Sigh, Ramirez lines out to Wilson in left. :(

 

It looked like he got pretty good wood on the ball, too... he's not pleased

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-48 when they trail by 1 run or more at the end of 8 innings.

 

Go CUBS !!

[cheapseats]

Good thing Walker doesn't play more.

 

Yep, as stated earlier in the thread, Walker has a career .388 OBP and .512 SLG vs Clemens in 47 plate appearances.

Wilson doubled to right field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus sacrificed, 5-4, Wilson to second

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Walker is so worthless. We should DFA him.

 

Are you related or a family friend to him? I'm ot kidding or being sarcastic. It's an actual question.

 

No. But I do think he is a productive player.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Embarrassing

[Fred Hornkohl]

Everett squeeze bunted to third, 5-4, Wilson scored

[CP_414]

Why was no one looking at the plate? Wilson did not step on it until after they made the play at 1st. Barrett went out to field the ball so he had his back turned, but Howry should have seen that.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Walker is so worthless. We should DFA him.

 

Are you related or a family friend to him? I'm ot kidding or being sarcastic. It's an actual question.

 

No. But I do think he is a productive player.

 

I agree. But, he did have a bad game on Sunday and is not immune to a benching after that kind of game. Sort of like Arod not starting yesterday after his 3 error game.

 

It's hard to argue Theriot's chance to start. Neifi on the other hand is another story, but he does have very good numbers against Oswalt that warranted his start yesterday(even though I hate him in there).

Arod is injured. That's why he didn't play.

Neifi has good numbers vs. Oswalt so Neifi starts against him.

Walker has very good numbers against Clemens, but Walker doesn't start against him.

Lidge in to pitch for Houston

[UMFan83]

Jones better hit a HR to make up for his shoddy play in right

No he's not he played in the eight and ninth inning of that game and played the entire game today.
