How is it that without much of Prior and Wood last year we still had the market cornered in pitcher K's last year?

 

Zambrano.

 

 

 

And Howry rocks. Please keep pitching like that.

 

The Cubs bullpen struck out a ton last year. Ohman, Wuertz, and Dempster were all well over a K per inning. Hawkins, Zambrano, Novoa, and Remlinger were well above average also.

[Jehrico]

I'm loving having this pen...game's been over since the 6th inning...

[Coach C]

Aww.

[David]

hahahahahhaha bad plays by both terrible RFers...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jones can't even get that right. Ugh!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Jones is so bad.

[sweetpeteman]

hahahahahaha.... wow... Suckiness begets suckiness.

[Jon]

Way to blow that, Jones.

 

And Encarnacion continues to entertain.

dang JJ cant even get on base when they give him one

[CubinNY]

Much crow is going to be eaten of Howry and Eyre keep up their ST/Regular Season stuff. (And Baker doesn't run them into the ground)

 

We don't eat crow around here.

Juan and Joque with two bad plays in one AB

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones flied out right field, 9-6 on a fielding error, E-9

Barrett groundd out to short, 6-3

[Chris]

Not that hard to carry the Cubs' Jacque

Apparently we eat Cardinal, after we crush them to goo!

Barrett would have hit into a DP if Jones had stayed at first.

 

I know, I know, we can't assume a double play...

[abuck1220]

jones: i'm the worst rf in the game today, i'm hitless on the season.

encarnacion: oh yeah, watch me drop this pop fly of yours.

jones: oh yeah, watch me not hustle and then foolishly try to make it to second.

encarnacion (pondering whether to eight hop the throw to second base): you win.

[Jehrico]

Jones is so bad.

 

At least he dropped his K rate to .300 per plate appearance...

[ToupeeOnFire]

Oh well, Jock Strap's baserunning gaffe isn't so bad since he would have been erased on a double play anyway.

[erik316wttn]

So what crap are we going to have to take on in return in order to unload Jacques contract?

[soccer10k]

Stupid Frenchie, has he heard of hustling? I doubt it. He should have had second base easily.

[Coach C]

Barrett would have hit into a DP if Jones had stayed at first.

 

I know, I know, we can't assume a double play...

 

Yeah, even if that wasn't a DP, and a runner on 1st, Murton would had GIDP.

 

But yeah, we can't assume a double play as well.

 

Heh heh. :D
