Going into a rain delay. Called it before the rain came but it was the right decision. Field shouldnt take long to get right after a supposive fast moving front.

More rain in the forecast. They arent going to make people wait. Game suspended until tom. Cubs have had over 24 hours of rain delay this year. 8 Games have been delayed against the Reds. lol Players must hate rain now.

Shit, I hate rain. It ruins every sporting event except football. Cubs have had a lot of it this year, too.

Interesting what JD said..
its typical for a manager to use their closer in this situation...

Home team using their closer in a non save situation in top of 9th to preserve the tie and give team a chance to win in bottom of inning.

A homerun here for Baez could do wonders for this kid going forward.. could be the springboard he needs

@Cubs: #Cubs lineup vs. #Pirates, 4:45 CT start: Alcantara 2B, Baez SS, Soler RF, Castillo C, Valaika 3B, Olt 1B, Lake LF, Szczur CF, Doubront P

I see Lake already starting and in LF, I just hope RR not under pressure to give him AB over Coghlin to get his value up for off season trade

I am eager to see what Olt and Lake can or can't do at this point.

I don't expect much from wither, especially Lake, but I would be very pleasantly surprised if Olt can actually hit the ball.

I'd like to see Lake get back to where he was last year. The .280 Lake was good. 2014 Lake, not so good.

Junior has physical tools. If only someone gave him some instruction.

I doubt he'll ever be much. There are tons of guys with speed who aren't major league players.

Meanwhile, I see Javy has struck out again. For God's sake, let's not let him get to a point where he can't be salvaged.He has tremendous potential. All he needs to do is tame that swing. He has enough power to hit it out without swinging like a mad man.
