Btw, a lot oof pitchers are going down thoracic outlet syndrome. Jay, that ended the career of Chris Carpenter. That is the injury that Harvey had and had surgery to correct it. He has not been the same since. Our closer Familia is now sidelined with that. I read that this is the condition that also ended the career of JR Richard a while back. He almost died. (I was not watching baseball then.)

 

Why are so many pitchers getting that now? Are they throwing too hard?

JR died of a stroke shortly after I believe .

Watching Brewers-Cubs right now. Milwaukee being in first place in the NL Central is definitely a surprise. They can hit the freaking ball though

Yeah they are very surprising, Cubs currently 3 back so a win would be nice today.

[2006Coltsbestever]

2-0 Cubs, Happ with a double! This Happ guy is really good, how does Theo come up with these guys?

He had a stroke but survived.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bases loaded and only 1 Out. Cubs have a huge chance of blowing this open, Wilson is up.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Sac Fly, 3-0 Cubs.

It ended his career not his life. Was to bad he was an intimidating pitcher reminded me a lot of Bob Gibson.

[2006Coltsbestever]

So far so good. 3-0 Cubs in the Bottom of the 2nd. Jake looks solid so far but it's early.

[Jay Kirk]

3-0 Cards bottom of second Grichick on second no one out. Same with Waino

Jake looks awesome today! Struck Broxton Out looking. 4-0 Cubs in the Bottom of the 4th. Bryant also hit a blast last Inning for his 9th HR of the year.

 Indiana History 

I honestly don't even follow the Indy 500 anymore, haven't for around 15 years. I went to that race when I was kid growing up during the 80's a couple of times something my dad went to every year. Throughout the 90's I lived for race weekend and partied all weekend and went to every race that whole decade. I had a friend that lived by the track so I could just park in his yard every year and party! Once the 2000's hit I just lost interest in it (my friend also had moved as well), the month of May wasn't the same as a whole. Cops got more strict, it wasn't near the party it was in the 90's and I liked the drivers much better in the 90's as well. I live pretty close to the track now and have no interest at all in it. I will probably go out of town next weekend to be honest to get away from it. Just been there and done that WHEN IT WAS GREAT.

Cubs now up 5-0 after 4!

[2006Coltsbestever]

Jake has a wicked Curve Ball! Gave up 1 run. Still up 5-1 going to the Bottom of the 5th. Cubs clicking today showing the Brew Crew who the Champs are.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Bryant just HR'd again . That is 2 today, Cubs putting on a clinic. 6-1

[2006Coltsbestever]

Nice to see Heyward back. He just doubled, Cubs up 9-1 now. Jake gonna get him a win today. 2 games back again. This game has been a treat, maybe the best game the Cubs have played all season considering the hot opponent.

[2006Coltsbestever]

13-1 Cubs! Best game all season easily.

Only 10 hours into my 48 hour shift, so this game is making killing time between runs more enjoyable for sure!!!!

 

 Go Cubs Go!

• PT the Cards probably found Adams expendable , Martinez will be back shortly and Piscotty both play 1rst as well as outfield . Adams coming up on FA . Wouldve loved seeing him for whole season in the great shape hes in . It may be a mistake.

Yeah, I'm torn on this.    It doesn't seem like the Cards got anything in return.   Yepez is really nothing.   Adams was at least a good pinch hitter for the team.   Maybe it won't affect things too much.   Adams did come into the season in great shape.    It's good for Adams and the Cardinals usually make an effort to do what is right.

5-0 Giants, Top of the 6th.

I guess it didn't turn out well , Giants right now are playin g pretty well , you cant make fundamental mistakes and expect to beat them . Is this what happened or Cubs just not swinging bats ?

Didn't score a run until the 7th I believe, just a combination of cold bats and some what bad pitching by Lackey.

[HOZER]

Awesome! Contreras is such a good dude!!!!!

A win much needed tonight, lost last night. It's raining again but the game is starting now. Lester just struck out the side. 0 runs allowed in the 1st Inning.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Kyle S HR, Cubs up 1-0. Great start!

[2006Coltsbestever]

4-0 Cubs lead, Rizzo just blasted a HR!

Lackey not on his game so far ?

He allowed doubles to Panik, Ruggiano and Posey as well as a homer to Belt that carried over the left-field wall. He's been playing well, the Windy City breezes just weren't helping him out.

[HOZER]

Cubs win!!!! Solid pitching from Lester, pitched entire game!

 

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs win 4-1, very much needed. Great all-around performance. Lester got the win.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs only 1.5 games out of 1st place at 23-21, Brew Crew lost, they are now 25-20.

I'm here. Been very busy. 

 

Mets up 5-3 in the 5th. 

 

Please vote for Michael Conforto for the All Star Game. He is having a tremendous year for the Mets. He is hitting .344 with 13 HRs, 32 RBI.
