DREW!
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Boring singles to RF
a limited number of TOOTBLANs and playing 2B.
That’d make him “win” around here. At least from me.

well he doesn't decide where he plays
and tonight he had 2 hits, a stolen base and a run scored…

Why are the Cubs doing this to me??
"That's what you live for. You live for the opportunity and when that day comes, you better be ready," Soto said. "I tried to make sure that whenever they gave me a chance, I was ready and I knew I had to take advantage of the opportunity."
Nothing worthwhile is ever easy, I guess.

swing and a foul
3-2.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
The fact that
nothing comes easy for this team will make the ultimate victory so much sweeter

Nope, I'm still here.

Nice victory
Z was great all the way around, and the pen got out of some sticky wickets.
It would be nice if Gregg didn’t have to get four outs every time he came in for a save, however.

Hey NBF
definitely a good win… but I too could have done without the deja vu that came with that 9th inning strikeout… do they have to always make it quite so “interesting”??

That's entertainment
The score was only 2-1, so they had to give you some bang for your buck. :) Maybe with the rookie pitching tomorrow for the Reds, the Cubs can make it a laugher.
Pondering making the 4 1/2-hour drive to Cincy tomorrow for the game, but they never seem to win when I go there. Skyline Chili is almost worth the drive in itself, however.

Be careful what you wish for. :D
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

And I’d go to the game if I were you! But then I don’t get many chances… :)

He got three outs on Wednesday.
Though, I agree with you about the four-out save thing. Dropping one third strike is fine, but our catchers need to hold onto balls that aren’t in the zone.

I know I'm in the minority around here...
.. but I’m still maintaining some optimism that Gregg will get it together and be a consistent closer for us.

It seems to me that he's been streaky to this point.
He’ll be lights out in one save, and then he seems to “lose it” and can’t find the zone in other game-closing situations (see game against Houston at Wrigley earlier this year).
I hope he turns it around, too.

Is tough to name many Cubs
.. that haven’t been streaky this season!
Randy Wells. Anyone else? lol
To be fair, baseball tends to be a sport dominated by streakiness…

I certainly think he has the potential
to do it.
Looking at Wood’s line, I believe he has two blown saves in 10 chances. So he’s actually a little worse, percentage-wise, than Gregg is now.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 5, 2009 10:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Was that Houston game
a save situation? I didn’t think it was.
That said, I can’t understand why there’s that much variance in performance between save and non-save situations. A lot of closers are like that.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 5, 2009 10:23 PM CDT up reply actions
The Houston game was not a save situation.
Gregg went in because he was warming up during the eighth inning that day. Had the Cubs not scored in the bottom of the eighth, then yes, it would have been a save opportunity. Heilman technically blew the save, but that’s because the Cubs lead was 4-2 when he came in.

He was pretty much lights-out Wednesday
But he also had to get four outs against the Dodgers last week when Scales made an error at third base with two out.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Jun 5, 2009 10:19 PM CDT up reply actions
Yep
and he seems to have been improving steadily since that crap-fest against houston… and every reliever is going to have outings like that, you just hope they’re few and far between…

Wood was kind of like that last year, too
Had a rough first six-seven weeks or so, then settled down and became much more reliable.
I hope Gregg is able to do the same.
