You're pretty quick there with the edit !! :wink: I was in middle of complaining about being ninja'd when the play happened. You were trying to peddle some BS about there being a silver lining (another Rizzo AB) to blowing a 4 run 9th inning lead. ..... and you know better !!!

Well, it's cooled off all the way down to 88 degrees out here. Think I'll venture out to the back yard and have a smoke.

You're pretty quick there with the edit !! :wink:

Is this gonna be like one of them CUBS' rallies ????

Last time the CUBS allowed 7 BBs in a game.... Tue 03 Jul 2012 (9 BBs) in a 10-3 loss at Atlanta Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 1-7 (.125) when they allow 7 or more walks.... 30-43 (.411) when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 4-12 (.250) when they allow 6 or more walks.... 27-38 (.415) when they don't Go CUBS !!

Paging good Marmol............ Paging good Marmol............

CUBS are 19-46 (.292) when they allow 5 or more walks.... 26-32 (.448) when they don't Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 3-16 (.158) when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 28-35 (.444) when they don't Go CUBS !!

.........it's like deja vu, all over again !!!

CUBS have only given up one 9th inning run in their last 19 games..... and the was the meaningless 9th inning HR to break up the 6-0 shutout the last time Travis Wood beat Sanatana & Los Mets. Go CUBS !!

Where oh where is that elusive triple ?? edit: not there, that's for sure !!

CUBS haven't scored a 9th inning run in their last 16 games. Go CUBS !!

? I know it's not the format you're used to seeing from me..... but the CUBS have allowed exactly 4 runs in the game 7 times this year. They've won 2 and lost 5. edit: of course, when you're sitting here with 8 in the bank..... well, ..... who give's a rat's butt, eh?

CUBS are 27-2 (.931) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 4-48 (.077) when they don't Go CUBS !!
