08/29 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Pittsburgh (Maholm) 6:05 CDT, WGN TV

[Jim Ignatowski]

I hate watching implosions.

[illiniguy]

Maybe one of those idiots that are supposed to be coaches should go talk to Z.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Theriot is a midget.

 

That's right. It's The Riot's fault.

Yep, that's exactly what I said.

its not, but thats what Dustbag would say

[illiniguy]

where was that pitch?

[CubColtPacer]

wtf was Bynum doing there???

he just watched the throw go past him!!!

 

I hope you're joking there..considering Bynum was on the other side of second on that play.

[RichHillIsABeast]

its his job to back 2nd up on that play, and by the time he was over there, he almost could have had that, at least it looked like that, but he just lolli-gaged it and wathed the ball go into CF

I didn't see him over that far. I'm just not sure how a guy playing 2B is supposed to be able to cut off an errant throw by the pitcher that is several feet wide on the shortstop side of second..that is a long way to go in a very short amount of time.

[Brian]

I love when Z realizes his own awesomeness and just reaches back and destorys the hitter. and then shows his jubilation by jumping off the mound and pumping his fist.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to second, 4-3

[RichHillIsABeast]

wow, theriot sure did look short standing next to the ump. the ump was still taller when he was crouched down. :shock:

[illiniguy]

wow, theriot sure did look short standing next to the ump. the ump was still taller when he was crouched down. :shock:

Oh yeah, I am sure it was his fault.

Um, what are you talking about? lol

Yep, that's exactly what I said.

its not, but thats what Dusty would say

 

Well if that's not what he meant, it's weird timing to notice that. Just after Z's throw. Why not notice it just now when he is batting?

[PrimeTime]

Theriot is 5 foot 11
