Comments

he's not playing the Padres so I'm not worried. :) Plus Michael Barrett isn't catching... I think we'll go about 80-5 from here on out.

Soriano v. Hart ... Advantage Cubs Fontenot v. Hardy ... Advantage Cubs Lee v. Braun ... Advantage Cubs Ramirez v. Fielder ... Advantage Brewers Floyd v. Hall ... Advantage Cubs Derosa v. Estrada ... Advantage Cubs Bowen v. Mench ... Advantage Brewers Pie v. Weeks ... Advantage Brewers Gallardo v. Hill ... Advantage Cubs Bring it!

Uh-oh.....Hill is wild..Floyd can't catch a ball with that piano on his back...

Fontenot v. Hardy … Advantage Cubs Really? I know Fontenot has been hot, but better than Hardy? I don't know about that...

Yeah the Brewers are overrated, and playing overt their heads... Sweep 'em Cubs!!! Huh?

Q: Will history note that the great 6 game win streak and the rising hopes of Cub fans everywhere were dashed in one half of an inning or will this be the sequel to the Monday Night Miracle? A: This is the Cubs, what do you think?

45 pitches in the first...ouch!!! We have been hitting good, so we can come back...But Hill needs to wake up.

FFFFAAAAAACCCCK Well at least I won't have anything to distract me from real WORK this afternoon

7 pitch first inning... geh. This is what gets me frustrated with Cubs teams. They just watched a team string together a huge first inning through patience at the dish. And then they retaliate by swinging at everything. You come back from five runs down with baserunners.

so who kidnapped the rich hill of april 2007? derek, i had the identical reaction as you did in 16.

attaboy, Rich. let's hope Marshall doesn't flop in the first meaningful start of his career as well.

Did Greg Maddux call Mike Maddux and let him know how Rich is tipping his pitches? I can't see the game is Eyre warming up yet? I predict the cubs will score 4 in the bottom of the 8th off Turnbow and then strand the bases loaded with no outs and whimper off in the ninth. At least Pie is looking at a lot of pitches; send him back down to teach him it's OK to swing again.

pie's 4 hits in the last 1/2 month are deceptive. theyve been scrappy, clutch, and gritty...hell, that's as good 40 hits. MVP!!!

i didnt call this game on pie. pretty clear that r.hill and fontenot get blame before anyone else so far...esp. mr. hill. but yeah...pie and his stellar D in CF is hitting like crap. sorry, i didnt do it...pie did.

Hey, Brewers -- we got the message. Wow, talk about getting smacked in the mouth.

actually, this performance from hill can't have caught THAT many by surprise... hell, the celebrated winning streak came against two mediocre-to-poor clubs.

The difference between Pie and CPat is that people who don't know baseball can't see the difference between them. One has genuine baseball instincts, one doesn't. One is teachable, the other isn't. I say send the kind back down and find that short stroke again.

Hmm, maybe all that talk about Felix needing to be more selective was wrong...?

Fat Bruce Froemmmmmmmmminggg...I can't wait till stubby is officially retired. Unfortuntately he is a (marginally) walking advertisement to use an electronic strike zone.

I really like DeRosa’s ABs! He seems to have a clue about making the pitcher work! I'd say the same thing about Bowen, except he seems to have less of a clue of how to hit the ball when it comes time to do that.

poor felix. sounds like he's seen a couple of borderline backwards K's. or just sucks.

i dont understand why you dont let petrick hit and then send him out for one more inning you damn well wuertz will put runners on chances are they will score

It always makes you feel good when a pitcher does not throw one single stirke to the first batter they face...

And now Pie is leading off the next inning. The Brewers are playing right into the Cub's plan...

Argh!!

Pagan, Pie, and Fontenot come through, while Soriano and Lee let us down. C'mon ARAM!

Derrek -- That would have been a really, REALLY good time for your first HR since June 3rd. Or even your first RBI since June 21st. Today is June 29th. Marmol in the 8th inning??

I can't Mench is the difference so far. Prior to today, his last HR came on April 24th.

Funny, my XM showed "End 8th" before Pie even hit the ball..... I've always felt that if you see when a guy has the goods to be a dominant player (Strawberry, Pujols, A-Rod, Griffey, etc..) . Yeah, some guys here or there develop, but they'll never will reach that top status. Based on what I've seen, Pie will NEVER reach the potential the Cubs see in him.

I hate the thought that we lost this game before we got to the plate. Please prove me wrong Cubs.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG

I just may get in trouble, but I couldn't help it. Hughes yells "There's a drive..." I stand up and screamed "GET OUT!" with my hands in the air and "YEAH!" Everyone in the office looking at me.... My cell phone starts blowing up... Unbelievable....

Great win. Way to battle back from coughing up the 5-spot early. Ask any manager: last ups are huge.

Alright!!! Keep going Cubs, can't wait to go home tonight and see hi-lights!!! CUBS WIN!!!!!!

These aren't the Cubs, are they? Sure don't look like 'em. Round of applause for the bullpen pitching a scoreless 8 innings. Petrick looks good, Marmol looks great. What a day!

When I was talking to my Dad around the 4th inning, he said my uncle was was so disgusted after the first inning, he turned the game off and headed to his cabin in Wisconsin early....HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Last walkoff was when---? how many this year, relative to halfway point in prior "good" years?

.500 6.5 outta 1st. hopefully 4.5 out by the weekend's end.

"A-Gonz provided many walk offs back in 2K3" I must have erased those from my memories when he botched that double play ball.

I hate not having a local radio show to listen to (although I heard the Score is all Sox station now except for Murph). I hate that XM cuts the post game out. I hate that I'm at work and can't watch CSN right now. I hate that I have NO ONE to talk in the office right now.

Moises's was with the score tied. Sammy had just tied it. Does anyone remember a walkoff homer with the Cubs behind?

Vegas Brian- Boers and Bernstein very much support the Cubs. Boers actually picked Cubs to go to World Series.

45. Rynox — June 29, 2007 @ 2:13 pm Comeback coming up, stay tuned… ------------------------ Called it.

I said in post #9 "Q: Will history note that the great 6 game win streak and the rising hopes of Cub fans everywhere were dashed in one half of an inning or will this be the sequel to the Monday Night Miracle? A: This is the Cubs, what do you think? " I don't know about you, but I for sure thought that this would be the sequel to the Monday Night Miracle.

I don’t know about you, but I for sure thought that this would be the sequel to the Monday Night Miracle. -------------------------- I sure didn't. I'm not accustomed to this whole optimism thing yet. Getting there though!

Hard to tell with a post, but I was being a little tongue-in-cheek Rich. I was with you.

    he's a low-level cubs star in the modern history of the cubs (c.zambrano, k.wood, r.dempster, etc), but that star has dimmed...and has been dimming since 2021.

    2024 has been ugly the whole way and we're only in mid-april.  homers aside (even though there's been 7 in 17ip) he gave up 29 hits in 20 spring innings and 31 in 17 regular season innings.

    he's pretty much only got 2 pitches at this point in his career and the mix isn't fooling anyone.  he threw a noticable amount more curves in his last start to add to the mix and it didn't help his issues.  he don't have many moves left to break out.

    Definitely needs a 10 day stint for the hangnail - have to nip those things in the bud or suffer the consequences (ie, more opponent home run derby, etc)

  • Eric S (view)

    Thanks for checking and yeah, that’s a double ouch

  • Sonicwind75 (view)

    Believe you are correct, checked and appears Cubs have a $2.51 million obligation to Barnhart this season per Cot's Contracts.  Also paying Trey Mancini $7mil this season.  Ouch.  

  • crunch (view)

    m.busch had 0hr and 2 doubles when he was last at wrigley.

    we'll probably see a few more of his jerseys in the seats when they return tomorrow.

    wonder who will go down for taillon.  hey hendricks, you got a hangnail or something?

  • Eric S (view)

    Nice work by Wesneski with some solid defense behind him and the late tack on runs were welcome. Gladly take a 5-4 West Coast swing, particularly down two key starting pitchers … Now just don’t get swept by the Marlins for Pete’s sake. 

  • crunch (view)

    dansby takes the team lead in SB today after a SB with 2 SB total.  the team has 3.  madrigal has the other one.

    cubs also have 7 triples, 7 players each.

  • crunch (view)

    sure am ready for p.wisdom and m.masterboney to swap roster spots.

  • Eric S (view)

    The fifth inning has not been kind to Wicks this season. Giving up leadoff doubles to Tucker Barnhart is also not good for business. IIRC, the Cubs are on the hook for the majority of Barnhart’s salary this season to add insult to injury (could definitely be wrong here).

    Kris Bryant to IL with low back strain. He’s keeping the Rockies docs busy.
