I voted for 1 as usual but we're so getting swept :lol:

 

[Rice Cube]

It was kind of a foregone conclusion but I just realized that today's loss guarantees the Cubs a losing record for the season.

 

[Rice Cube]

You guys can hunt down the lineups and Gameday on your own while my computer is doing a scandisk.

 

[Mr. Cub]

LaRoche>>> Samardzija.

Gameday:

That was quite a foul ball by Soriano. Too bad this ain't cricket.

 

[Rice Cube]

Very nice of the Nats to spot us a run :lol: Silly scoreboard.

 

[Rice Cube]

Cubs couldn't score that fake run anyway.

 

[Rice Cube]

First Cubs catcher pickoff play for the season :woot:

 

[Mr. Cub]

Sweet. Sappelt, a Cub who can get on base.

 

[Rice Cube]

Hey, Castro got on base TWICE

 

[Mr. Cub]

Hey, Castro got on base TWICE

Usually, that is what he does. So he doesn't count.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Shitty Cub offense. Geo has hit a 3 run HR today. We could use one.

 

[Rice Cube]

Samardzija's ERA is now under 4. He will probably still lose.

 

[Rice Cube]

This is probably Samardzija's exit. Six strong innings, his spot due up fourth in the inning.

 

[Rice Cube]

Samardzija will probably start the seventh now since his buddies GIDP'd :fist:

 

[Mr. Cub]

Why can't the Cubs score for their best pitchers? They were like this last year when Garza pitched, or the blowpen would waste his outing.

 

[Rice Cube]

The Cubs are not good at baseball.

 

[Rice Cube]

Thankfully Joe Mather can at least pretend to play defense.
