4/9 Cubs (Marshall) vs Deadbirds (Fat Drunk) 7:05 ESPN

[Yeti]

I hope Ponson doesn't get in the way of my view of the Cubs hitters...maybe they'll be using a special camera angle tonight.

:lmao:

[Jon]

How are these strikes?

[Omar]

Pop-up falls in foul territory.

[Outshined_One]

How are these strikes?

 

Red-tinted glasses, imo.

[Fro]

Ump is probably going with Ponson out to eat after the game or something.

[Flames24Rulz]

wind plays tricks with 3 Cards. Cmon Walkah.

[Coach C]

Way to go Walker!

[Omar]

Walker with a base hit to raise the ole' batting average.

[Flames24Rulz]

Walker with a 1 out single.

[Jon]

Nice 2-strike mistake. Come on, Lee.

[Rob]

If Eckstein had cracked that five foot tall barrier before he got to the big leagues, he woulda had that.

[Andy]

Ponson's K-Zone = Ponson's actual size

[Outshined_One]

Oh joy, Peter Gammons was pimping the Yankees and Red Sox to Lee.

[Coach C]

Damn, 4-3 DP.

[Flames24Rulz]

Lee GIDP.

 

2-0 Cards after 1 :x

[Omar]

Hard hit ball by Lee... into a DP. Sad first inning over.

[Jon]

Lee got a real good pitch to drill but took it. :(

[CuseCubFan69]

I'm surprised Ponson isn't a better defender. You'd think he'd gobble up everything that goes over his plate.

 

So you're saying he's an innings eater?

[Coach C]

So you're saying he's an innings eater?

 

If you mean eating in between innings, I guess that would qualify.

[Sosa21MVP]

Meh, DP for DLee.

 

But I don't have a bad vibe yet. I think Marshall will be money, he made his rookie mistake. Ponson isn't an ace. I think the Cubs will do fine tonight.

 

Now is the time to kick some ass and make a statement. Build momentum and confidence. 2 runs ain't shizzle. LET'S GO CUBBIES!!!!!

[Andy]

DLee says "Not interested in a ton - I want to stay here"

 

Hopefully this is done by Tuesday.

[Omar]

ESPN doing the Sammy Sosa AB zoom in to Molina.

[Omar]

Molina grounds to Ramirez. 1 down.

[Coach C]

Nice job Aramis.
