6/16 Detroit Tigers (Robertson) @ Cobs (Rusch) 1:20 PM - WGN

[JGalt73]

Len just said, "The Cubs are inching their way back." :roll:

 

Unfortunately there are 63,360 inches in a mile.

[Chocolate Milk]

Gameday says Pierre grounded out 'sharply.' Must have been a titanic blast. I bet it didn't leave many of the Wrigley faithful with their eardrums intact.

[goonys evil twin]

The Cubs front office just issued a press release advising the Hank White has been signed to a 3year extension.

 

With a player option for a 4th.

Rodriguez struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ordonez flied out (foul) to right field

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Goooooooooooooooz!

[Outshined_One]

Luh-loyd is the bullpen coach in Detroit?

 

I'm speechless.

[gflore34]

Rodriguez struck out swinging

 

Whoa there, two batters, two outs? Ok who kidnapped Guzman? or, is that Marmol in his uniform?

The Cubs front office just issued a press release advising the Hank White has been signed to a 3year extension.

 

Actually he signed the extension at the beginning of the year, and the Cubs brass has just been waiting for Blanco to have a multihit game before they announce the signing.

[E.J.]

Glad Guzman didn't start this game...

 

geez...

So how long until Len and Bob start drinking on the job? If i was in their shoes I probably would have quit already or laughing hysterically at this team every time they screw up.

[goonys evil twin]

I'm telling you, Guzman, Marshall and Hill should get into some sort of tag team rotation where they try to get 3-4 innings from two of those guys every 5th game.

LOL. The pitcher sure thought so as he had time to stretch 5 feet off the mound to his left side for it.

[Flames24Rulz]

Why the hell wasn't Guzman starting today???

[Ding Dong Johnson]

4 batters, 3 K's, 14 total pitches.

 

Goooooooooooooooooz!

[FergieJ31]

Goooooooooooooooz!

 

Da Gooz mowin' em down, and the Tigers are bummed that BP is over.

I think Bob's already on something, suggesting that the Tigers should hit and run and sac bunt with GLENDON RUSCH on the mound and the WIND BLOWING OUT.

Considering Marshall's and Guzman's injury histories, that's not a bad idea.

[noisesquared]

This thread was much more entertaining when Rusch was pitching. Watching Guzman come in and do well is definitely a mood-killer.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker singled to right field

Just think about what may happen if the offense gets going and Gooz keeps it up...signs of the Apocolypse

Not as crazy as some here might think.

 

I know some clubs use tandem starters in the minors - each guy expected to throw about 4 innings.

 

The Cubs have 12 pitchers on the roster, so it's not like they couldn't do that sort of thing.

 

Hill/Guzman and Wood/Marshall?

[woodchip2153]

bunt here?

Don't worry, the offensive woes will get our mood back to where it needs to be.
