5/8 Cubs (Maddux) @ Padres (Young) 9:05pm CSN/XM 188

Well it's not like we havn't worked Young. 100 pitches through 6 innings, is nothing to write home about in terms of efficiency.

 

I'm wondering how we made him make that many pitches through 6 but only scored 1 run?

the same way we had 10 hits the other day and 1 run

everyone who has gone to bed or quit watching: you are not true Cubs fans. You're just here for the chicken wings.

I can't eat chicken wings this late - hand me another beer.

Why is Howry throwing in the bullpen?

[oldstyle81]

just think when the cubs get back to wrigley, it will be in the 50s with the wind blowing in

[oldstyle81]

Why is Howry throwing in the bullpen?

 

to waste a arm for a day

[stitchface]

that's what happens when you hit all singles.

[badger1679666666]

dempster could use some work.

[Rob]

So at the rate this season is going, I'm gonna burn through 2 bottles of bailey's a week...

[badger1679666666]

Holy Jesus, a meaningless HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOT!

[cheapseats]

JOCK STRAPPED!

[Chris]

Nice style points

[oldstyle81]

just think, tomorrow it could be tied 1-1 in the bottom of the 9th and Novoa gives up 714 to bonds to win the game

[cheapseats]

Does Dusty remember that Dempster is in the bullpen?

 

Maybe he could get a spot start since he hasn't pitched since April 12.

Neifi and Bynum get in the game before The Riot, and I wonder, what's the point?

[UBlink]

Like I said -

 

The good news is that Chris (Cy) Young is usually only good for around 100 pitches and he's at 85 through 5.

 

That HR was pitch 101.

[badger1679666666]

Neifi and Bynum get in the game before The Riot, and I wonder, what's the point?

 

I mentioned before, the Riot isn't listed on the Bench. Maybe he didn't out there in time? Maybe he's joining the team vs. San Fran?

Dusty, the 2 main stats that are meaningful in a baseball players are such:

 

On Base percentage

 

and Slugging Percentage

 

thats it.

 

not speed.

 

not...your face.

 

not...being named neifi perez.

 

Just those.

He's our only big bat on the bench. We have to save him until he's in a position to hit a 3 run HR.

Who on the bench has those? Seriously?

[cheapseats]

Perez looked gassed rounding third.

[srbin84]

Neifi and Cedeno getting something going.

But with a 6 run lead SD can afford to stretch him out a little.
