[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Mabry I pledge thee my unwavering devotion.

[WindyCity]

Thank you Mabry!

[ManEatingTarp]

A little Cardinal magic for you all...

 

;)

 

How many times do you think Ron will call him MayBerry this year?

[KatJ]

Yeah Mabry!

 

Somehow that makes me feel dirty, for all the years he was a Cardinal.

 

Still, I'll take it!!!! Good going "Mabes"! :D

[BeerHere]

Somewhere Steve Stone is smiling

 

 

 

 

...and frowning

[Brian]

WTG notmacias!

[illiniguy]

good thing jones plays instead of mabry...

Lets not get crazy. This is like when Holla had a good '04 of the bench. He isn't an everyday player.

[rawaction]

this is a great bench!

 

 

 

 

*for the moment*

[cjbucks]

Pat called that one!

[frostwyrm]

Apparently you can pitch like crap and still beat the Reds. Who knew?

[abuck1220]

speed has gotten the cubs back in this game!

[stitchface]

OMG we are back in the game!

 

are you ever really out of a game against the Reds?

[BigbadB]

Mabry homers on Mercker! :shock: :shock: :shock: SWEET!

 

Dusty made a great choice there!

 

I wouldn't call it a great choice, though it did have a great outcome. Knowing that Arroyo could get pulled based on his pitch count, a switch hitting PH might have been in order with guys in the bullpen from both sides, but I'm not going to complain.

[Joe_Cub]

corey's gone, just ride the hot hand and put pagan in RF

[Butterscup1679666578]

Bad piece of hitting by Pierre.

[srbin84]

Mabry just hit a bomb. Let's put the Jones vs. Patterson debate to rest.

Alright, well Cubs are back in it. Come on bullpen, don't pull a last year and give up a run now. Shut em down.

We'll take it -- can we send you some Cub futility in return? :D

Exactly what I was thinking

Lets not get to far ahead of ourselves, but it is looking better than it was earlier.

Can Macias play 2B?

 

 

 

of Left Field?

 

 

 

 

or pitch the 8th inning?

 

 

:D

[Brian]

allright when I came back from class the Cubs were winning, now I gotta go back so hopefully they take the lead back!
