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

[Flames24Rulz]

Burnitz grounds out to Hairston to end the inning. Let's put together a good inning on offense.

[Outshined_One]

Better than three HRs.

 

Alright, who wants to place a bet on how Pierre gets out next inning?

 

1-3?

4-3?

5-3?

6-3?

3 unassisted?

1 unassisted?

Burnitz grounds out. Inning over. Williams looking good, but still 1-0 Pirates.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Runs plz.

[Jon]

I would've put Walker at second (with the lack of offense tonight) and Hairston in RF.

 

i'm pretty sure all of us would. I really don't understand why Baker didn't do this.

I don't know. He wouldn't be guaranteed 2 ABs in that spot and it might be worth waiting until they get the right situation to use him. He's the only power they've got on the bench.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Good job, Jerome. he is pitching much better than he did in ST. night and day.

[stitchface]

I'll take 4-3

[cubweiser03]

This is exactly what jerome needed to do tonight.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Better than three HRs.

[radarluv1]

2-3 :(

[Flames24Rulz]

This is exactly what jerome needed to do tonight.

 

he's definitely gave us a chance to win tonight. Our offense just needs to wake up and put some runs on the board for him.

Member baker being [expletive] about hairston last year in LF.

[Outshined_One]

1-3 it is.

[Flames24Rulz]

1-3 is the winner...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

1-3 wins!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

this is getting old.

[stitchface]

pierre . . . is terrible.

[Omar]

Hairston strikes out. 2 down. Edited April 16, 2006 by Omar

[Flames24Rulz]

inside corner gets Hairston...

[Butterscup1679666578]

I disagree with a few calls in that AB.

[Outshined_One]

I don't mind Pierre taking his hacks, trying to beat the ball into the ground, and attempting bunt hits. Problem is, he gets behind in the count early and always ends up getting terrible pitches thrown his way...which he will make contact with and inevitably slap it on the ground to an infielder.

 

He'll get hot at some point, but right now...yeesh.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

..yeah

[Omar]

The crowd is getting loud.
