First pitch popups rule!

[Tim Burr]

I suppose I'll fill in for Fred again!

 

Thank you, you are doing a very nice job!

How in the world did Pierre hit a ball deep enough into the outfield for a ground-rule double?

[Schwarber Fan]

Juan Pierre hits a ground-rule double to CF

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Aram was only going to get a single. But, if he really wants to watch the ball maybe he should buy a ticket and sit in he stands.

[otis89]

I think it's safe to say no one cares anymore.

Rickie Weeks lines out to 3B

Jeff Cirillo grounds out to P, 1-3

If only the fans going to Wrigley Field felt the same way, you would see some changes made right now. When the Trib sees it don't matter how the team does, the place is still sold out, those in power don't care either.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

I think it's safe to say no one cares anymore.

 

I care very much. It just that it is painful sometimes to watch/listen to the Cubs right now. I dont expect unicorns and faries to appear when Baker gets fired, but I do think it will be a weight off this teams sholders. New blood, new attitude, new appreciataion for OBP hopefully.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

On a Other Cubs note... Dontrelle Willis hit a granny tonight off of the Mets Lima.

Didn't they just bring Lima in a couple of days ago?

 

That's a rude welcoming.

Is Willis that good, or is Lima that bad?

Lima could be worse than Rusch if that is possible!

[Schwarber Fan]

Top 3rd

 

Carlos Zambrano lines out to 2B

Todd Walker flies out to deep CF, Pierre holding at 1st

[Tim Burr]

Why didn't Pierre try to steal? This team really has mailed it in!

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Whats the over/under for this thread not making 10 pages?

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Pat and Ron chatting about how the majority of the Cubs games are at home after the break. Then they quicky changed the subject.

[ToupeeOnFire]

So Neifi appears to officially be in a platoon with Todd Walker?

 

Bruce, can you explain to us how Busty is actually this stupid?

By platooning Walker (.211 BA vs. LHP), Dusty is trying to artificially inflate Walker's averages in order to make him a more attractive trade commodity.

 

OK, that's probably not what Dusty is thinking, but that would be kind of shrewd.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bottom 3rd

 

Zach Jackson grounds out to P, 103

Rickie Weeks singles to CF

Jeff Cirillo flies out to deep CF, Weeks holding at 1st

Geoff Jenkins lines out to RF

 

0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors, 1 LOB

[Outshined_One]

So...I'm guessing that was the third or fourth time Jock has successfully laid down a bunt in play in his life?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Jacque bunting...WTF.

 

Santo is beside himself right now.

[coldsteel]

that *almost* got Ron to yell "WHYYY???" but it's too early in the game yet.

[Outshined_One]

See, Brenly being able to call that kind of play and say it's a good idea is pretty good evidence for why he shouldn't be brought in to manage this team.
