7/2 White Sox (Cy Buehrle) @ Zambrano (and crap) 1:20 CSN

[Outshined_One]

DOUBLE SWITCH!

[soccer10k]

Even with the Cubs winning I can barely handle listening to Hawk and DJ. It's virtually unbearable.

[cubweiser03]

pirates got the bases loaded with 1 out.

[Brian]

DOUBLE! SWITCH!

 

 

sooo Howry is going to close this out, or is the double switch just so dusty could get another one in?

[soccer10k]

Well at least that makes it a save opportunity.

 

The way Dempster has been going, I wouldn't say this is a good thing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

OMG, the Tigers are just trying to give the Pirates a win. The bases are loaded with one out in the 9th.

[KaiserCesar]

Geez....can any of these Cubs pitchers keep a guy in the park?

 

If they lose this game, I swear I won't watch another single Cubs inning the rest of this season....

 

I've lost a ton of interest. I'm really watching this because I got nothing else to do. Now, if a managerial change is made, and some moves are made, and some kids play, then I'll have to check some of it out.

[cubweiser03]

This is just making Hawk more excited and when they lose even better.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Pirates have the bases loaded with 2 outs down by one run.

 

Jones pitching

Humberto Cota hitting

 

4-3 game over

Detroit wins!

Another brilliant double switch by Baker...

 

That was not a double switch.... jones entered the game as a pinch hitter and stayed in.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I really don't care if they win or not anymore. Winning is better than losing, but I realized this was a bizarre season once Prior returned but started pitching like Todd Van Poppell.

Hey now...don't call Fred stupid! :wink:

[KaiserCesar]

And Cota grounds out, Tigers win.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Lets get some more runs!!!

[Brian]

So is Howry going to at least going to start the 9th or was the Todd brought in for his defense?

[KaiserCesar]

Those two fans just shown on WGN are the biggest fools ever.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-7 when they allow 4 or more HRs in the game.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-4 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Blueheart05]

That's not going to endear him to Baker...

 

I was just listening to Sox radio (670) and Farmer commented on Williamson's comments today (intimating that Baker was playing favorites). Right before the homerun Farmer said, player should stay out of the manager's head and go out and play). I have to agree...

 

If a player is willing to go out and say those things, the manager has more problems that a player getting in his head.

 

I think it says a lot about the player (and it isn't positive). IIRC, it was Williamson who fueled the rumor that the Cubs might try to trade him at the beginning of the season because he said he still wanted to close. I didn't think that was appropriate (just like today's comments). The guy has the ability to be a great pitcher but with his injury past and propensity for wildness he should just shut up...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee struck out swinging

[Brian]

Rusch back tomorrow, Dusty's stable will be loaded
