Jon Jay July 6Well, Miggy could pitch if we ran out of relievers. And didn't someone else pitch an inning a few games ago?

with all due respect & agreement that his comments were disappointing~just gonna revisit that game 1 last year against the Dodger's was taken care of by Miggy's grand slam. Game 1 tonight had 4 hits, one of which is Q getting a single off of Kershaw .No Fin, I don't think you're the only one missy Miggy....I think you miss him the most and/or most vocal about it maybe. I have mixed emotions about him. I miss him to an extent, but then again was really really disappointed with his comments. While technically true, it just left the not-a-team bad taste in my mouth. It's hard to say if we'd be better off with him still here or better off with the current team makeup...I lean towards the latter. Missed yes, but not heart breakingly missed (at least not for me)
I hated that game I really was expecting them to lose but they have to go and get my hopes up and take an early lead. And I was in the city today to see Hamilton it was nasty rained all day no way baseball could been played in Chicago today.
no...and I will have to look it up but I think it was his first hit off KershawDidn't you just love Quintana's face when he got on base? Was that his first hit in the major leagues?
You summed it up perfectly for me - I was expecting them to lose but then I got my hopes up.
(But did you enjoy Hamilton??)
Here are my thoughts on the game before reading anyone else's comments.
* It seemed like the ENTIRE goal of the Cubs last night was to hit off of Kershaw. Once they did that, the bats were done.
* Good news, we DID hit off of Kershaw! Even though they came back to beat us we hit off their ace.
* Q did a good job but began to unravel. I supported Joe taking him out when he did.
* Q's base hit!!!
* Hector. Ugh. There was a reason why he wasn't in the NLDS.
* Monty. Double Ugh. I don't know what's up with him.
* At least they didn't score in the 8th inning.
* I'm not sure what to think about the play at the plate. I can absolutely see both sides of the argument. Willy did block the plate with his leg, but it also seems that he HAD to block the plate with his leg to catch the ball. In the end it meant nothing since we couldn't beat 4 runs nevertheless 5.
I hope that game was all about jet lag and a stop in lovely Albuquerque for Q's wife they got enough sleep tonight!
as excited as Jon?I'm VERY excited to see Lester pitch today!
a year ago today...Miggy almost broke Wrigley..then Dex followed up.
I woud very much like to see Robertson have this same look on his face tonight.
I was at that game too!I took my two youngest to that game 1. I swear the stadium walls shook after that GS. My kids thought this was the norm for all games.
At least CJ had it tonight. Wish the rest had it as well. Strop made me nervous again tonight. But Duensing really makes me nervous now.
Liking on the CJ part...Duensing doesn't worry me...look how Joe did the walk knowing Brian could get the ground ball for the dp. Our offense however, as of tonight maybe kinda is making this so much harder that it has to be.At least CJ had it tonight. Wish the rest had it as well. Strop made me nervous again tonight. But Duensing really makes me nervous now.
