4/11, Cubs/Reds, Cy Rusch/Arroyo, CSN 1:20

[Scott G. F.]

We could be on the verge of the greatest comeback in a long time. We have the team and the right opponent to do it.

 

Just get to the Pen.

[Flames24Rulz]

Lee K's looking.

[neely crenshaw]

i haven't been posting but i have been watching..ugh

can we please petition the cubs not to pitch rusch on weekday daytime games when i can watch? it's not even a good diversion from work.

[Jon]

Strained right hammy for Jones.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones has a strained right hamstring.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

on a side note, how does one get a job sitting at Wrigley and updating the play-by-play on Gamecast? sign me up

 

 

I've been quietly working towards that job for years.

 

i bet it pays in warm beer and stale nachos

 

Even better. Where do I send my resume?

Too bad we don't have Dwight Smith on the bench. He has experience helping a team come back from being down 9-0.

[Flames24Rulz]

Arroyo having an outing like Derrek Lowe did against us last year.

Your 6 million a year hole in RF is now out. Not sure if I'm happy or sad. :?

This is why Cubs fans are the best. Impossible optimism. :)

Almost a 3rd of a game left. It could happen. Time for this team to show some character!!!

It's for games like this that God invented beer.

If it is Pie I am happy. If it is Mabry I am not.

Bottom 6TH B:0 S:0 O:2

Chicago Cubs right fielder Jacque Jones left the game due to an injured leg.

What was that about?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Well..... the Dow-Jones caught up 11 points while the CUBS were falling behind by 9 points. Lousy day, anyway you take it.

[neely crenshaw]

i can deal with mabry for a spell. he certainly was nails in st. l filling in all over, but pie could add some interest!

i doubt they do it, because if he showed he was ready, hendry would look even more silly for the 3 year deal.

[Coach C]

Holy... :shock:

 

Good thing I was at work whenever this happened.

Yeah, it's like the Tsunami. I took and walk in the mountains, came back and everything was out of wack!!!!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz is nails.

[da bears]

Did the injury to Jones look bad?

Chicago Cubs right fielder Jacque Jones left the game due to an injured leg.

injured hammy. he's day to day.

How silly will Hendry look if Pie keeps tearing up AAA while leaving a black hole in RF? Forget the contracts, forget the trades and put the best 9 players you've got on the field. Anything else makes you look petty as well as stupid.
