lineup today. I like that Iannetta is playing, thank god. No doubt it is much too much to hope he gets a few starts in a row. He moves way down in the batting order, which is also good. HurdleLogic, however, cannot help himself Baker gets the start over Smith, when he could have easily played second or something if Hurdle REALLY wanted to get him in the lineup. Therefore removing a hot bat from a lineup struggling very badly. He moves Spilly to third, which seems odd, because Atkins has been struggling since he got back and I would much rather have Spilly in the cleanup spot these days.

Then again, this is the Cubs. I don’t have high hopes for the game. I just don’t. A new wave of apathy has come over from the FO after O’Dowd’s ridiculous remarks about “oh, they’ll go on a run and be FINE” without really digging at ANYONE for playing/managing horribly, and the Rockies can lose another, because why not? I mean, they’ll just go on a run when they go on a run and there you have it.

Urk….

Go Rockies!!!!

“The beatings will continue until morale improves”

Is Smith not starting? That guy is clearly one of the best hitters we have at this point.

I thought the game was supposed to start at 12:20 MT.

I got distracted reading about a 16 year old who’s planning to sail around the globe…by himself.

Wow. That’s actually kind of exciting.

I now suggest that each team does not get another hit until the fifth inning is over. And swing at the first pitch. Though with the Rockies, they’ll probably end up getting hits like crazy.

The Rockies scored 4 in the first inning? I could be wrong, but I think the only other time they have done that this year was against the Astros.

Iannetta!

Before the rain comes…

Whats the weather looking like now? it was only listed under the MLB package in my guide today, I hate when I have a day off and the game isn’t on TV.

should see more often.

I didn’t think I’d be getting Taco’s in a loooooooonnnnnngggggggg time.

That just soared out of there.

Where have they been hiding this offense?

Let him get rest and put Stewart in there.

If only we had more that 1 pitcher who could do that.

Three doubles will do that.

What’s the record for doubles in a game?

I’m looking forward to tacos tomorrow!

He would’ve been thrown from the game for hitting that batter.

Who knew Herrera had that much power? Nice triple!!

What’s going on?

that that was a homer.

homers to deep center. Let’s not see this game become interesting.

One more week until he’s our #5?

Anyone watching? How many of these homers have been wind-aided? I know Spilly’s was a no-doubter, but what about all the others?

Four doubles!! Seriously, what’s the record for doubles in a game? Is this at least a team record?

?

Miss Colorado threw out the first pitch
