5/29 Reds (Ramirez) vs. Cubs (Wood) 1:20 P.M. C.T. CSN

[Outshined_One]

Dammit, what's happening?!?

 

Aurilia hit one in the air. The ball hit off the wall behind the basket, bounced off the basket itself, then plopped out onto the field. Murton ran over and picked it up like it was in play and the umps called it a double.

 

Aurilia or Freel?

 

It was Freel.

 

I get those scrappy MIFs on the Reds confused. ;)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Not even the Cubs could figure how to lose this one now could they?

 

Man.... don't got there !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

OML a win!

[louisvillecub]

Freel and Felipe are the two I always get backwards.

 

I'll never confuse Aurillia with anyone, 'cuz he's one of those ex-Dustyites that I fear us trading for some day.

CUBS WIN!!!!

[Big Fergie J]

Alllllrightttttttt Cubs !

 

Way to go Kerry.....very nice outing.

[Jehrico]

Oh yeah...

 

 

WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

Time to buy stock in the North Face, cuz hell just froze over!

[cubfan1955]

I will remember Memorial Day 2006 for years. If felt like the Cubs won a World Series.

 

(Gotta find your joy somewhere! :D )

[Sammy Sofa]

Dempster had a scary moment, but even if it had gone it was just one run...he locked it down and got 3 k's over 5 batters...way to go, Ryan!

[Shilzzz]

the cubs won and pierre got an rbi!?!?!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are now 2-6 when they don't draw a single walk.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Drew Doughty]

I called it :wink:

 

Looks like the Cubs played pretty well for a change. Probably not a sign of things to come, just good to see we're not completely inept out there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

CUBS are now 2-6 when they don't draw a single walk.

 

Go CUBS !!

 

We didn't draw a walk?

 

Way to ruin the victory, Fred. :lol:

[Jehrico]

My fear is that with us winning one out of every 4-7 games is just enough to prevent any needed changes from occuring. Hopefully not...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are now 2-6 when they don't draw a single walk.

 

Go CUBS !!

 

We didn't draw a walk?

 

Way to ruin the victory, Fred. :lol:

 

Sorry 'bout that...... but it is what it is !!

[Derwood]

only 12 more wins in a row and we'll be .500 again!

 

:x :x :x :x

[Fred Hornkohl]

If it helps.....

 

The CUBS are now 5-1 when they get 13 or more hits.

 

Go CUBS !!

[hawkcub]

Did anyone notice the one guys shirt when they panned the crowd at the end of the game that said:

 

Fire Dusty

Fire Hendry

Fire MacPhail

 

:lol:

Yep and I noticed how fast the camera got off the shot too :roll:

But with 13 hits, that's a .351 obp. Nothing wrong with that!

[NorthsideAvenger]

I say:

 

The Reds are up 3-2 in the bottom in then ninth. David Weathers loads the bases on 12 straight Ricky Vaughn balls. Nefti Perez comes up with a chance to win the game, but promptly on the first pitch grounds the ball over to third base. Shocked that he even made contact with the ball, just look dumbfounded. Encarnacion takes the grounder, touches third, throws to 2b, and who in turn throws the relay to first. For the seldom seen game ending Triple Play.

 

After the game...Perez is giving the lifetime achievement award for saving David Weathers career.

 

Question: Would the above scenario top losing a game on a 2-run sac fly? Or an infield fly bouncing off a defender's head?

 

Would it matter?

Did anyone notice the one guys shirt when they panned the crowd at the end of the game that said:

 

Fire Dusty

Fire Hendry

Fire MacPhail

 

:lol:

 

I believe it actually read:

 

Forget Dusty

Fire Hendry

Fire MacPhail

[hawkcub]

Sorry, they took the camera off that guy so fast it was hard to read it all. I just assumed that's what it said.
