Castillo doubled to right center field

Dusty, your goal for this season should be to stay above .400.

[halplm]

wait... Z pinch hit?

 

um... what's the logic in that? Guess we have to save the rest of the bench for double switches later...

 

I guess you can't really score with two outs anyway... might as well go to the next inning... :roll:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Santos sacrificed, safe at first on a FC, 2-5, Castillo to third

[oldstyle81]

seeing Friday is the 1st of Sept, its time to put the cubs shirts away and bring out the bears

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duffy flied out to left field , Castillo scored after the catch

Sanchez walked , Santos to second

He's a better hit than most of those guys anyways.

 

Seriously, there's nothing wrong with Zambrano pinch hitting. Frankly, I wish Dusty would've done it more often.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-23 when the opponent hits a sacrifice fly.... 46-54 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[coldsteel]

Never mind. :oops:

Pierre flied out to left field

[YearofDaCubs]

I'm sorry but with a 95mil payroll you really have to TRY to be this bad.

The way the Bears camp has unfolded, by Oct 1 it may be time to put on the Bulls shirts

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot popped out (foul) to first base

I disagree. If the game was basically over, then Z can hit all he wants... but in a one run game, no, I'm sorry, you put a guy in there that is supposed to be one of your bats. Z is a great hitting pitcher... but I don't care what the situation is, he's not your first hitter off the bench in a 1 run game.
