7/24 Cubs (Maddux) vs. Mets (Traschel)

[Illini Iceman]

Cedeno strikes out.

 

Cubs 8-4.

 

Cedeno is sinking fast. Can Theriot play SS?

[Fred Hornkohl]

In the first inning, Barret homered, Ramirez walked, Jones and Nevin douibled for 3 runs. Sorry, but I missed the bottom of the first.

 

Thanks Fred. I know you don't hear it enough, so I'll say it again,your play-by-play and stats are appreciated and really add to the game (sometimes the only enjoyment one can get).

 

Thanx for those kind words. I'd be doing pbp tonight except for the fact that I'm sitting in the truck at a loading dock in Elgin. Hopefully.... I'll be out of here shortly.

 

Wow, that's dedication.

 

No,.... I've been sitting here patiently waiting since noon today. Dedication is my loving wife who just stopped by and brought me some dinner !!

For those interested in future cub Arod (keep dreamin'), tonight in Texas he is 1-3 (5-3;1B to CF;FC) at the plate and has made the only two plays in the field he was involved in. Yanks lead Texas 4-2 after 5.

 

I frankly don't see how Arod can be traded (with his permission) during the season and besides, what would the cubs offer?

[A New Era]

Beltran almost made it 8-6. Long fly out.

[A New Era]

Double Play. Quick inning for maddux.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Where did that Pierre throw come from? A one bouncer to second base from the center field wall.....wow!

For your sake I hope you are getting paid for detention with power.

[Fred Hornkohl]

First time the CUBS have put up 5 in one inning since Sat 15 July against these Mets.

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Last time pierre stole a base before today?

 

He had one Friday night against the Nationals, and 2 in the game before that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Yeah, I'll get some detention pay out of this..... but it's never enough !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-11 when they make 11 hits or more.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Jim Ignatowski]

A win tonight for Maddux would be number 326 tying him with Eddie Plank for 12th all time. Next target is John Clarkson (pre-1900) @ 328; Steve Carlton is in 10th place with 329 wins. Number 9, Tim Keefe (another pre-1900), is 9th at 342 and I doubt Maddux ever gets there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-1 when they score 8 runs or more.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Illini Iceman]

I sense 15 day DL coming for Jones with a strained toe.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton really has been hitting well recently. I do hope that translates to increased playing time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 30-4 when they lead after 6 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Cedeno strikes out.

 

Cubs 8-4.

 

Cedeno is sinking fast. Can Theriot play SS?

 

Yes. He did in one of yesterday's games at Iowa. But, I don't know how adept he is at the position.

[Illini Iceman]

Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez are the color guys on the Mets broadcast tonight on MLB Extra Innings.

 

Anything that happens in the game leads into a story from one of those two about when they were playing.

 

A great defensive play? Hey Keith, what was the best defensive play you ever made?

 

A player gets hurt? Hey Ron, what did you do to rehab when you got hurt.

 

A fan eating a hot dog? Hey Ron and Keith, did you two ever eat hot dogs during that World Championship season?

 

Truly annoying.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Oh jeez. Is there going to be another Mets' grand slam against the Cubs? Edited July 25, 2006 by RonnieWooWooSanto

[Fred Hornkohl]

Maddog is flat out of gas !!

[Illini Iceman]

Maddog is flat out of gas !!

 

If this was 10 years ago Maddux would have gotten that 3-2 call on Reyes.

 

Everyone wanted Wuertz brought up, let's see what he can do in a tight spot here - need to throw strikes!

[Jim Ignatowski]

Maddog is flat out of gas !!

 

After 88 pitches. Come on Wuertz, whoops, Eyre.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wuertz facing one batter. Is there a right handed version of a LOOGY?

 

A ROOGY?

[David]

The Cubs are playing a game right now?

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Murton taking a scary route on that catch.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-18 when the opponent hits a sacrifice fly.... 31-42 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
