terrible swing by javi but he was disciplined on the next pitch to take a walk.

schwarber up bases loaded. lets end this thing now.

another golden chance to get runs. let's end this.

victor missing a 3 run bomb by a few inches. 5-1. keep em coming.

sac fly 6-1

went to take a shower and it's 6-3 now.

tying run to the plate - wtf is going on here.

about 4 hrs into this game

Yeah, this is fucking ridiculous.

i wouldnt mind a pitch clock. one the pitcher gets the ball he has 20 seconds to throw or a ball gets called

Yu was taking close to a minute to throw it tonight

That is a bad play by Bote. Should have caught that foul.

Fours and 10 minutes for a 9 inning game is way too long.

If the Cubs had batted in the 9th it would have broken the time record for a 9-inning game.

Modern baseball. 26 outs were strikeouts.

like i said earlier, why not 7 inn! i am the biggest traditionalist but all the changes they made this year which I thought I'd hate I actually like : Universal DH, Runner on 2nd in extras, 3 pitch minimum for relievers, 7 inn games.

Yesterdays games were 2 hours and 2 and a half hours. Time is the most important thing to people these days and I think short baseball games would help draw a more general non hardcore baseball audience.

So split tomorrow and they win the series. I hope the cubs have finally found the bats again to take at least one tomorrow if not both.

then the whitesox roll into town. that should be an exciting series and planning my weekend around it. especially friday night.

Did you see this? crazy

Great start...

Hold on.

That Happ homer is on the ump for not calling a strike on the second pitch.

_________________

didnt know they started the game already. thanks for the pbp and informing me here on the cub forum the game has started. i will tune in but was about to get some lunch at JERSEY MIKES!

I'll do that and come back to see the game or game 2.

just saw the score - hope we can win game 2!

Mills is not long for this game.

Shildt is brain dead for not challenging that.

This could be a three-hour 7 inning game.

Cardinals really trying to let them back in but Cubs keep saying no thanks.

Are the Cubs the 'road' team in game 2 again?

I think so.
