Taveras bunts a drag foul...Hendry goes on phone with Astro's GM about possible trade.

Nice job to K Taveras. Edited August 16, 2006 by da bears

Now Mateo is getting Clemens calls!

 

Thats what you get when you do something half the White Sox could never do - retaliate.

Nah, he's too busy trying to work out a deal with Preston Wilson.

Vizcaino was released by the Giants yesterday. Hendry's working on bringing him in. You can't have enough glove at the middle infield position.

[oldcubsfan]

That was inning was great. Jones sticking to CLemens and Mateo hitting him!! Love both!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno popped out to second base

[Andy]

Mateo pinch hit for here with The Riot evidently.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco grounded out to short, 6-3

[oldcubsfan]

Pagan was a good pick up by Hendry.

[UMFan83]

OK Mateo drops to #74 just ahead of Kyle Orton in Chicago athletes after not coming up to bat after hitting Clemens.

[CuseCubFan69]

Baker really hates Theriot doesn't he?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot, pinch hitting for Mateo, hit by pitch (Clemens warned) Edited August 16, 2006 by Fred Hornkohl

[Andy]

Completely unsurprisingly, Theriot is HBP'ed and warnings are issued.

[da bears]

I wish that was Barrett and he ran out there and beat the old man.

[minnesotacubsfan]

TOSS HIM

[Chris]

Riot should beat the crap out of Clemens

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I knew Theriot was the one to get hit. Dusty knew that was going to happen. Sure he wouldn't send Neifi out there. :D
