Who wants to take up a collection to pay Bruce Miles to ask Dusty why he thinks Jim Hendry signed Eyre and Howry?

 

I would chip in for that.

I'll start by just emailing Bruce about it. If I don't get anywhere, I'll pass out the collection plate.

You must be related to Hendry...overpaying... :P

[soccer10k]

TAKE Z OUT NOW.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

dusty here is how it works...you walk out of the dugout. put your hand up and say time blue...walk out to the mound (DON'T STEP ON THE FOUL LINE)...say atta boy z we got you...take the ball and put you're right or left hand up depending on which guy you want...

[Omar]

I've always wondered.... Who are the bullpen catchers? Are they guys who never made it big? How much do they get paid?

[brinoch]

Aram swung the bat -- it wasn't a bunt attempt. I'm watching on MASN in DC.

 

you get MASN? Who's your cable provider? Or do you have Satellite?

 

I have Directv, plus Extra Innings, but it's on MASN as well as the MLB Extra Innings channel 744.

:D

 

nope.

[CubfaninCA]

lol. marshall and wood are due up next. it's highly likely howry and eyre could appear in both game.

 

z has it under control.

[CubinNY]

Dusty is actively trying to get fired.

 

It's like Costanza eating Strawberrys and wiping them on the Babe's Jersey.

[sunnydoo]

now dusty is either going to have to burn a lefty, or let Eyre face Guillen with multiple runners on base.

 

i want to kill Rothschild.

[soccer10k]

I love how they show Dusty and Rothchild in the dugout and they're both just sitting there like nothing's wrong.

 

Anyone have a pitch count on Z now?

115-119 range........

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Lo Duca drives in Reyes....mets back on top in the 7th

[hrowengartner]

120 is what gamecast says

That's what I have too.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Are you kidding me??? Z has thrown 105 pitches, and we didn't even have anyone warming up? I've tried to give Dusty the benefit of the doubt for quite some time, but this guy is proving to be a moron...

One thing I've noticed about Baker. He'll never preemptively have the bullpen warming up in these situations. He always waits until the first sign of trouble and usually doesn't pull the pitcher until it's too late. Baker is reactive rather than proactive.
