so, who's the pinch hitter?

 

2:1 says Mabry

 

if it's not Murton, I'll be throwing things.

[Monco]

Mabry was on deck when Blanco was up.

[CubinNY]

Make no mistake. This loss IS on Dusty.

 

Edit: If the Cubs lose.

dempster wants dusty fired.

Yes, there could be a silver lining.

 

...yeah right!

 

Dusty didn't give up the 3-run homer. We should be booing Dempster.

[BigSlick]

CUBS are 15-0 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Be prepared to fix this.

[WindyCity]

so, who's the pinch hitter?

 

2:1 says Mabry

 

He IS left-handed.

 

My money is on Bynum.... which would be a stupid decision.

which generally is little help against a change-up . . .though I haven't looked up Hoffman's splits.

[Monco]

The bright side is Hairston,Neifi and Blanco won't bat this inning! :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hoffman in to pitch for San Diego

Yeha, dempster gave up the HR, but when was the last time he pitched. That would be Dusty's fault. It's also Dusty's fault for bunting Pierre to 2nd w/Piazza catching. Just dumb, dumb and a whole lot more dumb. The game would at least be tied at this point if not for DUMB.

But Mabry or Bynum will. Dusty isn't smart enough to use Murton as the pinch-hitter.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm calling it: Theriot walkoff HR

[CubinNY]

It's actually funny in a sick sort of way. Just when you think it cannot possibly get worse... it does.

 

I fully expect Pulojs to hit 8 HRs and save the game. Then some Card fan will post a video for us in case we missed it.

Fred, when was the last time Dempster gave up a homerun in a save situatinon?

 

Don't know off hand. That one would take a while to look up.

[Monco]

26 saves in a row until today.Booing him would be ridiculous.

[Balsa]

My god. Dusty and Jones are the reason we're even playing the 9th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mabry, pinch hitting for Dempster, grounded out to third, 5-3

[brinoch]

Here's a piece of advice for Mabry... RUN!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

perfect mood here in Rochester, pouring rain

So true.

 

I really can't even care at this point. Its actually amusing to see these guys flounder out there.

[Monco]

Wow,is Mabry slow!

That makes me want to puke.

Juan Pierre's going yard here.
