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

[texascub]

matt murton- no doubt about it!

3 2Bs, 5 RBI

 

His average is up to .291 as well. Too bad his OPS is still a terrible .760.

[texascub]

Blanco with a sac bunt, Murton moves to third now with one out.

[texascub]

Mabry just went out on deck so it looks like Mateo's day is done; his final line: 5IP, 6H, 3R/2ER, 2/3 K/BB, 8-5 GO-FO, 87 pitches/ 54 strikes.

[texascub]

Ronny walks, they pull Mabry back and Izturis will be the batter from the left side of the plate.

 

Edit: Ronny struck out, the last ball was only ball 3.

I think he's a guy that people shouldn't give up on though.

Haha, what the heck? That was strange. That certainly was ball 3, not ball 4.

[texascub]

Izturis remains in at SS, Wuertz in batting 8th.

[texascub]

Quentin grounds out 5-3.

[texascub]

Drew pops out to Izturis.

[texascub]

Easely strikes out on a slider low and away.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz 4 supreme commander of the universe

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Good thing we had him rotting away in Iowa.

[A New Era]

Wuertz 4 supreme commander of the universe

 

Until he sucks it up again. Then we can all turn on him again. :lol:

[coldsteel]

it will be both wonderful and hilarious when Mateo wins this game.

It would've been better had Marmol gotten a win as well.

[texascub]

Pierre scorches one high into right center but DaVanon got to it in time, Theriot flies out to right.

[MPrior]

Wuertz 4 supreme commander of the universe

 

I'm totally with you. I've always liked Wuertz quite a bit.

[texascub]

Ramirez bounces out 5-3 to end the inning.

[texascub]

Conner Jackson pops out to Theriot near the mound, Eyre coming in now...some sort of double switch going on.

[texascub]

Neifi in at second now :roll: He'll bat 8th, Eyre is batting 2nd.

[texascub]

DaVanon strikes out, Mark Grace will be singing the 7th inning stretch after the next out.

[MPrior]

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.

[texascub]

Hudson with a soft hit to center, Pierre's noodle arm couldn't get the ball back in and he stretched it into a double.

[sethuel1]

nice throw, Pierre.

 

But he's done so well in July.....
