7/20 Cubs (Z) vs Astros (Washed-up Leftie) 1:20 WGN

[C.C.]

Good god I can't stand Baker. I really cant!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Palmeiro, pinch hitting for Borkowski, flied out to deep center field , Taveras to third

[NorthsideAvenger]

WTF single than a wild pitch.. why is he still in there with a 4 run lead... Dusty ur a idiot

 

Come on dudes, Dusty is trying to save his job. So he has to ride the horses that got him here. I mean, he is determine to have Zambrano joined Prior/Wood on the DL. And then Baker can say...well, "I didn't have my horses."

[Fred Hornkohl]

Burke flied out to right field , Taveras scored

[ToupeeOnFire]

Jacque with a pretty good throw for him, it wasn't thrown into the turf and it was only a little bit off line instead of way off line.

I honestly can't believe that Dusty is this stupid? What reason is Z still out there?

[impaler_240]

Baker, he's done...WTF are you trying to do you idiot? :roll:

Was that a wild pitch?

 

I know it wasn't the greatest pitch, but Barrett could have shifted his body in front which he didn't. It just seemed to me more like a pass ball.

[Garwilly]

Z is not only amazing, he is so considerate, he allowed that run in order to ensure this is a save situation. =D> Edited July 20, 2006 by Garwilly

[Jim Ignatowski]

Maybe with Z losing his shutout he can come out of the game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, how many one, two, and three hitters has Z tossed this year? It seems like it's every start!

Baker, he's done...WTF are you trying to do you idiot? :roll:

 

Z could've had a nice and east 103 PC day instead Dusty has to stretch him out to friggin' 130 pitches!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lamb walked

[impaler_240]

Dusty is out there now...but he didn't pull him. :lol:

You're kidding me?

120 pitches. And he's still in the game.

[Mark Priors Calves]

please don't get hurt carlos.

[soccer10k]

Z gets out of it.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Thank you, Aramis.

[Jon]

Yay, 122 pitches in a meaningless game.

I HATE, HATE, HATE DUSTY! I really do! What the hell is the point?

[cheapseats]

No, Len, Dusty has not pulled all the right strings today.

 

Inexcusably stupid to bring Z out for the 8th. Baker should be fired immediately to prevent damaging arms in order to make his own W/L record look better.

[FloridaCubbie]

Dusty really needs to go.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

120 pitches. And he's still in the game.

 

Nolan Ryan once threw 235 pitches in a game. This 120 pitch game is child's play. :shock: :lol:
