Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 119
Cubs squander early lead; win late with walkooff wild pitch. That was certainly a weird night at the ballpark. First there were showers. Then the game opened as a slugfest with each team loading the bases and then having the next hitter hit a long fly ball.

The Cubs put up four in the first while the Reds put only one on the board after a fantastic play by Kyle Schwarber. The game took an odd turn and a bit of a pitcher’s duel broke out and...

But a couple of strong throws home have shown he might not be a lost cause like some think. I’m very aware what many of you […] Chicago Cubs: Kyle Schwarber showing progression in the field - Cubbies Crib - Cubbies Crib - A Chicago Cubs Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
