FWIW, the 96-loss 2006 Cubs had 65 losses and 48 wins on this date.

I think it's doubtful that this game gets played today. Lots of rain in the area now, and it's only supposed to get heavier this evening.

That could be a blessing considering how shitty this team is playing.

Rizzo with the walk against Marshall, after falling behind 1-2. Nice.

5. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:05 AM (#4204993)

So what's going on? Gameday has gotten all wonky suddenly.

6. Gern Blanston Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:11 AM (#4205000)

That'll do. We gonna end this streak tonight?

MLB Network just showed the homer and they had what I'm assuming was the Reds' feed because there was not a word said from the time the ball went off the bat until Soriano touched home.

I'm suddenly reminded of that gruesome blown save Marmol had in Cincy earlier this season.

9. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:17 AM (#4205006)

That'll do.

10. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:21 AM (#4205007)

This is the way to follow a game. I assumed it was rained out, so I didn't tune in until the bottom of the 8th.

11. Gern Blanston Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:23 AM (#4205009)

Soriano homered after Rizzo's walk (which forced Marshall from the game).

12. Gern Blanston Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:23 AM (#4205010)

And I'm a little slow catching up here.

13. Gern Blanston Posted: August 10, 2012 at 12:24 AM (#4205011)

I forgot about the game altogether til the missus went to bed. Was surprised to find it was the only MLB action still going.
