Opening Day 4-3 Cubs (Zambrano) v. Reds (Harang) 1:10 CT WGN

[Fro]

Wow, great start.

 

Biggest thing I saw was pretty much everyone in the lineup took a few pitches there and battled.

[Andy]

Woo hoo! Five runs in the first! Let's go BIG Z!

[XZero771679666304]

windblown?

 

No, it was hit hard.

Yeah, Griffey knew it was gone, he barely jogged.

[Mizzou]

God I love baseball.

[Pistolcub42]

The Cubs are on pace to score 7290 runs this year...

[Soul]

3 run jack by young Matty Murton!!

 

OMG that just made my day! :D

[rawaction]

Thanks Adam Dunn!

[fishbulb]

making Harang throw 32 pitches in the first inning, I like that, made him work, well, Barrett got him off the hook a bit.

[ManEatingTarp]

WOW.

 

A guy runs out for lunch and the Cubs find an offense.

I'm glad for you folks that they're starting the year with a bang.

[Brendan]

:evil:

I cant belive I missed the first HR call of the year...Stupid MLB Radio.com

 

i thought it was just me and my mac.

[B]

windblown?

 

No, it was hit hard.

 

hooray

 

Yeah, Griffey knew it was gone, he barely jogged.

 

Probably pulled his hamstring again.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

How many earned runs? 2 or 4?

 

EDIT: Gamedays says 2, problem solved

I guess that makes the 3 runs from the homer unearned right?

[jaydee]

actually, if you project it over 600 ABs, he will have 600 HRs with 1800 RBis

For those of us who are using this thread as their outlet to the game pretending to work, it'd be nice if we knew what was going on in addition of the comments and smileys. :x :x :x

 

Fixed

 

Doesn't change my point. :P

[rawaction]

Hit for the cycle that inning.

 

2 ERs

[goonys evil twin]

For those of you listening to the Cincy broadcast feed.

 

Now that it's between innings, I have to bring it up. What in the world were they talking about when they referred to waiting for the 2nd inning to find out if it's a gangster or a gangsta?

[BeerHere]

Nice first inning of the year. Go get em Z!!!!

[Blueheart05]

If anyone is interested, there were some technical difficulties with the MLB.TV feed and they switch from the Reds call on FSN to WGN.

[Andy]

Haha WGN just assumed Dusty was going to start Neifi and Hairston!!! :D

[Wilson A2000]

Was Harang that bad or was he getting squeezed too much? THe error didn't help either.

[rawaction]

I guess that makes the 3 runs from the homer unearned right?

 

Yep, Murton would have never come to bat.

I heard that too. Maybe it's their "picks to click".
