You won't see better home field calls than what he had too

Should really be a 1-0 game. Lester threw he same borderline pitch 3 times in a row with no help from the ump. Closes the inning in the first. With bases loaded and no outs you bring home at least one runner on a sac fly or bunt.

I wouldn't call our stranding runners fluky, as Miller has done that to everybody.

But this was a close game. No worries. We made miller work, and didn't let Francona get him out of there, so that has to help.

With no outs tho? You can't tell me you can't bring one home with two outs available.

However you won't see cold bats from the top of the order as they been this game.

Burger looks like he did some studying while sidelined. It will be interesting to see how madden uses him in wrigley. Quality at bats.

He isn't pitching tomorrow, and like I said, cubs saw him really well. Except Russell.

If I ever get a fatal disease and have a few weeks to live, Buck is the first one on my list. America will honor me after my death.

He can't be top-3, right?

1. McCaskey Family, and JA with them
2. $Bill Wirtz
3. Jim Fucking Hendry (and bury him along the carcasses of Soriano and Marmol)

Keep taking out the relievers who are getting 'em out, Joe.

Rightie-Lefty.

Notice that Miller stayed in for Bryant and Rizzo? Were you watching?

Rondon just cannot throw a quality slider for a strike right now. Fortunately, a favorable matchup tomorrow.

Try hustling instead of perfecting your bat flip, dummy.

Wow, it cost him the extra base in a 6-0 game in the bottom of the ninth.

Why db't you focus instead on the fact that Chisenhall should have caught that?

I'm so sick of watching these young kids not bust it out of the box. Even Javy has done it. I really wonder if Maddon ever even addresses it. Hustle!
