4/15 Cubs (Williams) vs Pirates (Duke) 6:05 WGN

[MPrior]

So on gameday, it marks Jerome's second pitch to Burnitz as right in the middle of the strike zone, but still called a ball. Is that accurate, or is gameday just crazy?

[Omar]

Angel Pagan singles.

[Andy]

Knock for the Pagan Angel.

[Outshined_One]

Anyone know how good Duke's move to first is?

[Omar]

Pagan is so much better than Macias :o

[Outshined_One]

Wow, terrific throw from home. Edited April 15, 2006 by Outshined_One

Wow that wasnt even close.

[Omar]

Pagan is so much better than Macias :o

 

As he gets caught stealing.

[Jon]

They sent down Wuertz? What the heck would they do that for?

They needed a bullpen arm and couldn't afford to send down a bat with Jones out.

 

Wuertz is a bullpen arm. He threw 15 pitches yesterday, after not pitching for the 2 previous games.

But they'll likely need a guy who can go today and tomorrow with Williams and Rusch starting. The bullpen is down from 7 pitchers to 6 and they're not well-rested.

 

I swear Novoa had a 2 inning outing in the past day or two.

 

Also, Jimmy Fallon needs to get off my TV.

Well then that would be downright nutty.

 

Pagan with a terrible jump.

Murton with a 2 out double!

[Andy]

Murt doubles!

 

I love you.

[Omar]

Yeah, so much for Pagan stealing. He might've scored.

[cubweiser03]

ball died on the grass. nice doub!

[Guest]

Looks like the attempted steal may have cost us a run there.

[stitchface]

one thing I love about young players is they run out of the box.

[stitchface]

Yeah, so much for Pagan stealing. He might've scored.

 

he wouldn't have scored.

[Flames24Rulz]

Cedeno lines out to Castillo :(

[Omar]

[cubweiser03]

ah, that was pretty good by ronnie.

[MPrior]

I think Dusty is a bit enamored with his new-found speed. I have no trouble with stealing bases, generally, but discretion should be used, I think.

[Outshined_One]

Cedeno hits it on the screws, but right to Castillo. Nuts.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I think that CS might have just cost us a run. Bad jump. :(
