Our starters ERA is 4.08 which is the 12th best in baseball, far from embarrassing.

What are the chances he gets called up for the start on Monday against the Cardinals?

triple play coming??

According to Gameday the strikezone is huge

um, ryno? yea

B squared is giving away tickets to today's game. Listen and call in to answer the trivia question. The question is Who was the first cub to participate in the Home Run Derby in 1985? 773-831-4663

tremendous picture, but please don't do this says the guys with the canucks golf club logo. ;)

I'm not surprised. I think it's a dumb move, but I'm excited to see what he does.

Sounds like you're describing me. yea, but we know you're only here for the wings.

good thing he pinch ran for Soto, he wouldn't have scored on that.

stupid fans doing the wave. :evil:

I heard Carrie posts here under a pseudonym. redivycub?

what did he say? When Geo came to bat Pat said, "Soto batting .362, not bad for you eighth hitter."

I'm sure most of you have seen this article on fangraphs. It says Silva is using his change up more this year, so he is able to get lefties out, which is the reason for his improvement. I think Rothschild should get credit for this one.

we were lucky to lock him up this offseason

Excellent. Though he better keep his head up tomorrow night. Especially if the Hawks have a couple-goal lead near the end of the game. hossa seems like a slightly dirty, but not overly nasty player. he's probably had his share of people come after him, he'll know what to do. I agree with the first part of that and I hope you're right about the second part. And since Hamhuis wasn't really hurt, I doubt he'll get it too bad as long as the game stays close. But please, please let's finish these guys off tomorrow. If yesterday's game showed anything, it's that we can dominate that team to a ridiculous level, almost completely shut them off from scoring chances, and still have a very good chance of losing. On a side note, yesterday's game was the first home Hawks game I've been to since 2001. And that was a Detroit game (the only games they sold out in those days) and it was about 1/3 or more Wangs fans. That game yesterday was probably the most awesome sporting event I've ever been to live, and the only thing close is the last Bulls game at the Stadium (Game 6 vs. Knicks in 1994 when Pippen posterized Ewing on the baseline). A lot of folks complain about the "new" Blackhawks fan, that they try to turn the UC into a Wrigley atmosphere, don't know anything about hockey, etc. No way. I was really proud of how knowledgeable the fans at the game were. Applauding the little plays that started rushes or broke up chances, stuff like that. And that place was obviously completely bonkers when Kane and Hossa scored their goals. It was really awesome to see for someone who dealt with the almost 15 years of [expletive] that was Blackhawks hockey. I'm really glad we drove up. And on another side note, Gino's East [expletive] rules. you're lucky you went because of the storm passing through STL (you may have noticed the carnage :roll: ) NBC decided to break in every 5 min for a 20 min update, it wasn't until late in the 3rd they started leaving the game up in a little corner of the screen.

what happened here, why didn't he go to third? The pitch was at Gorz's head and he really only hit it trying to protect himself. It went up the 3b line, making it impossible to advance to 3b. Wright checked the runner back before he threw to 1b. thanks everybody, I'm watching on Gameday and watching the Bulls on TV so I was confused.

what happened here, why didn't he go to third?

he just said on B Squared that he felt that last night was his best start this year.

what's the over/under for when Fred makes all the game threads and 90% of the post within it?

Administrative Professionals Day?

And making his determination that Soto isn't hitting enough after 2 games is asinine The question is , Is Soto a Jerome Walton in the making? ROY then bust Do you realize he's hitting .286/.459/.429 right now? Lou doesn't seem to, so why should anyone else? I laughed during the game Monday when one of the ESPN announcers (Boone?) said something about Soto getting off to a slow start.

against the astros too.

he pitched Weds. didn't he?

because Grabow was up before the rally started. watching the replay of Lee's homerun on Gameday, I thought Fontenot was the bat boy waiting at the plate to congratulate Lee.
