4/12 Cubs (Maddux) v.s. Reds (Claussen) 1:20 WGNTV and Radio

[Mizzou]

Why does it seem like in 2003 Pierre was on base ALL the time against us, creating havoc and NEVER grounding out to anyone, but now he weakly grounds out ALOT to everyone?

 

Because he really wasn't that big a factor in the 2003 NLCS?

Huh? He had a great series.

Barrett seriously is the best NL offensive catcher.

 

[sarcasm]But the Worst Defensive Catcher EVER.[/sarcasm]

Come on Michael make up for the fact that you cant catch a cold behind the plate.

 

That's harsh, would you rather have Piazza?

5 years ago Piazza yes, now no.

If you're referring to the relay throw, that was a really tough short-hop.

[Flames24Rulz]

Pagan K's, but it's 4-1 Cubs after 5!

I just watched Bako make the same play look easy for the Royals.

I don't really. Maybe in a year or two if Salty doesn't take his job.

This whole Barrett hating phenomena is bizarre.

Yep but Michael can't catch anyday. Will he always knock in 3?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm secure enough in my masculinity to say that I love Barrett. Oh yes, with all my heart.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I don't know, but I think Barrett is going to have the best offensive year for a Cub catcher since Rick Wilkins. Edited April 12, 2006 by ToupeeOnFire

2 on, 1 out, Dunn up.

 

*cue ominous music*

[CubinNY]

Dusty better get someone up in hte pen.

[da bears]

Come on Maddux, roll a deuce.

And it was still a really tough play. If Barrett knew that he had time, he could've made an attempt to just smother it, but that doesn't really happen. Barrett had to stretch out for it to his right and attempt a backhand catch. It's not easy.

Bako is a defensive catcher. You wouldn't have won 2 of the games against the Cards this weekend with Bako.

For a Cubs catcher, anyway.

[illiniguy]

I don't hate him, just think he gets way too much love from this board.

[CubinNY]

Williamson up in the pen.

[Mizzou]

What is Greg's pitch count up to?

[Andy]

Buh-bye Dunn!
