4/28 Cubs (Maddux) vs Beermakers (Bush) 1:20 PM CSN/WGN

[moorecg]

Neifi with the one pitch out we're accustomed to.

 

 

Jones with 9 rbi so far this year...you know, he hasn't been good, but he's far from our biggest problem.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco flied out to center field, Jones holding second

[Mark_R]

I don't think Pat and Ron even mentioned Neifi popped up.

 

Must have been an implicit foregone conclusion for the listener.

[Banedon]

We should put what XM channel its on

 

Good idea.

[BeerHere]

Neifi and Blanco saw two pitches between them

[Danny82]

It should be pointed out that Aramis and Jones' doubles were on the first pitch.

 

It's fine to swing at that first pitch if you get a pitch you can drive.

[Brian]

3 straight doubles, and then 2 outs on 2 pitches.

[goonys evil twin]

Not unexpected. The knock on Matty is he's been too patient, but the small zone makes it a good day to be patient. He took two balls, then got a good pitch to hit. I bet he'll do it again.

 

Murton? I wasn't aware there was a knock on him, he's been hitting fine. He's hardly been too patient, no matter what Cubs coaches say.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Whitey out on his first pitch too. ugh

[Garwilly]

I am going to miss the end, bowling for charity at 3 pm CST

 

How much are they paying you?

Haha, free food though...gotta buy my own beer...can you drink at a Charity event???

 

 

If it is for liver disease, prob shouldnt.

 

If it is for recovering alcoholics, prob shouldnt.

 

Any other charities and I would say it is encouraged.

[da bears]

So the Cubs have a pitcher on the ropes, and the next two batters decide to swing at the first pitches they see? Interesting approach. Come on Maddux.

[Tedward]

Blanco flied out to center field, Jones holding second

 

Too bad Neifi at worst couldn't get Jones over to 3B. :roll:

[Danny82]

3 straight doubles, and then 2 outs on 2 pitches.

 

3 doubles on 5 pitches.

[ToupeeOnFire]

The sucky part of the line-up is living up to its name.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I don't think Pat and Ron even mentioned Neifi popped up.

 

Must have been an implicit foregone conclusion for the listener.

 

That's nearly sig-worthy

[Banedon]

Oh snap.

[goonys evil twin]

Whitey out on his first pitch too. ugh

 

3 doubles, 2 outs, 7 pitches.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

It's a shame that Maddux has a better approach at the plate than Neifi and Hank.

[mhuber92211]

Can I just say that the Stanley Cup commercials with Kiefer doing the voicer over is just startling and scary

Boys and Girls Club? And Pediatric Cancer? Probably will have to bowl sober...shudder

Are you guys really ignoring the fact that they "got the pitcher on the ropes" in large part by swinging at his first pitch?

[Brian]

3 straight doubles, and then 2 outs on 2 pitches.

 

3 doubles on 5 pitches.

 

sorry for my wording I didn't mean 3 doubles on 3 pitches.

 

 

Maddux with a great AB, he should be hitting 7th.

[Banedon]

Can I just say that the Stanley Cup commercials with Kiefer doing the voicer over is just startling and scary

 

Lots and lots of Kiefer voice overs on commercials now.

[UMFan83]

Man Prince really rebounded from his slow start up there. I hear he's leading the NL in hits now? Not bad.

 

Perez sickens me in the lineup. He is the complete opposite of the type of hitting team we've been all year. I can't wait to see Jones hit a 2 out double only too have Perez come up and pop up to the 2B on the first pitch

 

QFT except the 2 out thing.

[BeerHere]

Maddux saw more than twice as many pitches as Neifi and Blanco combined.
