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

[ToupeeOnFire]

Dusty is using Eyre like he should of used Remlinger.

[Chris]

Murton knows how to catch the ball

[BeerHere]

15 walks betwwen the teams today

[abuck1220]

i'd have to check on it, but i don't think you can walk across the plate.

[E.J.]

How many pitches for Eyre now?

[imb]

Murton knows how to catch the ball

 

but not how to throw one. he just short hopped a 50 foot throw from leftfield.

[Rob]

CAN WE STOP [expletive] WALKING PEOPLE PLEASE? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN WE JUST GET A SIMPLE INNING FOR ONCE????

 

Relax, Howry is coming in.

 

Have you been watching ST. Eyre owns howry.

 

Maybe, but Howry keeps his BB/9 around 2... or just a bit over half as many as Eyre.

[JC]

Was that an unearned run due to Lee's gaff?

[Chris]

Nice camera shot of Neifpoleon

Nice camera shot of Neifpoleon

 

Is that Neifi riding on Dick Pole's shoulders?

[Rob]

Is anybody else having flashbacks of Chad Fox right now?

[JC]

Nice camera shot of Neifpoleon

 

He was probably just hold the citizenship papers Bush gave him in the clubhouse next to his heart.

[goonys evil twin]

I don't think ST is really the best way to judge a pitcher's effectiveness.

[Andy]

Was that an unearned run due to Lee's gaff?

Yeah, that catch woulda been the 3rd out otherwise

[abuck1220]

why is our best (supposedly) set up guy throwing 30+ pitches in a six run game? thankfully tomorrow is an off day.

[sethuel1]

You guys had to make the commentary about Dusty managing a good game, didn't you?

[Chris]

Nice K

[Coach C]

Wow, that was probably the latest strike 3 call I ever seen.

[soccer10k]

That 1-2 fastball was most definately a strike.

And the umpire made up for it on the 2-2.

Nice pitches by Eyre limit the damage.

no one said it was, but we're riding the hot hand into Opening Day, so yes, ST stats are important as they're recent performance.

[BeerHere]

STEEEEEEEEKK!

 

37 pitches for Eyre

[dorjecub]

if that ump wasn't going to call that a strike i would've exploded.
