Heavily RH'd lineup for Chicago..

No Schwarber.

Rizzo Bryant and Soler need to pick it up and even this series.

huh

[Homebrewer]

Maddon has done that all season..

Everyone was surprised when he batted Arrieta 9th in game 1

Maddon has done that all season..

It's very unusual, though. I can't remember ever seeing a pitcher batting 8th. 

 

That Maddon is quite eccentric.

I though matchups was a bad thing around here.

[Homebrewer]

Cubs fans and others who follow NL baseball were scratching their heads when he started that early in the season.

Hard to argue with 97 wins.

[fan_since79]

If the Cubs can win today, they have Arrieta going in Game 3 at Wrigley.

[Homebrewer]

woooohoooo!

Lots of Cub fans rode the train down to STL on a saturday.

Soler doubles..

[Homebrewer]

Stranded Soler @2nd. Some nerves showing for Bryant..

he needs to break out of it..

[Homebrewer]

Nice hanger to the first batter.

Carpenter  HR  1-0

[gotbeer]

Jimmy hendrix needs to take a doobie and calm down.  These gopher pitches aren't helping.

[Homebrewer]

"take" a doobie?

lol but yeah...this one is nearly a must win

[Homebrewer]

Another solid hit..

nice start to the inning...LETS GET SOME RUNS!!

[gotbeer]

I think I could have turned that double play better.

[gotbeer]

WTH happened there?  Wow, talk about a brainfreese by the pitcher.  I mean, I could have done better.

[gotbeer]

LOL.  2 suicide squeezes in a row.  Nice.  

[Homebrewer]

LOL!!!

Squeeze works, pitcher batting 8 works..

Hope Aybar is watching!

[Jay]

BUNTING

[Homebrewer]

and another squeeze works!

 

Go Joe!!

[gotbeer]

3 runs.  No balls out of the infield.  LOL

[Homebrewer]

This is the NL.

Bunting is ok, especially when the opposing team is committing errors right and left.

 

Ha Ha!

Another infield chop scores another run.

[Homebrewer]

LETS GO CUBBIES

 

Lots of Cubs fans there, I f'n love it.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

 Wow. The Cubs won 97 games, and that was only good for the second wild card because of the division they were in.

[gotbeer]

Wow, that homer looked like it was off the end of the bat.  Way to fight back after a disappointing game 1.
