Prove me wrong, Cubs. Prove me wrong.

Down 4 with 5 innings to play, the Cubs, one of baseball's highest scoring teams in recent years, have little to no chance of scoring 5 times.

Wind blowing in.....need to manufacture some runs......hey, there's a fly to the track that would be a HR most days, hit by the guy who can't hit a HR.

Man on....let's get him in....fly ball to deep left. Caught easily as the wind holds it up.

Nice approach at the plate guys. Way to adapt!

:)
That basically the problem with this team..
Their whole starting lineup outside of 4-3 Heyward are power pull guys..

You just wont see them often doing the little things to score runs..

Darvish has 1 QS(6 ip 1 ER(hr) 9 k's 1 walk vs mil)
Hendricks has 2 QS(gave up 2 vs pit yesterday over 6 and 1 vs Mia over 6)
Lester has 1(shut out Milwalkee)
Q has 1( shut out Milwalkee)

No one has gone 7 but I wouldn't expect to see that to be honest. That's not how maddon rolls.

Interesting..they had 5 QS giving up a total of 4 runs and lost 3 of 5 games

Darvish QS 1 run team lost

Lester QS 0 runs team won

Quintana QS 0 runs team won

Hendricks 2 QS 1 run and 2 runs team lost both

Maybe this should show that Maddon needs to roll different dice and allow his starters to go a little deeper in games cause it seems that he wasting away opportunities of winning games..

I didn't forget anything. If white pants with matching braids are included, those unis kick butt.

Hey, I'm not one to criticize....as they say..."beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Actually I found some shoes that might go well with the uni's. :lol:

Next step lead off Javy.

It was confirmed that Almora was sick and that was the reason he was replaced yesterday, still under the weather.
