Cubs up 3-2 in the 8th. Blah.

[LUKE232323]

Can we catch a break with the Cubs already? This is ridiculous.

[Hate those Rodents]

I think Mo Williams goes to lots of Brewer games.

I hear ya, bit we just have to take care of our business and not look back.

Rickie's last RBI: June 26

last multi-RBI game: May 21

 

I remember when I would cringe at seeing Graffy in the lineup at 2nd. Now...

[splitterpfj]

That Fielder fellow may have a future in this game.

[Mike Felder]

Prince flashing the leather this inning!

[brewmann04]

we need to create our own Breaks and realize the Cubs Are playing one of the best baseball as of late.

The problem is that Graffy is 35 and has been terrible as well.

Yost should have pulled the plug on Bush to start the 7th with 94 pitches.

 

(By the way, this was posted just seconds before the Drew homer. )

Must resist... pushing... panic button. I am starting to have the annual "Oh my God, the sky is falling" moment of the season.

Ned has been quick on the trigger lately.

 

Shouse, do your job please.

[crossface21]

At least Yost is pulling him now. Earlier in the season, Yost would let him keep going.

[ELCABALLO45]

Ugh Bush. Anyone watching the Arizona broadcast... how is D. Sutton doing?

[moofnelson]

Sure would be nice if one of our starters could at least make it through 7 innings once in a while.

[adambr2]

Good decision by Ned to get Bush out of there now. Don't want to see anything resembling a big inning here.

 

Shouse isn't my first choice here, though. With all righties coming up?

[rluzinski]

I hate people want to pull the starting pitcher when he has 80 pitches but with 94, you may not even get another inning anyway. Yost probably was hoping Bush could handle the bottom of the order.

[Mike Felder]

Shouse versus a righty...strap yourself in...

[Fear The Chorizo]

Please tell me Augie Ojeda isn't going to do anything productive here...

 

----------------

[crossface21]

So far, so good.

[rluzinski]

I really wish Yost used Shouse as a true LOOGY....

[crossface21]

So far, so good.

[Mike Felder]

WOW, strike one to Chris Young was a gift.

 

EDIT: Phew!

[Fear The Chorizo]

wow ned...playing with fire here

[crossface21]

Great job by Shouse!
