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

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno flied out to right field

[UMFan83]

Brenly's obsession with Catchers is approaching the line into creepy.

 

Details plz for those w/o tv volume!

 

hes been blabbin the last few ininngs about Barret and Blanco before that...

 

Well he is a former catcher...

[cheapseats]

Great game, really impressed with Mateo and Guz, maybe there is a future for the Northside 9 (err...25)

 

Good thing one will be sent down soon so Wade Miller can showcase his talents for whatever team is going to sign him next season.

LOOK AT HOW BARRETT WAITS UNTIL THE LAST SECOND TO REVEAL THE LOCATION OF THE PITCH, AS NOT TO TIP OFF THE RUNNER

[bsc970]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded out to first, unassisted

[texascub]

I turned the game off figuring it was over, but forgot to close gameday. When I went to close it, I saw the game was still going :shock:

Understood, but you don't hear Joe Morgan going nuts over pre pitch positioning of middle infielders.

Eyre's injury might factor into that somewhere as well.

He doesn't actually watch the games. He just replays Big Red Machine games over and over in his head.

Eyre's injury means Dusty will wait until Friday to use him again.

Murton must have amazing vision

No you just hear him blab about gritty players with intangebles, and obsess over players in his era.

No but you do hear him say Ryno, a fellow 2B, shouldn't be in the Hall.

BAREBARE!!!

 

I should be in that booth!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yikes.

[texascub]

Damn, that foul almost gave me a heart attack.

[jjgman21]

barely missed another opportunity for me to say this park sucks.

That probably would have cleared Wrigley's LF wall

Yep, it would've gone onto the concourse behind the Crawford boxes.

but it would have hooked well foul long before reaching the pole anywhere else. I wouldn't have even been nervous anywhere else because nowhere else say "315" down the lf line. sort of the way the only place you are nervous of jerk balls by lefties is Fenway and Pesky's pole

[Andy]

Guz is having an outstanding outing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Everett struck out swinging , 2-3
