7/22 Marshall and crap @ Nats (Hernandez) 12:20 PM CT FOX

[TruffleShuffle]

omg Cubs did something right

[Outshined_One]

Very stupid move by Soriano there. Marshall looked him back and he was out by a mile.

Yeah, but I think a lot of the time, once the pitcher looks you back, you figure the Cubs are going for the double play and won't notice the runner breaking for the plate.

[Jim Ignatowski]

This is looking like a cubs intra-squad game.

[Outshined_One]

Is this the 3rd straight game that Lee has sat out? Did he re-injure his wrist or something??

 

No dude, we're sitting him for the stretch run. It's like playing with your toys, you know? You've got your GI Joes, your Transformers, and your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all fighting each other. At the start of the battle, you put out all the action figures and vehicles you don't like and have them beat each other up, kind of like the pawns in chess. You have Shipwreck trying to kill Bumblebee while Mondo Gecko rides around on the Pizza Cycle. But as the battle goes on, you start deploying all the cool guys like Shredder, Destro, and Megatron. When they get out there, man, they cause havoc! That's what Lee gives us, dude.

FOX just had an interesting stat...this year's Cubs have the 4th lowest BA with RISP and 2 outs from 1974-2006.

I guess changing uniforms didn't hurt Kearn's Cub killing status

2B is cursed

Pierre popped out to third base

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez grounded out to second, 4-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez grounded an IF single to third base

[Derwood]

sweet. FOX just switched me to Mets/Astros. So much for that

[AllStarMe]

No more game for me, instead Fox thinks the Astros/Mets pregame show is more important than showing a game thats actually in progress.

 

I don't have cable, so I never get to watch games on WGN, ESPN, or anything not on network TV. I was so happy to actually get to watch a cubs game, and one they were WINNING, oddly enough.

 

 

 

 

 

God I hate FOX.

2B is cursed

 

If you ever want to be massively depressed, find a list of everyone who has played 2B since Sandberg first retired.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hernandez doubled to right field

[Jim Ignatowski]

Ramirez grounded an IF single to third base

 

OK superstar Fred, you're the show now that Fox has decided that most of us get to watch real baseball teams and can't follow the cubs today. Thanks for your usual outstanding job! :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano tripled to left center field , Hernandez scored

[Outshined_One]

Anyone else find Livan chugging around the bases to be hilarious?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez lined out to second base

[Jon]

I flip by the game and see that hell froze over.

[otis89]

An outfield assist by a Cub?! :shock:

[Outshined_One]

I can't figure out if that was a poor throw by Jacque and a great play by Blanco or just a great play by Blanco.
