Why, why, WHY WAS NEIFI RUNNING!?!

 

Dusty frowns on walking.

I frown on taking bad risks. That's where Dusty and I differ.

 

Or one of the areas were we differ.

 

Haha. IBB to Jones.

[Andy]

Any stats on how many times a hitless player this late in the season got IBB'd? Make 'em pay, Michael.

[Bull]

Jones with a walk!!

 

intentional

[USSoccer]

Don't know why you would IBB Jones.

[Chris]

I didn't realize Encarnacion threw like a 1st grade parapalegic.

 

fixed

 

:(

[USSoccer]

THAT ball should have been crushed....

It's especially stupid to run in front of Lee. Let him hit. Don't ask him to go the other way. Don't ask him to take a pitch so Neifi can steal. Don't risk Neifi getting thrown out.

[Andy]

4-0 now! And here comes Murt!

[Rob]

Nice

[Chris]

"That pitcher is in trouble" -Ron

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Another hit with RISP! Go Cubs!

 

4-0!!!! :woot:

[RyCubsFan]

let's gooooooooooooooo Murton!!!

[David]

4-0

 

We got this one.. :)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett singled to center field, Lee scored, Ramirez to third, Jones to second

[Chris]

4-0 :jive:

[Derwood]

OMGWTFBBQ!!!111! The COBS are playing sum good Ozzie Ball!

 

/I don't know what's wrong with me today. Nice AB Barrett!

It's better to be a first guesser than a second guesser.

 

That's why he is the best color man in baseball. :^o

And on a 3-1 count he's going to take close pitches because he's not as afraid to go to 3-2. That ball could've been called a strike and Neifi probably would've been gunned out at second.

 

Sweet!

[Rob]

I like sitting here watching this game, but I'd almost rather miss the next inning on the drive to the weightroom where I can rip on the Cards fans that inhabit the place.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hate Gameday -- Pitch 4 - In play, run-scoring play -- then excruciating long pause to see what actually happened.

But Santo's white, isn't he?

I'm listening to the game on XM, and despite all the seemingly exciting plays, I haven't really heard any crowd noice. I hear the organ playing in the background, and can hear the occasional increase in crowd volume, but nothing like you'd expect on openind day. Is it just not translating through the radio?
