    Can anyone here understand why Brocail is still in the game after walking 3 straight batters? Last 13 pitches, he's thrown 1 strike!

    Because he didn't bother to warm anybody up until Brocail walked the bases loaded.

    Thankfully we got a magical double play to get out of the inning.

    It's always fun to see fans rise up in unison against idiocracy :)

    Lee is very Tejada-like with his GIDPs but that was just craziness. I can't justify keeping Brocail in even after getting out of that inning.

    Stobbart, looks like Geary's out with probably the same carryover groin strain from the previous cubs series.

    I can't justify putting Brocail in against a team of little leaguers as of late, lol.

    Ah ok, cheers Tmac. Stll, we have Wes Wright and LaTroy Hawkins who have pitched pretty well. If we'd brought one of those in we might still be winning.

    That Slider is doing nothing, if someone can get a hold of it...they could do some damage.

    Well, no shot of any runs until Marmol gets out of there. Even then, we might have used up our allowed amount of runs per game.

    Wes Wright is a genius. He's worked out a special system where walking the lead off man in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game is the best way to take it to extra innings. Can't wait to see how the system works.
