Holy shit. That game was over.

For the record... use this inning anytime some putz says baseball is slow and boring. They don't understand the game if they say that. That was really tense and exciting. Even though really nothing happened lol. Still though, weird ass defensive alignments, great pitching... just fun.

That's the great thing about baseball; all it takes is one swing. Sometimes, those swings are three straight popups.

I'd say why run there but I guess it worked. Shouldn't have.

Good stop by Lucroy on the 2-2 pitch, or it's 2nd and 3rd with just 1 out

Travis Wood is a very good hitting pitcher.

All I can think of while watching this shit is Maddon saying the hitters will love not having the wind in their faces. In 2 nights, they have scored 3 runs, all in the 9th inning.

And now look at how they scored.

It's a strange, strange game.

9 career HR's and a .180 average is good for a pitcher.

This is awful baseball by both teams
Just finish this so I can go to bed.

I don't really like droopy.

See I disagree with you. THe last few innings have been exciting.

I agree that it's been exciting too. Still bad baseball.

Bad baseball, but great drama.

Wood is an awful pitcher. Really needed Fowler to come through.

Oh but he's such a great hitter.

He really has no real role on this team. Last year when they had the 4th and 5th starter often failing to go even 5 innings, they needed guys like Wood and Richard that could go 2-3 innings....long relief. This year, that has not been needed, as the starters have always gone at least 5 innings and generally 6 or more. He's not a good situational lefty either, so I am not sure he really has a real role.

Did you not hear Len commenting on how Wood was one of the best hitting pitchers when he was a starter? Did you not hear that he had gone 2 for 8 including a grand slam, batting with the bases loaded previously?

I love Neil Ramirez. He's my guy.

I would love to see the Cubs go find themselves a real lefty reliever. Wood and Richard do nothing for me, especially late in games.

Trade deadline hopefully

I disagree with removing Ramirez for Richard. Ramirez did bounce a few in, but his pitches had great movement and I would have left him in to finish it. Sometimes this lefty/ righty thing is overdone.
