Eckstein struck out (called)

[Chocolate Milk]

Sit down little boy.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Luna grounded out to third, 5-3

[cubweiser03]

TLR probably laughed his ass off when he saw mabry bat 5.

 

The same Larussa who thought Juan Encarnacion hitting 2nd was a good idea?

 

His thought is put him in the 2 hole to give him better pitches with Pujols/Edmonds/Rolen and make him better than what he is. Mabry makes Aramis worse.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pujols walked

[Blueheart05]

Very nice start for G-Unit

[Soul]

Rolen K's.

 

Walker ran us out of an inning. Not good, but I understand what he was trying to do.

[Balsa]

Glendon looks really sharp so far...

[Vinestal]

That is exactly what they should do evertime Poohole is up with no one on.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rusch

[frostwyrm]

Albert and Aram better put on their walking shoes.

Ron Santo: "I'd like to see Pierre be a little more patient..."

 

You and me both, Ron.

 

Pierre is seeing more pitches per plate appearance than any Cub except DLee. I was surprised.

 

Cedeno is seeing fewer pitches than even Neifi.

That surprises me as well, but it probably says just as much about the rest of the Cub line-up as it does Pierre. What frustrates me with Pierre is how often he falls behind in the count 0-2 and 1-2. Usually, a missed or faked bunt is involved. I'd guess the reason he is seeing more pitches than the others is that he makes good contact and is able to foul away pitches on 2 strike counts.

 

I know this is what we were supposed to expect with Pierre. It's just frustrating to watch.

[UMFan83]

Remember, G-Unit had 6 innings of Perfect Game ball last year in St. Louis

[Chocolate Milk]

Rolen K's.

 

Walker ran us out of an inning. Not good, but I understand what he was trying to do.

 

I don't. That was about as stupid as it gets.

[tinkers1]

Yes he does and I thought the 1-1 pitch to Pujols looked like a strike but because he didn't swing he's getting that umpire thing where they don't call it on him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones lined a single to right field

[Blueheart05]

JJ singles to RF

[treebird]

guess what guys im making my first flashchat appearance of the season so everyone should probably come enjoy the spectacle

[cubweiser03]

Jones with his 2nd best hit of the year.

[Andy]

Very nice KoJock.

[Schwarber Fan]
