I just dropped in to say...

… can we never, EVER let Bob Howry near a major league mound again?

Thank you. I’m out of here again. Let’s win this game!

I think if Howry was on the playoff roster

And we had a 5-7 run lead late in the game, and he came in and blew it…I think I’d kill myself.

There is no way to defend him staying on the team. Activate Lieber from the DL and DFA Howry.

Good hit RJ!

I do agree, I have no idea how Lou is going to trust Howry in a relief situation when he gives up runs like these. He has to keep his composure and pitch no matter the situation.

He had a 7 run lead! Pretty good situation.

I can’t see the game, did he lose his composure? I think he’s got to go.

nice...you know I have a theory...

the title “the dark Knight” does not refer to batman directly (point to the history of the comic all you want). Rather it points to the arc of the story of Harvey “the White Knight of Gotham” turning into a “dark” merchant of vengence.

But I don’t believe in Ward, the injuries have caught up to him. And I would like Hoff to get used to the pressure now so that he could handle it in the post season….if we get there (no jinxes).

The Cubs swept a doubleheader on the road by eight runs or more for the first time since 1908. You know what else the Cubs haven’t done since 1908?

I think it was the wrong decision..

Thank you for last year Bobby but I think it’s time for a change of scenery.

I'm not so sure they are lying, Dan

Chinese women generally look younger than what they are.

Plus, they’ve gone thru years of intense training.

Benefit of the doubt, sure

But when I Google “Chinese Women Age”, and find hundreds of articles…and considering the fireworks, the weather, the 7 year-old girl, and the city landscape is all fake fake fake, I’ll give up that benefit of doubt.

What's wrong with you?

"Yes it's true. Everyone knows that I've pitched. I make sure of that. I have nine different pitches, all of which are awesome. I have a 0.00 ERA, got one out, throwing all knuckleballs. I don't remember who I faced -- some dude from Ole Miss." - Ryan Theriot
