8/3 Game 1: Ari (Cruz) @ Cubs (Marmol) 12:05pm WGN/XM 186

Len said earlier that Ronny will play SS in the 2nd game. What better way to teach him how to play 2B? But oh wait, Dusty has to play Neifi at 2nd.

 

Get Baker's worthless rear out of this city.

 

Oh, and I don't like paying 40 bucks to sit in the rain for an hour, then have to leave before it is called for circumstances outside my control so I can't get a refund.

 

They aren't giving refunds to people who left early?

You couldn't go to today's game?

The fielding bible says in the past, all you needed was your ticket stub. They know that because they watched every ticket stub for every rainout of the last three years.

Why should they? They are allowed to scalp their own tickets, so why would they refund honest people money?

Nope - last year, the Tuesday game in the Padres series was rained out IIRC, and they refunded everybody and the Wednesday ticketholders got two for one.

 

That's really the only way they can do it with a non-division team. I don't think they could play a night game tonight because of their agreement with the city and the neighborhood.

Well, when you put it that way....

 

They've refunded in the past, even if you left early. I know the Yankees have, on occasion, done the same thing, even to people who never even tried to go to the game but had unused tickets.

Yeah, I remember a rainout last year, and I don't think you even could get a refund until a day or two later - so the people who stuck it out weren't in any better shape than those who did not.

 

I was able to get full value for an unused ticket.

If they would simply release both Nefti Perez and Glendon Rusch, I wouldn't care if they don't refund the money, as long as they get rid of the Cubs two Eddie Robinson's.

It it wasn't for Isturis' solid D, we'd be out of this game.

If only he could pitch, too. No one would attempt a sac bunt against him. We could go with four outfielders because he could just fall off the mound to his left and cover the area normally patrolled by the second baseman.

 

Unfortunately, he's coming off TJ surgery, and we know Dusty would work him until his arm fell off.

[neely crenshaw]

since it's soo bad right now and not much being done here...i have to say-

there is no substitute for speed....

 

 

 

 

 

 

weren't we all naive back then!

[coldsteel]

this Pirates' series this weekend could be HUGE.

[abuck1220]

heh, izturis looked legitimately confused after he got that walk.

I don't know if they would or not, but I was in the bleachers and the rain completely destroyed my ticket that was in my pocket, so I couldn't get one now anyway.

 

You couldn't go to today's game?

Nope. Today's my sister's birthday. But it doesn't look like I missed much.

[abuck1220]

dusty's so gonna blame this one on young starting pitching, completely ignoring the fact that the offense was terrible.

[Laura]

Congrats to Theriot on his first MLB RBI.

 

 

Too bad he couldn't have played more lately, especially since he has a glove and all.

[lowest]

10-2 now! rally time anyone? anyone....?

...

bueller?

[Chocolate Milk]

Barrett's OPS is up to 957.

I think their caps were pre-tipped.

[C.C.]

All right Izturis starts a little rally...And you guys said he stinks. :wink:

I can't wait! Unfortunately, the Royals appear to have the Fecal League all wrapped up, but I'm not ready to count the Cubs out yet. In Dusty we trusty!

How pathetic is it that the Cubs have the same number of hits (10) as the DBacks do today?

[abuck1220]

nice ab, mabry.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

The Cubs are 5-16 against the NL west now.
