7/16 Cubs (Marshall) vs Mets (El Duque) 5 pm ESPN

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno grounded an IF single to shortstop

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I did the exact same thing as Woodward in softball on friday. Took the step back to get the hop and couldn't get the guy at first.

[CuseCubFan69]

I was in Chicago when it was in the 90's in 99!

 

I don't like Marshalls plate coverage on his bunt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marshall struck out swinging

[ToupeeOnFire]

Miller mentions that the Cubs are dead last in home runs (and subsequently, last in runs scored). I wonder what Morgan is thinking, since he is the one that was always criticizing the Cubs for being too home-run oriented.

Just turned on the game (ESPN)...how many other pearls of wisdom from the Arm Flapping HOF'er?

"Blah blah blah Ryne Sandberg sucks blah blah blah Big Red Machine blah blah blah I hate computers..."

 

Joe hates their statisticians, by the way.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

"They're trying to come up with statistics for runners moved and stuff, but I think we have too many statistics already"

 

There's gonna be a great FJM entry about this game, I just know it. Joe's in rare form.

 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA, and now Joe doesn't believe that Jones is 0-53 at 0-2

Do it yourself, I'm too busy hitting myself.

[paraphrasing, but basically true]

 

joe morgan: "i wanted to ask you about the offense, the batting average isn't bad, but you guys dont take a lot of walks."

baker: "yea we need more long ball"

[illiniguy]

I love that he deflected the walks question by immediately bringing up the lack of power. Unreal.

[Butterscup1679666578]

and joe morgan just said we need another "horse" :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Woodward flied out to center field

[illiniguy]

and joe morgan just said we need another "horse" :shock:

That is to go with the Donkey we have managing the team/

[ToupeeOnFire]

Morgan starting to make a modicum of sense... God help me.

plz explain

 

I was referring to the 0-53 thing when the count is 0-2, but looking back at the thread in general discussions, Truffle didn't do the research himself.
