Pinada gave up two long balls but could be all that the Cubs need as we continue to leave runners on - wasting hits; making mental base running mistakes. Castrol ignored the 3rd base coach on a fly and was a dead duck trying to score. Sanchez has his timing off - I know he will get back on track but couldn't thinking back to the adage if it ain't broke don't fix it scenario. Having Hicks & Carter in the lineup is scary - no DH so we lose Holliday except as a PH (once a game). Ellsbury sit on the bench with that bruise - with 4 more games in NL cities how long are we down a bat? Nothing has been said about Romaine - assume he is available since Higoshaka was sent down when Sanchez was reinstated to the roster. Can you tell I'm frustrated with this game - we're not getting hammered. Michael pitched good enough to win even had a hit and sac bunt -
down to the final three outs. Not expecting a comeback here and for the first time this year this team will be shut out.
