Cubs @ Pirates 6/29/09

[jeffy]

I'm too lazy to post lineups.....

Harden vs. Duke

[Destined]

Duke owns us.

[jeffy]

At least Lou finally moved Bradley down in the order.

[jeffy]

Wow, we actually scored a run early, without hitting a HR.

[jeffy]

2-0 lead thanks to Theriot's bomb. Let's see what sort of creative method we can utilize to blow this lead.

[Ace]

Actually, pre-2006 he owned us. After then, he hasn't. I was surprised by that as I thought he always dominated us.

[jeffy]

Nice RBI double from Milton.

[jstraw]

Theriot dugout spit shot was the best I've ever seen. Excuse me while I go throw up.

[Ace]

Damn, it seems folks' threats to boycott the Cubs for a little while is sincere...

If we can win a few, they'll be back.

[jeffy]

Harden is pitching a bit more like his old self tonight. 6 K's already.

Tonight's game isn't on WGN or Comcast Chicago. Not sure who all gets WCIU/CubsnetHD. I'm just lucky to have the mlb.com package.

Same here. I'd be screwed were it not for MLB.tv. Now, if the Cubs blow this lead, I'll still be screwed regardless.

How the hell is Soriano doing that well in the all-star balloting?

Simple: he gets a $250k bonus if he's tops on the All-Star balloting, so he's paying people to click for him.
