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

[cheapseats]

The speed in the lineup is really paying off tonight. Good strategy. :twisted:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones homered to center field ,Pagan & Ramirez scored

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

That Jacque shot is deep.

[da bears]

Holy crap taht was killed.

[cheapseats]

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

 

Well, yeah, since he's not on the team.

[Iceblink]

Holy cow, that ball was killed. I'm sure it's been done, but I've never seen a ball hit out to that part of the park...not even in BP when I've been to the games there.

[CuseCubFan69]

Jocko Dundee cracks a good one. I thought for sure Clemens would throw it low and inside. Hit job of taken Clemens deep! Edited August 16, 2006 by CuseCubFan69

[texascub]

FSNSW is saying it was measured at 445ft.

[Mizzou]

Jones just blasted one OVER Tal's hill.

:shock:

That's exactly what I was thinking when it first went out. I don't think I've ever seen a ball hit out at that part of the stadium.

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

 

Well, yeah, since he's not on the team.

 

I was talking about the differences in the leaders of the team. Lee is a baseball/team man and Sosa is a Sosa man. It's nice to see a guy be there even though the team is struggling.

I've never seen one hit out there like that either. But, I'm assuming it has been done.

[UMFan83]

I like Jock 32% more after that HR

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus flied out to center field

[da bears]

It's really nice to see one of the Cubs young pitchers not walking one out of four batters. Keep up the good work, Mateo.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-10 when they hit at least 2 home runs.... 29-59 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Wooo Mateo!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Clemens hit by pitch

[cheapseats]

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

I'd like to see Dusty be a team man and not a Dusty man.

 

Leaving Z in for 121 pitches last night was all about Dusty, not the Cubs.

 

As for Sosa/Lee, I'd take both in their primes.

 

And Mateo just hit Clemens!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Mateo beaned Clemens. :shock:

[CuseCubFan69]

I like Mateo a lot more now.

[Laura]

Clemens at 84 pitches

 

Mateo at 70 after the first out in this inning

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ha ha, you go kid.

[UMFan83]

Mateo is a gangster, so what if he hit the free out with 1 out
