUBS are 11-13 when Neifi hits leadoff CUBS are 32-35 when Neifi bats second CUBS are 2-4 when Neifi bats sixth CUBS are 17-17 when Neifi bats seventh CUBS are 1-4 when Neifi bats eighth Basically what you are saying is that we lose anytime that Neifi is in the lineup? Not exactly.... that was supposed to read "CUBS are 32-25 when Neifi bats second" So.... the CUBS are 63-63 when Neifi starts...... 11-13 when he doesn't. What's the dif ???

CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !! CUBS WIN !!

Maddux's ERA for the 2nd half down to 3.54 overall he's at 4.16 What are you using as a measuring point for the beginning of the second half ?

Pushes him up .306 ba for the 2nd half of the year. That's gotta be a mistake. Everyone knows he had a great month of April, and hasn't done spit since then. :wink:

Neifi Perez is now 3 for 4.... which represents half of our team's hit total ?? :shock:
