4/29 Cubs (Rusch) vs Beermakers (Davis) Round II 1:20 WGN

Murton singled to center field

[Shilzzz]

Wow. Just saw that Glendon Rusch gave up 4 HRs. That's 11 HRs in 22 1/3 innings. Absolutely brutal. If he is still in the rotation after today, Dusty needs to be flogged.

 

whatever. he's a crafty veteran who has been around the league and seen these hitters before. he's also a lefty. if you don't have these types of players on your team you can't win. he's also proven that he can hit, and it's important to have a stick like that in your lineup every 5th day.

 

:evil:

At least we aren't going to be shut out.

Now that we have guys on the roster like Pierre, Jones, and Bynum:

 

I think we're more versatile, more athletic, I think we'll run a lot better and we'll play better defense.

Gross walked

but not hit.

Cirillo popped out (foul) to the catcher

[Careless]

despite the fact that everyone would have reached out to catch the ball, a fan is seen holding his arms in to his body so blanco can make the catch. But I must be hallucinating, since no one would ever do that

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fielder walked, Gross to second

[Coach C]

Man, what a slaughter. Even Custer had better numbers at the Little Bighorn than this. :x :evil:

Jim Hendry: "I think we're more versatile, more athletic, I think we'll run a lot better and we'll play better defense."

 

That's what Hendry said after signing Jacque Jones. I crack up every time I read it.

 

Yep, we're definitely playing better defense, and I suppose we run better. As for being "more athletic," who cares? I'd rather have a baseball player than an "athlete." I'm not sure what he meant by saying we're "more versatile," but I think it's code for "we now have guys who can't hit the ball out of the infield but can run real fast, so we'll play for one run even more often now than we used to."

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are on a pace to commit 77 errors this year..... compared to 100 last year

[cheapseats]

That bounce just caught Henry in his Blancos.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Clark singled to left center field, Fielder & Hall scored

[Vinestal]

Its bulpen implosion day at the ole balpark folks! Yesss sir. lol

[cheapseats]

I'm laughing at the people who paid $125 for Dugout Box seats. Everyone else has left the park, but they're staying to get their money's worth.
