08/15 CUBS (Mateo) @ Houston (Clemens): THE BIG MURT!!!!!!!!

[CuseCubFan69]

The Riot should be in the Neifi role next year :( To bad he'll be gone when Bynum is back.

 

I forgot about Bynum...thanks a lot!

 

Well, he'll be back pretty soon and Theriot will be sent back considering that Bynum is starting for Iowa tonight.

 

And I was in such a good mood too.

Ugh..I really had completely forgotten that Bynum was ever on this team. He's not signed for after this year, is he?

 

Off the top of my head, I don't think so. Too tired to look it up but I think he's signed through this year only. At least that's what I'm hoping.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Huff singled to left center field , Scott to second

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yay Wuertz!

[Andy]

Wuertz will save the day.

he's a first year player on the standard non arbitration eligible MLB contract I think. so the answer is no.

[CubColtPacer]

What the heck...the one time Baker doesn't double switch and of course it's Theriot.

 

Where would you have suggested a double switch? Mateo was fine at the end of the inning-and you certainly don't double switch when the 9 spot was just up, as it just was.

Bynum is under Cubs control for the foreseeable future because he's a rookie.

 

Wow, how did that not get out?

 

Dang, I guess I was wrong. That's depressing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wuertz in to pitch for the CUBS

[Jim Ignatowski]

Man we really need the cubs with a three run lead, two out and none on in the bottom of the ninth---then a fastball in the middle of some Astros' butt.

[jjgman21]

why throw that pitch to Huff after he looked bad on consecutive curveballs. come on Henry.

[Andy]

Cubs bumping everybody again for the off day Thursday with Z insisting on going on normal rest.

 

I love how 24-year-olds are the most qualified to determine when they're ready.

he's under control, but represents zero financial obligation after this year. they could let him go and not pay him a dime.

[Butterscup1679666578]

What the hell was that

[jjgman21]

this park sucks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Everett tripled to left field , Scott & Huff scored

[Andy]

Wuertz + inherited runners = bad idea

What I'm saying is that Baker usually does a double switch and if it was Perez hitting he would be playing second right now.

 

Ouch, Everett had a good swing on the foul and he had Weurtz down.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus walked

I wonder if Dusty would let 17 year olds drink beer in the clubhouse if it meant they were showing their mental toughness.

[Soriano12]

how stupid is dustbag...get weurtz out of there..he doesn't have it tonight.

[UMFan83]

We're going to lose because Dusty didn't want to expose a pitcher to a HBP, I hate the Cubs

[Andy]

This team sucks.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Cubs' bullpen blows Mateo's chance at a win.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Let's just start plunking everybody.
