So the Cubs lost tonight.

Better luck tomorrow and Sunday

 

[Mr. Cub]

Bad game for Shark. And our atrocious offense..... We had like 8 doubles and 3 runs..

 

[dabynsky]

Bernadina (spelling?) with another perfect throw from right.

 

[Rice Cube]

Hey, the Cubs are winning.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Hey, the Cubs are winning.

We actually won. Even scored 8 runs! Whoo we are on fire!!

Why "win stat" is the best!!!

Why "win stat" is the best!!!

Where's bearz99 to defend the importance of the "win stat" total. Strasburg and E-Jax are both 1-5 this year. I guess that makes them equal. :rolling:

I believe someone on this board said it the other day -- but given E-Jax's consistency throughout his career, you'd have to assume his numbers will level out by the end of the year. Yesterday was a good first step towards that, he pitched well. Would still like to see him routinely get into the 7th inning, but I'm not sure that's every really been part of his game.

180+ IP suggests that he can get into the 7th and beyond every now and then. Wouldn't worry about him eating innings.

Castro-Ransom top of the order. These guys need to set the table today.

 

[chibears55]

win stats not all that important but get a starter that can go 7 ip and allow 3 runs or less consistently and youll get a 15+ winner every year at the top of your rotation..
problem is, your not going to find many of those these days..

now GMs and managers are happy with guys who could go 6IP and basically just try to keep your team in the game..

 

[dabynsky]

Love the getaway day approach from Cubs hitters so far.

 

[dabynsky]

Gio Gonzalez is perfect through 3.

 

[dabynsky]

Castro having a pretty nice game defensively so far.

 

[Mr. Cub]

I think we are going to get no-hit, if not perfected.... Where's Adrian Cardenas when you need him?

It isn't looking good for the streak...

 

[dabynsky]

Streak lives! Dioner Navarro with an infield single. #YCPB

Tie Game!!!! Awesome baserunning by Wood and a clutch two out hit from Castro.
