[Sammy Sofa]

MURTOWNED!!!!

[cjbucks]

Money Murt is back!!

[cubfan1955]

Bynum is on deck for Wood.

[Warpticon]

Isn't it great how our 7 & 8 hitters are better than our 1 & 2 hitters?

[Sammy Sofa]

Is Dempster not at the game today? Something about his wife having their baby?

He was not available Yesterday and his wife had the baby yesterday. He is back today.

 

Hmmm...maybe the funk was a mental thing, and having that kid will see him come out and dominate again.

 

I hope.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno popped out to second base

[Big Fergie J]

Bynum is on deck for Wood.

 

I don't like this move......then again I ain't the skipper.

[cubfan1955]

I don't mind seeing him pull Wood after 85 pitches. I would have let him bat though.

[jaydee]

CUBS are 13-7 when they get a quality start.... 5-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

i didn't realize the lack of quality starts this year...wow

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bynum, pinch hitting for Wood, struck out swinging

Wood could have done that well or better.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Go CUBS !!

Yeah.... when your staff has an ERA of 4.96, you ain't getting quality starts !!

Yep, I would have let Wood bat and if he got a hit then let Bynum pinch run for him.

[Tim Burr]

Wood has been ouchy, I think Baker made the right move here. Of course, the bullpen never seems to hold the lead for him. Maybe today will be the day!

[Sammy Sofa]

Freddie isn't just bad, he's...

 

BYNUMBINGLY-BAD!!!

Only if Eyre can pitch 3 innings :lol:

 

I predict Dunn/Kearns homer coming

Matty Murt softie single.

 

I can't remember who said the Cubs think Murton will be a power hitter. I sincerely doubt that...

 

Looks more like a 2-hole hitter at his best if he continues to improve.

 

Sometimes statements can backfire badly. Here is some crow.

[cubfan1955]

Freddie isn't just bad, he's...

 

BYNUMBINGLY-BAD!!!

And still he is better than Pierre.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Aardsma in to pitch for the CUBS

[Sammy Sofa]

Even a dog has his day.

 

Or Neifi Perez.

 

Aardsma's in? Does Dusty hate Wood?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-6 when they score at least 4 runs.... 3-25 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[cubfan1955]

YIKES!!! Aardsma does not fill me with confidence.
