4/8 Cubs/Dead Birds 1:20 CSN, Z!/Carp

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Ooh! Close....but ugh!

 

Was his foot off the bag?

[badger1679666666]

heck of an effort by Lee.

[Rob]

.286/.412./.514

 

That's JD Drew's line from last year... even accounting for his 0-25 slump to start the season.

 

There's still hope for JJ, even if he is no JD.

i didn't think so, his foot was still on the edge of the bag when he got the ball.

 

doesn't matter as Pujols grounds out 6-4 to end the inning.

Is it possible that Walkah's arm is so weak because he's a natural lefty and at some point in his life decided to learn to throw righty so he could play an IF position (other than 1B)?

 

Just a theory.

[soccer10k]

How is Z looking today.

Come to Flashchat! There's actual conversation!

Walker's arm isn't that weak. That particular play is possibly the worst possible throw an infielder has to make.

I'm not necessarily calling him out on that particular throw. His arm is pretty weak, though, and I'm a huge Walker fan.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Walker gets the two out walk.

[soccer10k]

Is nobody doing a play by play today?

[rawaction]

Good job to get Lee up this inning.

[Rob]

Bribe me.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee singled to center field, Walker to second

[Flames24Rulz]

wow CSN's audio is sucking it up.

 

Lee with another hit, 2 for 2 day so far. 1st and 2nd for ARam.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lee with a single. Two on for Ramirez with two out.

[ToupeeOnFire]

C'mon A-Ram, time to make up for the earlier K.

[Flames24Rulz]

ARam hit that on a rope, but right at Rodriguez.

[badger1679666666]

Damn. Hit hard by Ramirez but right at Rodriguez.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

54 pitches for Carpenter. 44 pitches for Zambrano so far.

[rawaction]

Doing a good job of working the count, other than a few lapses. I think they're gonna wear Carp down.

[ToupeeOnFire]

This is looking like one of those games where our improved team speed™ might come in handy.
