[Jim Ignatowski]

Why did Larry go out to talk to Marmol after two walks? If walks are a bad thing for cub hitters, shouldn't walks be good for cub pitchers?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-16 when they score first in the game.... 9-43 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Agreed. We should allow the opposing teams to clog the bases. It can only help us by increasing the possibility of them becoming confused on the basepaths.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez flied out to shallow right center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lee struck out (called)

[Flames24Rulz]

Tiger wins another major.

An American kicks the Frogs in the Tour de France, again (8 in a row).

Cubs losing.

 

All is as it should be in the world of sports.

 

Some things never change :lol:

Baseclogging underway.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Church homered to right field , Anderson scored

[cubfan1955]

Well the homer kind of foils the baseclogging strategy. :cry:

That ball in the bleachers sure unclogged them. Dusty is so dang stupid he probably thinks the walk didn't score on the HR. Dusty needs to go manage the Nats, 4 walks in 3+ innings---no fundamentals being taught in DC.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Schneider grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

Armas flied out to right field

It takes a great manager to get your pitchers to give walks while your hitters refuse to take them. It's quite an accomplishment. :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano homered to left field

[Outshined_One]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand the Cubs continue increasing the trade value of guys on the opposing teams.

[cubfan1955]

We should sign this Soriano over the winter. I hear he can hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez singled to right center field Edited July 23, 2006 by Fred Hornkohl

[Outshined_One]

We're about to get swept by the friggin' Nationals. What's worse, all of our pitchers seem to be getting injured.

[Soul]

This has become comical.

 

What are these guys eating for breakfast? Cyanide? :lol:
