At 99, is it flat, or does it have any movement
"It was a perfect situation for the Brewers," Hill said. "They had a guy up there at the plate [in Counsell] who takes a lot of pride in what he does and he practices those situations, so when it does come up, he gets the bunt down to the right side of the field. They have the perfect guy on first base [in Gomez], who is one of the fastest guys in the league, and they had one of the worst fundamental teams on the field, so it was a perfect situation for them."
looks pretty flat to me

I'll be in Charlotte in a week and a half
I’ll probably have Chick-Fil-A 10 times and Waffle House 5.

99, but straight as a string
Change up at 90. Sad

I like him.
I really do. I think he has way more potential that the Iowa shuttle we had earlier this year.

Down 7-4 top of the 8th.
Kaker and Reed hit homers. Z looked good early and lost it. Bullpen gave up two in the 7th when Castro dropped a pick-off throw.
Hi eths!
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CRAP, SHE'S UP"!
Not a high pressure pitcher
that was obvious from his days as a Twin. Still ended up with a 2.63 ERA in his full year with the Cubs. 3.32 ERA in his half year
How many blown saves with the Cubs.
I think I hate him more now because he’s had success, albeit as a set-up man.
he was 25 out of 34
never should have been a closer. Like I said, that was obvious from all his meltdowns as the closer for the Twins. Still put up good numbers
Thanks for looking that up.
I think he was the fall guy for the melt down they had that year in the last 10 days of the season.
ugh. What a shitty time to be a Cubs fan
I miss 1907 and 1908. Nobody fucked with the Cubs back then.
Misused

I agree
But it wasn’t his decision to keep trotting out there after he proved to be a failed experiment.

I just rewatched that Castro ground out.
They played Weeks behind the bag at 2B. Interesting. There manager couldn’t have thought of that.

Looking at strike 3
Really? GOd he is atrocious.

I have no problems with Fukudome
I was disappointed after this first year, now I have come to terms with what type of player he is
Nice to know the Cubs can be depended on to not win 3 games in a row.
The only team in MLB not to do that yet this season? Sigh.
Only the Cubs.
I sincerely hope they are not on a two-game winning ‘streak’ when I come see them play in person later this month.
There are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. Who says baseball isn't a religion?
If the Cubs were to play a 2 win, 1 loss rhythm (.667 percentage) for the rest of the season,
they would have 90 wins. See, even without a 3 game winning streak…
I just wish this was realistic.
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.
Ahhh... at least the Cubs consistant.
For a bit there, I almost thought I’d wake up to our first 3 gm winning streak… realy. We’re talking about winning a whopping 4.86% of gms inna row. 4.86%?! I’m trying to remain as positive as possible but c’mon… does anyone know if this is or is approaching record setting? We’re less than a month from AS Break…can’t win 3 inna row yet???
"Don't eat the eggs". "Why?" "Bill put LSD in the eggs"... Bill: "and in the water..." "But Bill...we drank the water!" From the parady "Cub Fans that Stare at Pujols".
At another Cubs site, they were discussing this on May 25th
and people were “complaing” about the post and many were hopeful? it’s nearly a month later now… the upcoming schedule, IMHO, doesn’t seem favorable to break the streak.
