6/14 Astros[Oswalt] @ COBS!!![Maddux] - 7:05 pm CT on WGN

[Brian]

actually Mabry might PH for Murton.

Well that would be illogical. So you are right it will probably happen.

 

that is the frame of mind one must get into when thinking of what Dusty might do. it's a dark dark state of mind to be in.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Palmeiro, pinch hitting for Qualls, struck out swinging

[Derwood]

who let Dempster on to the field?? It's not a save situation.

 

must've been a mix up with the new Motorola wireless command center

yeah I always have to make sure to not watch a cubs game before I go into work. if I stay in that state of mind I can't skate by. At my workplace we have accountability.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-31 when trailing by 1 or more at the end of eight innings,

 

Go CUBS !!

You really have to love that the Cubs are celebrating having cell phones. Something high school age girls have had for almost a decade now. This organization hates new fangled thinking like cell phones and OPS.

:lol: There should have a commercial with Dusty trying to talk to the bullpen and not getting a signal.

 

Dusty - Get Demp up.

 

Bullpen - I CAN'T HERE YOU.

 

Dusty - Get Demp up.

Dusty - Can you here me now? Get Demp up.

 

Bullpen - .... Dusty are you there?

[indifferent]

who let Dempster on to the field?? It's not a save situation.

 

Seconded, is Dempster no longer closing? I could understand in a close game with the meat of the order up?

[illiniguy]

that was not a strike.

[badger1679666666]

Has bob ever heard of sample size?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lidge in to pitch for Houston

[Jim Ignatowski]

Murton, Cedeno, PH coming up in the ninth.

 

Well aren't you the optimist thinking Dusty will pinch hit.

I don't think he's pitched in a couple of days.

He still is. Dusty figured since he was warmed up he might as well bring him in. Can't necessarily say I blame him

[Butterscup1679666578]

Nice game, Matt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton struck out (called)

[moorecg]

So I'm too lazy to go back and read the whole thread...and I've been on vacation for a week so if there was an injury i missed it...was there a good reason for Walker not playing tonight or was it a Dusty reason?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno popped out to second base

[Brian]

OMG it is Mabry :x

[Butterscup1679666578]

MABRY. >:O

[anemic offense]

Mabry's up. We got em where we want em now!

[Outshined_One]

Congrats to whoever called Mabry for PH.

[soccer10k]
