Unbelievable. A 430 foot flyout. Nice try Jacque.

 

And Mabry decides to swing at the first pitch.

[jjgman21]

Someone should call out Neifi on his lack of hustle there.

 

Great. Run him out of town just when I made a Neifi T-Shirt using an enlarged version of my sig.

 

I thought your sig was stolen from a tshirt design.

 

It was. But I just made a quick iron on version for myself. Ethical? Probably not. But I'll wear the shirt a few times as a joke and throw it out.

hmmm, off-day on Thurs, Guz last pitched Saturday

 

Actually it shouldn't be a problem if his pitches are very limited.

 

I'm not worried about Guz tonight, I'm just wondering what this means, if anything, in Dusty's world of the pitching rotation.

 

I'm actually going to Wrigley this weekend due to events out of my control and I have a mild interest in figuring out who pitches.

 

 

I wish I had that bum luck.

They announced earlier tonight that it was Marmol Friday, Zambrano on Saturday-They tried to push Z back a day, but Z was insistent on pitching on regular rest.

[jjgman21]

Warning: This will likely tick some people off, but someone answer me these questions, please:

 

I hate Novoa, but I give him props for getting out of the jam (thanks should go to the overaggressive Astros, too). I figured the game was over with the bases loaded and one out, even when there were two outs I thought something bad was going to happen. Why is it that some of you have no problem ripping guys but can't give them props when deserved?

 

Why did some of you blame Novoa for giving up a hit when the pitch to Burke was ankle high? Just curious if some of you are on here to talk about baseball -- the good and bad -- or just on here to gripe.

 

That's all.

 

I was out of the room and didn't see it. chances are I would have cursed luck if the hit were lucky, not Novoa.

Yeah, no kidding. Don't go if you're not going to enjoy it, Serena.

I'm getting sick of balls hit more than 400 feet being outs.

I can't speak for others, but I'm just on here to gripe.

These types of games remind me why, even after all the stomach punches and groin kicks the Cubs have given me, baseball is the best sport ever created.

I wish Murton would be insistent about playing more regularly.

It wasn't really either-just Burke having a really solid hit on a good pitcher's pitch.

how about balls it 318 feet turning into a game changing triple?

Minute Maid Park is one of the stupidest parks ever. Period.

[minnesotacubsfan]

can Neifi pitch after he pinch hit?

Because we're 50-68.

 

 

I dunno, Novoa has been pretty bad all year so I figure anything he does good is pure luck
