5/9 Cubs (Hill) @ San Fran. (Schmidt) 9:15 WGN/INHD/XM189

[Master Shake]

Could it be a walk? Yep!

[Outshined_One]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

 

Cry about it, wimps.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bonds walked, Niekro to second

[Flames24Rulz]

Has Hill thrown a slider yet since being called up?

 

i seriously think the only pitches he's thrown are the curve and his 89 mph fastball.

[Master Shake]

I'd be seriously surprised if we don''t give up more runs here.

[JC]

Giants give up an out right away and the Cubs give it right back by playing the infield in.

 

Serial mismanagement.

[Outshined_One]

Call it, blue.

I'd be seriously surprised if we don''t give up more runs here.

 

Thank goodness Felipe is doing his best to prevent a big inning.

 

Seeing other managers do dumb stuff like that makes me worry that the Cubs will replace Baker with someone just as bad.

[Choonch]

lol...the Cubs are about to "break out" according to Dusty.

Serial mismanagement.

 

Is that like your wife buying Fruit Loops instead of Cheerios ??

[Master Shake]

I must be drunk. Did Hill get a strikeout?

[Flames24Rulz]

Hill's fastball reached 91 that time. Fastest I've seen it since he's been up on the big league team.

[abuck1220]

geez, hill's not gonna survive if he doesn't get that call.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Feliz struck out swinging

Hill HAS a slider?

[abuck1220]

Not sure, but someone stole Dusty's Lucky Charms a loooooong time ago.

[Outshined_One]

This ump isn't helping Hill out.

[abuck1220]

come on, blue! bonds isn't still up there.

[YearofDaCubs]

I dont get WGN here but during the Bonds AB on ESPN he hit 95mph.

[Master Shake]

The games are easier to watch when you expect the worst.

[Jon]

Thanks for the sac bunt, Felipe.

For those of you watching and not listening to Pat and Ron, Ron just mentioned not seeing a slider or changeup yet from Hill

[abuck1220]

real nice recovery by rich. got the last two guys w/ his pathetic fb.

 

not a bad inning aside from the leadoff rope. would niekro's ball have gotten thru had the infield not been in?
