4/18 Cubs (Big Z) @ Dodgers (Lowe) 9 pm WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loney singled to right field, Mueller to third

[Rob]

In Houston

 

Wild pitch, runners on 2nd and 3rd with two outs in the eighth... down 10-12 with a full count in the eight inning.

 

Hall up, Lidge pitching.

[Coach C]

*sigh*

 

Come on Carlos...

[Andy]

Come to think of it, I don't like Mueller either.

I have no problem with Mueller, I do have a problem with the fact that he won an AL batting title as soon as he left the Cubs, where he never played a full healthy season.

 

And Z better not melt down here.

[BeerHere]

Zambrano walks Mueller.

 

walks can kill the goat! :twisted:

 

Fixed

[Chris]

It definitely caught my attention. He said "northsidebaseball.com.....that's nsbb.com"

 

So he definitely drew attention to the site. I was like, whoa----this site's gettin' big! Time for some more bandwidth Mr. Tim!

 

Combine the shout with the discussion with Andy MacPhail, Dave Keller and Julio Garcia last night, and the site has had a great 24 hours!

[killthegoat06]

ugh, 1st and 3rd.

 

like i said. Mueller better not score.

[Rob]

Threat ended in Houston.

 

Going into the bottom of 8, Mil 10 Hou 12

[BeerHere]

I think the MacPhail interview should be on the front page.

[Coach C]

What's this Maddux vs. Lofton discussion?

 

See yesterday's game thread. Not sure what page it is, but it's deftinaly in there. I think it was about that Lofton haven't faced aganist Maddux before, even though he has.

 

Or something along the lines like that.

[Brian]

Z

[Flames24Rulz]

Z with a big K :)

[Coach C]

Dodged a bullet there. Nice job to get out of the jam Carlos.

yep. that was it.

[Andy]

What's this Maddux vs. Lofton discussion?

Len erroneusly stated last night that Lofton had never faced Maddux, which led some people on here to research that he had in fact faced him in the 03 NLDS and the 95 Series.

 

Z K's him! NICE job Carlos!

[Rob]

Z makes him look foolish!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And Zambrano K's Navarro!

[Blueheart05]

Carlos, stop walking people!

[killthegoat06]

Z makes him look foolish!

 

71 pitches though. That's worrisome.

[ToupeeOnFire]

I just turned on the Astro/Brewer game on MLB audio. Lidge just struck out Bill Hall with the tying runners on 2nd and 3rd to get out of the 8th. Hell of a game it sounds like.

 

12-10 Astros going in to the 9th.

At least are back end is pitching well, so we just need a l ead and 2 more innings.
