Well, that sucked.

That's the first BB the CUBS have given up all night. Go CUBS !!

The only 9th inning runs the CUBS have given up in their last 20 games were on D Lee's grand slam last Saturday. Go CUBS !!

CUBS are 50-29 when they score 4 runs or more.... 12-52 when they don't CUBS are 50-44 when they get at least 8 hits .... 12-37 when they don't Go CUBS !!

How 'bout them CUBBIES ???
