5/4 Cubs (Hill) @ Arizona (Cruz) 8:40 PM WCIU/WGN-720; XM188

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez popped out to second base

[Master Shake]

I think that the problem with this team has not been looked at seriously...

 

THe pitching and hitting coaches are just not doing their jobs.

[Derwood]

i watched the Bulls during commercials of my other shows. The real Shaq finally showed up and Chicago had no answer. Had he shown up earlier it might have been a sweep. Tyson looked like a child trying to stop a bulldozer

 

good thing we let Curry walk

 

Curry can't defend Shaq.

 

I didn't mind letting Curry go, but it did kind of suck that the Bulls couldn't find a true post player as a replacement.

 

Curry's defense of Shaq would not consist of taking a little contact, flying 10 feet backwards, then pouting at the refs with his arms raised in despair every play

[otis89]

Hopefully Ramirez will at least lift the bat off his shoulder in this at-bat.

 

Uh, that's not exactly what I wanted you to do.

[JonnyRed]

Hopefully Ramirez will at least lift the bat off his shoulder in this at-bat.

 

Why, so he can just pop up again?

 

Oh, nevermind. Too late

[Drew Doughty]

Hooray! He lifted the bat off his shoulder!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker grounded out to second, 4-3

[badger1679666666]

Well Aramis is smack on the mendoza line.

[moorecg]

one pitch..one out

 

That's impressive baseball

[otis89]

3 pitches. 2 outs. Simply pathetic.

[cjbucks]

Ramirez popped out to second base

 

He leads the league in pop outs on the first one or two pitches.

[moorecg]

3 pitches...2 outs. That's hard to do.

[cubbyvirus00]

but kerry wood will rescue the offense!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton singled to center field

[badger1679666666]

3 pitches 2 outs.

 

you know this team is kinda fun to watch - just in the sense that they possibly defy logic and get worse EVERY game.

[otis89]

but kerry wood will rescue the offense!

 

He is a good hitting pitcher.

[E.J.]

At least Murton doesn't suck. It's too bad the rest of the team does.

[otis89]

3 pitches...2 outs. That's hard to do.

 

Didn't Smoltz have a 3-pitch inning against the Cubs last year?

[Fred Hornkohl]

bad jock bad

[badger1679666666]

but kerry wood will rescue the offense!

 

Well he did hit that double off the wall in the NLDS and the homer in game 7 of the NLCS.

 

I'd rather have him bat than Neifi, Jones, Bynum, Blanco, Restovich, and Mabry.

[E.J.]

What was that, 7 pitch inning? Good job offense.

[Flames24Rulz]

as if my night couldn't get worse, I see that the Cubs are also losing and that the offense is as awful as usual.

 

this is looking like it's going to be a long summer.

[moorecg]

A first pitch Jock didn't swing at...that's also hard to do.
