I knew our line-up is old, but just realized the only person in our line-up under the age of 31 is Pillar @ 28...

Yeah...for kicks, Pillar is the youngest starter tonight, born in January of 1989. On Monday, the oldest player in the Cubs' lineup was Rizzo, born in August of 1989.

man our starting pitching is starting to look good. If sanchez could come back and stay healthy along with our bullpen..... teams are going to be scared.

That's probably a bit of an overstatement: our starting pitching has an ERA of 5.21 in June. They aren't our biggest problem overall, but they aren't exactly a strength right now, either.

I was really happy to see Austin Bibens-Dirkx make his debut, because he might well be the last rookie older than I am...

you just like saying 'Bibens-Dirkx'

Tonight's lineup.

Read on Twitter

I'd rather see Pearce in place of Carrera right now. He's on a role and just came off a 3 for 3 game and a BB yesterday. But i'm not the manager of this team and I don't make these decisions. :wink:

Man that Travis injury was huge.. I hate seeing us run Goins or Barney out there everyday. We need another 2B.

FYI there is a flash sale on MLB.tv - just $10 (US, I think) for the rest of the year.

Did this team forget how to score runs?

We are 2nd last to the KC Royals in runs scored in the AL. Not good.

Good ol' Pillar at it again... Swinging away at a bad pitch. :nonono:

Can't win games with 0 runs

Caught a break there.. Schoop looked safe.

Jiminez decided to pitch well aginst the jays... sounds about right

This team is making Ubaldo look like a Cy Young candidate. Only 1 hit through 6 innings. lol. horrible.
