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

[Brian]

9th inning rally will be

 

Cedeno

Blanco

Neifi [educated guess]

Depends.

 

Bases empty = Neifi, for his great on-base skills

Somebody on = Mayberry, for his awesome power bat

 

might PH Mabry for Cedeno.

[Brian]

oops Jock is leading off.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Polanco walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-10 when they allow fewer than 4 walks.... 11-29 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Brian]

Mabry and Womack have great numbers vs. Todd Jones.

[moorecg]

Does anyone else think that the woman who feeds the stat info to the Cubs booth has the worst voice ever?

 

Is it Carrie Muskat? Maybe her awful voice carries over to her crap writing.

 

who knows, but it's like a dentist's drill to my ear

 

Could be worse.

 

 

.... Glendon could still be pitching.

 

Be realistic...when was the last time Glendon pitched into the 9th?

 

As a starter or as a reliever?

 

:-k

 

Either....I'm not sure I remember him ever pitching in the 9th....

Little League?

 

Aren't those 7 inning games? I'm still guessing he got taken yard a couple times by then...or he got hungry for the nachos from the snack shop.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wilson, pinch hitting for Rodriguez, blooped a single down the right field line,Polanco to third

[illiniguy]

Whoa Dusty is awake over there.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Did my eyes deceive me, or did JJ actually throw the ball on the fly to the cut-off man, as opposed to spiking it into the ground?

Sorry, he also had a CG in June and went 8 in May. Other than that, his career has sucked.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Dusty makes the only managerial move he knows---the double switch.

It's like watching Gary Kasparov in the Cub dugout.

[Brian]

"hoping to face 1 batter today" - hence the double switch.
