This ballpark SUCKS.

 

That was entertaining, though...

 

nice backwards somersault by O'Malley!

Everett lined out to right field

Pagan spikes the throw back into the infield, in memoriam of Jacque Jones.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Does anyone know who was removed from the 40-man roster to make room for O'Malley today?

The assumption is that Wood was moved to the 60-day DL.

 

No one was removed, the roster was at 39.

They were at 39.

 

Ok, thank you. I remember there were 39, but I thought that Mateo was #40 when he got called up.

Eyre went on the 15 day DL

[Butterscup1679666578]

So I just started watching, how's O'Malley looked so far?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ausmus flied out to right center field

Eyre's still on the 40-man when he's on the 15-day DL.

yeah, that's right. That was the announcement they made on the pregame, but I guess it didn't sink in.

[da bears]

Nicely done by O'Malley.

You're a gentleman and a scholar, and I thank you !! :wink:

[cheapseats]

The more I listen to Santo, the more I realize that he would be just like Hendry if he were a GM and just like Baker if he were a manager.

[Garwilly]

Over the last 16 innings, the Cubs lead 3-0.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez grounded out to third, 5-3

[da bears]

Each time Neifi bats, I get angrier and angrier.

There was actually an article in Baseball Prospectus today that questioned the Astros plate discipline.

 

It's really weird to see the Cubs leading in that department, even for one game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

O'Malley popped out to second base

[da bears]

Cubs look terrible at the plate today.

The Astros have looked eerily like the Cubs in that department. Murton had by far the best plate appearances last night. No surprise there.
