2013-04-09 Brewers (Peralta) at Cubs (Wood), 7:05 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 6-3. Yes, bullpen.]

[PrinceEatMeat]

Oh Cubs, you are terrible.

[chickinbrickin]

Castro def < yuni lol

[PrinceEatMeat]

Hit every ball to Starlin Castro. That's the solution tonight.

[ELCABALLO45]

Just keep hitting towards Castro, Guys.

[rluzinski]

This is getting funnier and funnier. Castros makes a nice diving stop. His shovel to the 2B to try and get the force went about 4 inches, though.

[chickinbrickin]

*** Lucroy, where did the great approach with RISP go?

[pebadger]

I'm holding PrinceEatMeat and ElCaballo45 responsible for the GIDP. Sure, we were all thinking the same thing but you guys wrote it.

[ELCABALLO45]

Hahahaha that is true.

 

No more hitting it at Castro unless he has to make a good play on it, then keep doing it.

[afeter]

how much is castro making on the side tonight?

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job by Big Willie making a bad hitter swing the bat with the pitcher on deck.

[Tim_Unroe_Helped]

It seems that the Cubs may need a late innings defensive replacement at shortstop. Perhaps they'll take Yuni off our hands?

[rluzinski]

That's why they give you a glove Weeks. Use it.

[ELCABALLO45]

Bill just contradicted himself.

 

Ummm.. Rickie?

[moofnelson]

That's our Rickie. Ending rallies on offense, starting rallies on defense.

[Brewnittle]

Umm rickie glove? Pls

[Dean Machine]

Rickie's effort and decision making can be questioned the last few games.

[ELCABALLO45]

Yuni flys out, Willy walks. Seems right.

[ELCABALLO45]

Weeks crushed that ball.

[dlk9s]

That's our Rickie. Ending rallies on offense, starting rallies on defense.

Ryan Braun needs to turn around at those idiot Cub fans chanting at him and chant back

 

"Cub fans" "Cub fans"

[Yeti73]

I'm sure I'm going to jinx things, but this is going to be a loooong season in Wrigleyville this year. They've conditioned the fans to expect it, so they'll still do alright from an attendance perspective, but those tickets are going to be tough to sell in September.

nice ... Lets go Braunie

[Yeti73]

Braun should just turn around and cite his stats at Wrigley:

 

.381 Average, .427 OBP, .587 SLG, 1.014 OPS.

 

Also, Brewers are 21-6 in their last 27 vs the Cubbies.

The tickets are already sold. You'll just be able to walk up and get a lower bowl seat for $5 on the street day of game. Just like every year when they are losing games.

Right, but there are going to be a lot of season ticket holders 'eating' tickets. That first weekend in September when the crew is there should be easy to get to. Hopefully it matters for us...
