people should really stop booing him if they haven't already, jacque has been busting his rump out there. did you see how hard he ran down the line on the dropped third strike earlier in the game?

 

I'll boo who I want when I want and you can'y tell me otherwise. All real Cubs fans will boo these gutless choking dogs. [/typical boo'er]

 

 

 

Seriously though, Jones has lost a ball in the sun andairmailed the catcher, otherwise nothign to complain about recently.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-3 when they lead after 8 innings

Jones has pretty much done what was expected of him, imperfect as that may be. If I were the Cub GM, I'd be dangling him as trade bait. But we all know that isn't going to happen.

Encarnacion struck out swinging

[ToupeeOnFire]

Dare I say it, do we sweep tomorrow?

Freel grounded to short, safe at first on a throwing error, E6

GO CUBS!!

[Shilzzz]

holy crap! two games in a row?!?!?!?!?!

[soccer10k]

CUBS WIN!!

 

I don't think we manage 3 in a row though. This is the Cubs. I would like 3 in a row.

[sunnydoo]

Nice to see someone else playing like the Bad News Bears.

 

The Jolly Green Giant could have been playing 3b and Valentin would still have overthrown him.

 

Freel bouncing a throw from 2b to 1b. That was funny, but nice play by Hatteberg digging out.

 

Encarnacion falling on his butt then flinging the ball towards first was pretty funny.

 

But the topper was the look on Encarnacion's face when TWack laid the bunt down and he went to throw it to first. Surprise! No one covering. Narron then came out to switch pitchers and yelled at Freel. That was classic.

Good to see Jones starting against a lefty again. I'll be needing a laugh or two tonight while I'm working on my two 15 page papers

 

I was hoping he'd prove you wrong when you said that. So just had to bump this. Good job JayJay. He was DYNOMITE!!
