4/26 Marlins (Olsen) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 PM WGN TV

[mhuber92211]

How is this an ugly game? I am encouraged by the offensive production today. 5 runs on 4 hits. With the lack of a strong lineup I like that we maufactured the runs

[fiver]

shadows will be half way b/w the plate and the mound in the bottom of the 9th increasing our chances to score exponentially....that is if we get out of the top of the 9th in the next hour or so

[RyCubsFan]

While he has good offense and speed. Would we really want to sign that arm to play centerfield for long term?

 

He has good offense?

 

So we have heard, and not seen this year.

 

 

Or last year.

[Butterscup1679666578]

STOP DOUBLE CLUTCHING.

[cubbyvirus00]

Hairston, Jones and Pierre got all that speed dude.

 

Thats why all 3 are O-fers today.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ronny's assassination attempt is foiled.

too

 

 

many

 

 

walks

 

 

not

 

 

enough

 

 

clutch

 

 

hits

[KatJ]

Nice to see that Larry has finally found his map on how to get to the pitcher's mound.

[Blueheart05]

Ronny's throw almost cost a run.

[Chris]

ugh

[goonys evil twin]

Sure seemed true. I remember seeing lots of Grace walks and hits go for naught.

 

The majority of all hits and walks go for naught.

Apparently the propaganda blitz on how he his so hard to strike out and has the third most hits in the last 5 years hasn't sold you yet!

[Geech]

And the game is only tied if Dusty doesn't pull Jones.

 

You can't assume everything would have stayed the same. Nevertheless, a terrible decision.

 

Why did he pull him? Anyone know?

[cubbyvirus00]

here it is...

 

Neifi

Mabry

Pierre

 

back to back to back jacks!

[Brian]

time for '03 JoBo to own the cubs.

[LoneStarCubFan]

So what's it gonna be? Three-pitch K or weak grounder to short on the first pitch for Neifi?

 

I say three-pitch K.

[Banedon]

Pie needs to come up and Jones needs to go on the DL with a "sore calf" or something else made up.

[Notorious]

And the game is only tied if Dusty doesn't pull Jones.

 

You can't assume everything would have stayed the same. Nevertheless, a terrible decision.

 

Why did he pull him? Anyone know?

 

He finally realized that Jaques Jones was in right field? :)

[Coach C]

And the game is only tied if Dusty doesn't pull Jones.

 

You can't assume everything would have stayed the same. Nevertheless, a terrible decision.

 

Why did he pull him? Anyone know?

 

I'm guessing his poor performance on the plate today.

haha apparently not. I'm sure glad we gave up three young arms for him though when we have a centerfielder better than him playing in Iowa.

To quote Tim: "I'm not sure Dusty realizes he can pull the pitcher and not do a double switch."

For a double-switch even a Little League manager wouldn't make.

[Blueheart05]

I'm still hanging the blame on Williamson (whether they win or not).
