7/4 Astros (Pettitte) vs Cubs (Prior) 1 pm WGN

[Sarcastic]

Prior back to the DL after fouling that pitch off his leg. :shock:

 

He'd better not end up being hurt. It took him about a minute before he was ready to get back to the plate, and he didn't look that comfortable going down to first.

[Brian]

Prior would have gotten a hit if those bases weren't all clogged up.

[texascub]

Though I'd like to wait a little longer, it is starting to look more & more like Cedeno just isn't a major league quality starting SS.

 

I think they should take the same approach with him that the Astros have taken with Everett. His defense is pretty good, his bat just needs to catch up now. He's still only 23 so he's got time to develop.

Ha! I was just kidding about it but it wouldn't surprise me if he was hurt.

[texascub]

Wilson strikes out swinging.

I hope you're right. Could be looking at another washout with the coaching staff working with him though.

[texascub]

Ensberg hits the first pitch into left center.

[texascub]

Everett grounds out to Cedeno to end the inning.

[Flames24Rulz]

On the positive side, we're not losing yet.

Is it a coincidence our younger players get worse the longer they around Baker & Co.?

[cubfan1955]

It's early.

[texascub]

Pierre with a double down the left field line.

[texascub]

Bob: "Juan is just in heat right now"

 

I really don't want to know those details, Bob.

[B]

Did Brenly just say Pierre was "in heat"?

[texascub]

Lamb almost makes a nice sliding catch on a bunt popped up by Neifi, but he drops it.

[cubfan1955]

Dusty giving away outs again.

[texascub]

Dusty giving away outs again.

 

Especially since Neifi can't even get a bunt down.

[texascub]

Neifi grounds out to 2nd, Pierre advances to third.

[texascub]

Derreck single to right, Pierre scores.

[cubfan1955]

I'll never understand why they pitched to Lee there but I'm glad they did.

[cheapseats]

Dusty giving away outs again.

 

And Len questioned Dusty's strategy.

[texascub]

I'll never understand why they pitched to Lee there but I'm glad they did.

 

Ramirez may be slumping but he's still very dangerous.

[texascub]

Ramirez with a laser beam snagged by Ensberg, Lee holds at first.

[texascub]

Barrett bounces out to Ensberg on the first pitch to end the inning.

[cubfan1955]

Yeah, but I'd still rather pitch to ARAM. And if they had the Cubs would not have scored.
