Way to cover first Eyrehead!!!!

 

June 7, 2006:

 

The day Eyre truly became a Cub.

 

Per the Sarge - it's up to the players to execute, don't hold us accountable for the lack of fundamental play...

[Sammy Sofa]

Aardvark is in to rock the joint. Hopefully some more Marmint action tomorrow!

[gflore34]

LOL...after Eyre's fundamental mistake (not covering first), ESPN focused the camera on Dusty Baker. The camera angle was such that Dusty could seen only between the batter's legs. I'm not certain if the symbolism was intended, but I was amused.

 

What Dusty-ism will we read of after the game for Eyre' lack of covering 1B?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Astros score 3 more.

 

Dammit, don't scare me like that.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wow...Pierre couldn't even hit the infield dirt on that throw. Edited June 7, 2006 by RonnieWooWooSanto

[E.J.]

I could seriously underhand the ball farther than Pierre can throw it.

[Sammy Sofa]

Astros score 3 more.

 

Dammit, don't scare me like that.

 

*Diabolical guffaw*

"My teams are not bad. My teams have good fundamentals. Just look at my team in San Fransisco. Gotta tip your cap dude"

[cheapseats]

It's always nice to see Pierre make a throw.

 

The Astros commentators called it a "loopy" throw to third.

[ConstableRabbit]

Nice play T-BB

[fiver]

1-0..top of the ninth..cubs down

[Ding Dong Johnson]

HEY KIDS, WHATS THE SCORE???

 

1-0, Redneck idiots.

[Sammy Sofa]

You on point, Phife?

[Big Fergie J]

[cheapseats]

Are you sure they weren't referring to Baker?

[soccer10k]

Can Barrett and Ramirez get Mission Impossible-esque masks and go up to the plate looking like Albert Pujols. At the very least it should scare Lidge.

[fiver]

Well we can comeback against Lidge can't we ?

 

:sigh:

 

everybody's doing it

[Banedon]

Awesome...meetings this afternoon so I couldn't watch the game, come back to hear that Kerry is gonna get his shoulder examined, and that we've been completely dominated by a nobody pitcher...yay!

[swordsman]

Alright! Just one run baby! Two would be even better.

 

And the heart of the order coming up.

 

let's see it now boys!

 

LET'S GO CUBS!!!

LET'S GO CUBS!!!

We did last year. I was at the game. Pandemonium.

[CubfaninCA]

Teams should just bring up their minor league pitchers when the Cubs come to town. this is bullcrap!

 

might as well put nevin @ 1b dusty and bat walker 2nd.

[Sammy Sofa]

You on point, Phife?

 

All the time, Tip.

 

*Nods*

The term "heart of the order" really can't be used this year.
