Rich Hill's flyball tendencies and big curve meet the thin air of Denver where he's 0-2 with 10.1 IP and an 11.32 ERA over his career. The Rockies counter with one of their many heroes from last year's late season surge to the NL pennant, Franklin Morales.

gaaaaaaaame time. woo!

If anyone has RCN in Chicago CSN+ is channel 371. It took me forever to find it so I figured I would save someone the effort
#3 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Is anyone trying to watch the game on comcast HD (174)? I've got no sound on that channel...booooooo.
#4 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
I had no sound on my CSN+ HD feed at the start of the game, but it's working fine now...
#5 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
I can't get Mlb.tv to load the game. Neither firefox or explorer works. Give me back my money!
#6 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
I've been watching on MLB.tv since the start of the game, no problem.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble :(
#7 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
I'm officially off the Murton bandwagon.
#8 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
yeah, horrible timing for a strike out. Should've put Ward up there instead.
#9 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Yea, the strikeout was rough, but in the bigger picture, Murton does not seem to be developing at all. I don't think we've seen enough of him to say for certain that he is regressing, but you'd like to see some growth out of the guy.
#12 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
I think I'm starting to see why Murton wasn't called up right away when Soriano went down. Something is wrong with his swing; he's just not this bad. What is with the long stretches of pounding the ball into the ground? This is a guy who needs to hit the ball in the air more. He isn't Juan Pierre, and it isn't even working for Juan these days.
#10 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Yes!!!! A-RAM gives us back the lead in the top of the 9th with a two run shot :)
#11 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Man, was that huge. Let's hope Woody can close this one out.
#13 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Well, they tied it up, but atleast Kerry got 3 K's....and didn't let them get ahead.
#14 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Good to see Theriot come through with the RBI.
I think there may be just as many Cub fans in the stands there :)
#15 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
9 games over.
#16 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Wow, it sure is exciting to see the Cubs win another game they probably could have easily lost (and most certainly would have blown in 2007).
#17 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Cubs win!!!
I think I like this team...
#18 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Today's game was full of drama, but turned out the right way for Cubs fans. I'll take it as long as it's a W. A-Ram, Soto, Lee, and Cedeno all had very nice days at the plate, while Theriot came through late.
#19 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
10,000 wins. Congratulations, Chicago Cubs.
#20 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
is this team serious?
is this heaven?
#21 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
GO Cubs!!
#22 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
got to give Lou alot of credit for how he uses his players----again, no position player left on bench when game ended---he goes for the victory now, doesn't worry about next inning----in both of Woods blown saves, Pitt and tonight, he didn't lose the game after giving up the tying run--that shows alot, good to see him k the side also---total team victory, only players not in game were Hart and the other starting pitchers(Marquis ran in 10th)--great game!!!
#26 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
"-again, no position player left on bench when game ended---he goes for the victory now, doesn't worry about next inning----in both of Woods blown saves,"
Just like in game 1 of the NLDS when he pulled Zambrano? Also, for the record, it's Wood. Not Woods. Woods is a really really good golfer.
#27 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Pretty sure that was just a plural that he missed the apostrophe on..."In both of Wood's blown saves..."
#53 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
That is my bad then and I apologize.
#23 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
What an awesome game. Another decent showing by R-Ced. And Soto cannot be stopped. I love this team.
#24 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
Nice win. Would have liked to see Wood close it out in the 9th but the result is the same. This team is firing on all cylinders right now. Lets go for the sweep!
#25 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
And the Cubs are tied for the best record in baseball.
#28 Re: Game 21 Thread / Cubs @ Rockies (1 of 2)
So great to see the Cubs playing so well. I really like this team. Having been to 5 home games this year it really is a different feel around Wrigley. The players just seem different. It is amazing.
I honestly don't want Soriano to come back. This is a TEAM right now and Soriano is the farest from a team player there is. All he cares about is himself and getting what is best for him. If he didn't he wouldn't insist upon hitting lead-off.
I love to see Cedeno and Soto playing the way they are; all we can hope is that this continues.

I'm so tired of reading this. Since Soriano has been on the Cubs, when has he "insisted" on leading off? All I have ever seen him say was that he "prefers" leadoff but will bat wherever Lou wants him to.
From today's Trib:
He (Soriano) said he expects to bat first when he returns but will do whatever Piniella tells him to do.

How does anyone interpret this comment as Soriano being a selfish player that is insisting he lead off? What am I missing?
