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

[Monco]

Should have pulled Rusch after the k and then trade him when his value peaked

[CuseCubFan69]

Rusch is up...is he getting ready for Tuesday or is Hill going up?

 

Hill's pitching tonight for Iowa.

 

That's not the answer I wanted. Please try again.

 

...cupcak taste gud?

 

Ha....

 

Deadwood is pretty good tonight, time for new hobbies.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright doubled to left center field , Delgado to third

[sethuel1]

Glendon in for one of his patented game-out-of-reach scoreless relief appearances.

 

You gotta get the 75% "good" appearances from somewhere, right?

[oldcubsfan]

He made a put out. :shock:

 

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: x infinity.

 

Whatever, I don't see how you can defend him, he's not a good fielder.

 

Today's game not withstanding, the attacks on his defense are VASTLY overdone. VASTLY.

 

That's just ridiculous. He's one of the worst 2B at turning the double play. I'm tired of the argument about his fielding percentage because that doesn't tell the story. He doesn't get to most balls and, again, he usually doesn't position himself well enough to turn the DP which is crucial for his position. His reputation is well earned (and judging by the Cubs inability to move him in the offseason, other teams feel that his offense does not outweigh his defensive miscues).

 

 

NEVIN!

 

Walker's offense isn't that good either

 

Are you joking? You must be joking. He's conistetnly been one of the top 5 offensive 2B in the game over the last few years. His only knock offensively is that he struggles against lefties.

 

You really must be kidding. It's a joke right?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Floyd grounded out to short, 6-3 , runners holding

[illiniguy]

Well after this debacle and the inevitable sweep at the habds of the Stros, Dusty has to be gone soon, he just has to be.

And yet he won't be... :roll:

Yeah, you can make the argument for Walker, but all you're allowed to use is batting average, homers and RBIs, because all other stats mean diddly squat.

 

Now try and make the argument, lawl at dusty, you young whippersnapper punk.

Bell in to pitch for New York

[AR-Baseball-Fan]

Did anyone else see ESPN show the fan with a bag on his head? I missed what it said. I wonder if he was someone from NSBB.

It just says "Disgruntled Cubs fan"

It said "embarrassed Cubs fan" I think.

 

EDIT: Disgruntled, not embarrassed
