8/3 Game 2: Ari (Gonzalez) @ Cubs (Mateo) 3:55pm WGN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I hate Dusty Baker. Wuertz was pitching very well. Why take him out? I know Hudson's a lefty, but give him a chance! Plus, he took out Theriot, who I know I'd like to see more of, and put in Perez, who I think most people would like to see much less of.

 

Wuertz threw 22 pitches earlier in the day during game 1. I don't have a problem with him only going 1 inning. Dusty's obsession with double switches is hilarious/frightening.

They were talking about how Grace brought the heat with him in his duffel bag, and his response was "Don't worry, it was just Brennamen's clothes". Not much but the way it came out was funny to me.

[texascub]

Pagan to 2nd. They're crediting him with a SB, but the ball went back to the bricks.

[texascub]

Murton with his 4th double of the day to right center, Pagan held up at third.

[Jon]

Murton helping out his SLG%.

[texascub]

Grace is impressed with Murton overall and is questioning why he doesn't play. Murton's 4 double day is the first by a Cub since Billy Williams in 1969.

[texascub]

Beautiful squeeze play, and Blanco almost reached as well.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Nice job by Blancolaying the bunt down for the squeeze.

Shows how much I know. I didn't realize he had pitched earlier today.

What's the score?

Doesn't that tie the ML record for doubles in a 9 inning game? Either way, helluva game Matty! =D> =D> =D> =D>

[lowest]

hopefully it will only be a matter of time before murton's power really explodes- and i think it will be.

[WindyCity]

What's the score?

 

7-3 Cubs

7-3 Cubs

Did you get the impression that Grace was about to criticize Cubs management but held back a little bit? It was funny the way he said "Well I know he hasn't been playing every day because of.... for some reason or another I wouldn't know."

[texascub]

Green K's to start out the inning.

Semi-shot at Dusty Baker there.

Agreed, he took several shots at both teams and seemed to overall still support the Cubs more.

 

Bob Howry coming into the game now.
