So with Beckham batting lead off why is De Aza batting 2nd?

Lead off hitter reaching for a pitch for only a 2 pitch at bat..

Danks really doesn't have good stuff anymore.. It just looks soft and he can't control it very well.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 7, 2014 -> 06:10 PM) I'm making a last minute decision to head down to Comiskey. Hopefully Danks doesn't have one of those 1st innings where he lets up 2-4 runs. I wish I had this luxury.

I can't come up with any words to say regarding to Beckham hitting first.... This is all I got: :angry:

Thanks Cubs for getting us back to .500!! Time to win the next 2 games and never look back..

We are up 4.. Just throw some strikes.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:27 PM) Cleto? When is the last time he pitched?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) Nice job taking an uppercut Mr. Danks! We needed a fly ball and got a deep one. Wait... He always has an uppercut swing

When Beckham, Sierra, and Danks go a combined 9 for 9 at the plate you know it is your game

Hey! He hit an off speed pitch! Woooo! Progress!

You got to be kidding me!!!! Thank you Beckham!!! All is forgiven............ For now......

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Awful job by Ventura of letting Russell face two lefties to start the inning. See my post up a few posts ago

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:34 PM) Well Dunn gets on base at over a 40 percent clip. Good to lead off with that. Garcia hasn't been as terrible as expected with the bat so far but he shouldn't be your first ph. When you know they have a lefty warming up in the bullpen I think it is smart. Especially with Beckham up 3rd in the inning. Would be a good double switch... But I don't expect Robin to be that smart

Why pinch hit with Adam now?? nobody on base to lead off the inning. Put Garcia up there and let him get on base

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) So he will likely be activated Thursday? That would be my guess but I don't know for sure

QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:28 PM) Conor is back tomorrow correct? It'll be nice to get him and Paulie into the lineup tomorrow (assuming it's Paulie since a lefty is on the mound). He can be activated but I doubt he plays tomorrow against a lefty.

Hey! Good defense!

We can't get the calls on the corners. Come on

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:20 PM) Have these hitters never seen a slider? I feel like all we face is slider pitchers. How we haven't learned to take them/hit them is beyond me

Pathetic. This hitting has been so bad

F off ump

Why do we keep helping this guy out!?!?!

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2014 -> 09:14 PM) Your post should read ... "Sierra is a damn stud (today)!!" I only know him from his time with the White Sox so he is a stud!
