5/24: Cubs (Maddux) @ Marlins (Moehler) - 12:05 p.m. CT- WGN

[Master Shake]

No! Marlins scored FIRST? That should be enough for the win!

 

 

SWEEP!

[Buford T Justice]

Who the heck is the Home Plate Umpire today? On the Sportsline Game Center looks like Maddux is getting anything called unless it's right down the middle of the plate.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 14-13 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 4-14 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Miguel Cabrera is going to make a good team a great team one day.

Maddux got a questionable called strikeout on Jacobs. I haven't seen any sign of him being squeezed.

[Buford T Justice]

I'm not sure accurate Game Center is but from there it looked like Cabrerra should have struck out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded out to short, 6-3

Miguel Cabrera is going to make a good team a great team one day.

 

But does he catch the ball? How fast is he? Can he sac bunt a runner from first to second? Can he play multiple positions in the infield? Is he a switch hitter?

 

Those are the things Cubs look for.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones bunted to third for an IF single

But, it appears that he can play Baseball which, is something the Cubs don't look for...

Ramirez hit by pitch, Jones to second

[Sammy Sofa]

Way to use that flab, Aramis!

[Balsa]

Jeez.

[Big Fergie J]

Seriously, do we lead the league in hit into DP's ?

[Sammy Sofa]

That was very kind of Murton, taking the "bullet" of the DP so Neifi wouldn't have to hit into it.

[gflore34]

Ramirez hit by pitch, Jones to second

 

Two baserunners in one inning? I didn't think that was possible, I thought it was against the rules.

[Chocolate Milk]

First pitch swinging double play. Very Neifi-esque.

[UMFan83]

Dusty: Murt! First pitch cut into a hard hit double play! Now thats what I've been talking about! Now keep doing that and eventually you'll get the good bounces. I remember getting the good bounces back in the day dude

 

Murton: Ohhh Dusty, tell me about these good bounces that you are always talking about!

 

*Murton sits Indian style around the base of the dugout eagerly awaiting Dusty's tale.

[Derwood]

that DP was so predictable I could just puke
