7/31 Diamondbacks (Webb) @ Cubs (Prior); 7:05 CT, CSN Chicag

[Sarcastic]

that was what, 7 pitches?

 

Eight. Two for Pierre, one for Neifi, and five for Ramirez.

[Caryatid]

8. Pitch. Inning.

 

 

 

 

8.

[Caryatid]

I don't think I've ever hated this team more than I do today.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Boy, it's nice to see Juan Pierre still on the team. No way any team would have given up good prospects for him.

 

Pierre and Neifi were joking around before the game and talking about today's Cub trades. Then they started talking about next year and Pierre said, "We might not be around next year." And then he started rolling around on the bench laughing.

8. Pitch. Inning.

 

 

 

 

8.

 

The theory there is that if they don't let him get warmed up he'll never get his good stuff. Thing is dude in the dugout forgot to tell them it was 100 degrees out.

[Mark Priors Calves]

I'm afraid that tonight's lineup will represent the majority of the lineups we'll see the rest of the season. I really hope I'm wrong.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

This is seriously the first game I'm too disgusted to watch.

[da bears]

Well there's one home run given up. Game. Set. Match.

[cjbucks]

Not only do we get Izturis but we get to keep him through 2008!!

[ToupeeOnFire]

This is seriously the first game I'm too disgusted to watch.

It's disgusting to listen to, Hendry is on with Pat and Ron right now. Says it's a "great day for everyone."

[cjbucks]

"We're about to turn our defense around 100%!!" HOOOORAAAYY :roll:

[ToupeeOnFire]

Bwahahaha...Hendry called Izturis Furcal.

[Caryatid]

Not only do we get Izturis but we get to keep him through 2008!!

 

Someone's going to have to save us when Neifi signs a huge FA contract with the Yankees after the 07 season.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Jim Hendry said he couldn't understand why the Cubs weren't winning earlier in the year. God help us all.

[ManCrushOnNomar]

are you Chicago people getting this game on INHD? Because it's blacked out for me.

[da bears]

Jim Hendry said he couldn't understand why the Cubs weren't winning earlier in the year. God help us all.

 

I tried earlier today to try to understand how that man was indeed a general manager of a major league team. My head almost exploded. I don't even want to hear more because it just makes me angry.

[Jon]

Nearly forgot that Fitz is singing tonight. Bah. I'll have to watch...

[cjbucks]

WHY ARE MABRY AND PAGAN STARTING AGAIN INSTEAD OF MURTON AND/OR NEVIN?!?!

 

I'm sorry for the shouting, but my head really feels like it's going to pop from all the frustration. Seriously, what the 'eff?!?

 

 

Well if you had been paying attention in the pregame you would have been there when Dusty explained that Mabry really knows how to elebvate the ball against Webb :P

 

Told ya!!

[A New Era]

There's one half of our stellar IF defense for next year getting a single. Go Ronnie!!

[sweetpeteman]

Bottom 2ND B:0 S:2 O:3

Mark Prior bunt grounds out, pitcher Brandon Webb to first baseman Conor Jackson.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT?

[cheapseats]

Hendry just said that they were going to do a deal for 2 "really good prospects," but when he found out Izturis was available, he obviously wanted to make the deal for Cesar. :x

[Mark Priors Calves]

Could Hendry make it any more obvious he never wanted Walker on this team?

[Drew Doughty]

Hendry just said that they were going to do a deal for 2 "really good prospects," but when he found out Izturis was available, he obviously wanted to make the deal for Cesar. :x

 

it'd be awesome if coletti came out and said "Yeah, we were offering them Guzman and LaRoche for Maddux, but he insisted on Izturis, so we jumped on it."

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Hendry just said that they were going to do a deal for 2 "really good prospects," but when he found out Izturis was available, he obviously wanted to make the deal for Cesar. :x

 

I wonder if Dusty helped nudge him toward Izturis the veteran.

I wonder if Dusty nudges Hendry...
