IST: Cubs @ Dodgers

[TL1961]

For all his struggles tonight, getting through that 5th with the score 3-2 ends up being an acceptable start.

He hurt himself with all the walks, but 3 runs isn't as bad as it could have been.

As has been said a million times - including a few times by me - IT IS A PLEASURE LISTENING TO VIN SCULLY.

All the games I watch with the Cards' announcers who are flat out horrible, as well as many so-so guys around baseball, makes Vin that much more enjoyable.

Even his errors don't bother me. (Said Bryant hit 16 HRs last year and Fowler came to the Cubs this year.) But what a calm, BS-free broadcast!

Fowler looks tired.

Terrible AB's from most everyone tonight....that's how you let mediocre pitching beat you.

 

[TL1961]

Good thing we got Edwards out of there.

 

[A.C. Milan]

Yesssssss

 

[SilenceS]

Tie game! Heyward with probably his biggest hit as a Cub. lol

 

[A.C. Milan]

Chapman must go two inning here

 

[A.C. Milan]

Surely Kobe isn't in the top 5

Mr. Loopyswing. He just piles on home runs. He sucks against teams over .500. He doesnt have the RBI's. Def. not in the top 5. He is terrible.

Magic number now 22

 

[Mr. Cub]

And that gents, is our MVP. Now I'm pissed I had to go to the store and missed it.

 

[Doubledown]

In his second year, Kris is just a beast. I can't believe the Cubs have players like Bryant, Rizzo, and Russell. Everything the Cubs management did, it mostly came out roses. Hendry gave away minor leaguers for aging players. Now the Cubs young players in their prime. I'm excited to see this team compete year after year like the Red Sox, Yanks, Giants, and Braves during their prime years.

Damn it.....feel asleep with the Dodgers hitting in the 9th.

Missed my guy doing this....

These cubs are nowhere near being in their prime. Lackey and Hammel are probably just passing theirs, Lester is in his, Rizzo is close, but Bryant, soler, baez, Russell, Schwarber have not even started sniffing their prime.

Lester is past his prime.
