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

[Fro]

Time to cut Rusch loose and bring up Guzman

[cubfan75]

How can we not have one person all day hit a stinking average flyball. I got home from class at 3:30 and no one has even flirted with one yet.

[Coach C]

Oh, and Sisco costed the Royals another game. Wow.

[illiniguy]

Did you see the game? Sisco and the Royals got hosed.

[cubweiser03]

Good job re-signing Rusch. I hope he gets DFA'd by season's end.

 

I thought they gave him an extension also. signed through 2007....no?

I'd prefer not to pour through 50+ pages - what happened to Jones?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

hey, a scoreless inning!

[Coach C]

Oh, and Sisco costed the Royals another game. Wow.

Did you see the game? Sisco and the Royals got hosed.

 

I did, and he was getting used by that home plate ump, but all those walks will come back and kill you, one way or another.

We seem like my Gators, except in the tournament this year, where we get ranked #1 in basketball then go on to lose 2 games the following week. The Cubs move into first and go on the next day to lose it.

[C.C.]

Time to cut Rusch loose and bring up Guzman

 

I AGREE! I honestly can't watch Rusch serve up gropher balls to pitchers anymore.

Typical Yankee come back win they all stand up there with their bats on their shoulders with the umpire too afraid to call a strike on them.

[Andy]

He hurt his hammy. Day to day. He'll probably be back by Thursday at latest.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I don't see why you guys are complaining about Rusch! He lowered his ERA today.

 

To 8.00.

 

:(

[Guest]

Arroyo's out of the game... time to get ten runs in the next two innings.

[Drew Doughty]

Remember how Prior was on "an accelerated schedule" after his last start? I can picture it now:

 

Prior to start in a week

 

It's only 4.5 runs per inning. It's doable.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mabry singled to left field

[C.C.]

On the upside if you told that after 6 games the Cubs would be 4-2 I would be happy.

[Mizzou]

Wind howeling out and we can't even get a single run?! Come on now!

[C.C.]

Mabry singled to left field

 

The comback has begun!

[cubfan75]

Go Mabry, leads off with a basehit. Now batting .750.

[Scott G. F.]

Mabry singled to left field

 

 

It always starts with a hit!!!

Pierre grounded into a FC, 6-4, Mabry out at second
