It is my opinion that Perez and Uribe are the same player except that Uribe has a little more power and doesn't fool himself into thinking he can bat left handed.

The stupid "stretch" :evil:

[Soul]

This is so ghey.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano flied out to right field

Bingo.

 

Neifi bats lefty so he can try to beat out all the groundballs he hits to 2nd so he can work off all the baby fat.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-23 when they get at least 8 hits..... 5-28 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Pierre's BA (and OBP) creeping up. He'll settle around .280/.330 and be re-signed to a 3 year deal.

[KaiserCesar]

Pierre's got the batting average and stolen bases up there now. Good enough to trade to some moron team for actual talent.

[cheapseats]

That Pierre flair!

Pierre caught stealing, 2-4-3-6 Edited July 2, 2006 by Fred Hornkohl

[KaiserCesar]

Is Baker going to have a talk with Pierre like he did with Cedeno yesterday?

 

EDIT: My bad, it was Cedeno missed sign.

Ronnie missed the hit and run

[UMFan83]

Well good, we are winning, but we are showing the fundamentally inferior skills that should get Dusty fired

It will be ronny's fault

Yeah, I caught that on the replay.

 

SORRY JP

It really does seem though that the Cubs miss a lot of signs.

It will be ronny's fault

 

Technically, it was. Pierre looked back which means it was suppose to be a hit and run. Ronny also shook his head because he knew he missed it...

[cheapseats]

The hit and run is akin to the sacrifice bunt but entails more risk with only a slightly higher reward

maybe it's hard to realize what exactly the sign is when it invovles the position of a toothpick and how many times the manager flicks his tounge ;)

Isn't it possible that Pierre got the wrong sign though (not saying that is true, but's possible)

Seriously, why do that there? Dumb decision, poor execution.
