[minnesotacubsfan]

Blanco grounded an IF single to shortstop

 

dudes got wheels.

 

 

according to len and bob, dusty wanted as much speed in the lineup tonite as possible because rogah doesnt give up taters......

[Guancous]

It will help the 2007 Cubs immensely if Ronny is the better offensive middle infielder next year. Yeah, I set the bar high.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit at least 1 home run in 10 consecutive games.... a season high.

 

Go CUBS !!

Well if that's all it takes, maybe I'll see if I can try out next year.

[CuseCubFan69]

I like to see Pierre and Izturis go with the pitch. I just don't understand guys that swing at everything with no power not being able to hit an outside pitch the other way.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol sacrificed, 1-4, Blanco to second

 

Again?

 

Seems I've got my rookie pitchers confused, no?

Pierre has been going to left quite a bit, especially over tha last 2 months. Izturis, I don't know about.

That's good to hear. I just saw both of them yank an outside pitch to second and bug the heck out of me.

Everett popped out (foul) to third base

I've seen Izturis line serveral balls down the left field line in his Cubs career-of course though, we haven't seen enough of him to know anything much about his tendencies.

[Laura]

through 2 innings per sportsline:

 

Clemens 28 pitches

 

Mateo 36 pitches

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan grounded out to first, 3-1

[minnesotacubsfan]

i HATE slides into 1st base

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ok, Brenly, we get it.

 

Roger Clemens is old, Juan Mateo is young.
