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

[cheapseats]

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

Izturis makes outs to all fields. :twisted:

Berkman walked

Four innings for Mateo..... and no walks !! I like it !!

 

I should know better !!

 

Do you want to say he has a shut out going now too? :D

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott flied out to left center field , Lamb to third, Berkman holding first

[texascub]

Wow, if we aren't in Mickey Mouse Park, I think that's one's out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Huff doubled to right center field , Lamb & Berkman scored, Huff out at third,

[Andy]

Well I'd say Mateo looked shaky those last couple of batters.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nice job by Pierre on that play.

What is Brenly talking about? Mabry is being communicated with by Barrett who is telling him to cut or not "Mabry has no idea what's behind him when he made the cut". Also, that throw to second by pagan could have let the guy that tagged from second to third to score by throwing behind the runner. I disagree that it was the right move.

I don't think Mike Lamb has the wheels to score from second on that play.

Pierre grounded out to short, 6-3

But if the throw gets away from second it's going the wrong way and Lamb could score. I disagree with that logic.

Pagan walked

[CuseCubFan69]

It's nice to see Lee in the dugout. I'd bet anything if that was Sosa he'd be anywhere but the dugout.

[Andy]

Pagan walked

I like that he's been doing a lot more of that lately.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I hate the hit and run. He had that base stolen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez singled to right center field , Pagan to third

Brad Ausmus is no gimme.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Jock crushed that one.

[Butterscup1679666578]

WOW that was a bomb.
