Faints...Jones homers.

[Warpticon]

Jones is a lot more tolerable when he doesn't suck.

[Blueheart05]

WOW, that was crunched. Nice Jacque

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I could watch Pujols hit all day. Now, watching Jones swing gives me the opposite type of feeling.

 

 

hahaha

[minnesotacubsfan]

joooooooooooooock

 

 

all this kid does is hit hr's agains st> lois

[Blueheart05]

Haha, they threw it back. Copycats.

[RynoRules]

Jones is a lot more tolerable when he doesn't suck.

 

That's the best assessment I have ever read on this bd. regarding any player. Honesty is refreshing.

[CuseCubFan69]

Why in Gods green earth would you throw a pitch like that to Jones? I'll take it but that is some pretty dumb pitching by Marquis.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

dude, and that was an inside fastball. :shock: i didn't see that coming, considering he swings at and misses that pitch 99% of the time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton struck out swinging

hahaha

 

If you believe in luck you can write that statement each time Jonesy is up. :D

[RynoRules]

Cuse: See the above. I've watched Jones whiff at inside fastballs just about every day since he got here. He might finally be making an adjustment.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

why? b/c he can't hit the inside fastball the vast majority of the time.

[minnesotacubsfan]

god neifi pisses me off

 

 

just seeing him pisses me off

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez bunted out to first, unassisted

[badger1679666666]

When will Neifi realize he sucks at everthing and isn't fast either?

[Blueheart05]

dude, and that was an inside fastball. :shock: i didn't see that coming, considering he swings at and misses that pitch 99% of the time.

 

Well, if he closed that whole, a la Lee, we'd have something. :wink:

[UMFan83]

Poor Murt is really struggling. I'm convinced that he will turn it around eventually, but I hope its in time before Dusty starts looking for other options...

 

See if a Cub made the play Pujols just made, he'd break his ankle and be done for the year.

[A New Era]

Wow, Pujols hit it so hard that Ramirez backed up a few steps after catching.

 

This game looks like a good shot at a win, but this is exactly how it looked up until the 6th yesterday...

 

No it doesn't because Maddux is on the mound instead of Rusch!! :lol:

[Andy]

Bob: Would've been easy for Pujols to slide over the top of that bag and have Neifi stomp on that right ankle...

 

ndistops: ...but he's not a Cub, so he didn't.

[CuseCubFan69]

Neifi runs like those old Babe Ruth homers that they show on Classic.

[cubfan1955]

That could have been a dangerous play at first between Pujols and Neifi. Unfortunately, both are okay. :lol:

my deepest fear is that Hendry and Baker have given up, and is the reason Gooz is up. A feature start for a possible trade for Kearns???
