[Chris]

Did LBJ just come over and say something to Arenas in between FTs? That's odd...

 

He missed both!?!

 

Oh wait this isnt a Wiz/Cavs game thread?

 

Damon Jones?!

 

Are you kidding me?????

CUBS are 11-7 when the opponent strikes out at least 6 times.... 3-6 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

You have a lot of free time.

 

No, when you get to be his age, you'll be filled with just as much useless info. :wink:

 

I kid. It wouldn't be a game thread without Fred's stats.

Go CUBS !!

Oh, please !! In this day and age of information technology, it only takes 15 min a day to compile this data. The computer does all the work.

 

btw.... it looks like they're gonna release me to go back to work next week !!

On the upside, you really can't blame Dusty for this team being so horrible. He's actually put out a good number of reasonable lineups this season and hasn't used guys like Bynum and Mabry to insane degrees like he has with guys such as Lenny Harris and Jose Macias in the past.

 

Heck, even Neifi hasn't had much PT.

[Omar]

9 Ks!

KKKKKKKKK

[Chris]

score please

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Sox coming back, 5-4.

 

God I hate them.

[Shavo]

score please

 

Perez, Zambrano, Pierre.

 

Nah.

[Master Shake]

THIS is the Z I've been waiting for all year!

 

Now let's see if the offense can score.

 

 

I know, I'm asking for too much there.

[cheapseats]

score please

 

Perez, Zambrano, Pierre.

 

Nah.

 

Big Z will hit a gapper to right center and stretch it into a triple. Book it.

[E.J.]

score please

 

Perez, Zambrano, Pierre.

 

Nah.

 

Z has a chance of going deep. That's the only way we'll score this inning.

[sweetpeteman]

stupid White Sox. Maybe someday God will decide that we deserve to have EVERY FRIGGN BREAK fall our way.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez popped out to shortstop

[E.J.]

For those watching the game, has Z been throwing a lot of offspeed stuff or has he gone with the sinker quite a bit?

[Omar]

Fred, do you for some reason keep track of Neifi's pop-up outs?

[otis89]

OOOOOOHHH. A 3-pitch at-bat for Neifi.

[cheapseats]

For those watching the game, has Z been throwing a lot of offspeed stuff or has he gone with the sinker quite a bit?

 

Sinkers. He's getting his strikeouts with high fastballs sometimes.

I've given him credit. And I have to admit, the Neifi/Macias 1/2 punch of last year seemed to generate more runs than this team is generating right now. :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano grounded out to second, 4-3

[BigSlick]

Sox coming back, 5-4.

 

God I hate them.

 

BOBBY JENKS GAVE ME A 40.50 ERA

 

YEA

 

HE'S MY CLOSER

 

ALONG WITH BILLY WAGNER WHO BLEW A SAVE

 

YES

 

YES

 

THANKS YOU

Thanks. He seemed to be throwing way too many offspeed pitches in his last couple of outings.
