[Drew Doughty]

Well, I'll probably watch this until Hill exits.

[Sammy Sofa]

And the crowd goes wild...

[C.C.]

I'll watch Hill and hopefully Dusty will start Murton and Theriot....

[gflore34]

I look at what Lowry' doing and I believe Rich Hill can, at least, be as good. I believe he's got better stuff than Lowry, there's no reason, he can't make an effective 3 or 4 in 2007.

[CubColtPacer]

I'll watch Hill and hopefully Dusty will start Murton and Theriot....

 

Yeah, I'm guessing it will be Murton and Pagan in the corner outfield, and Cedeno and Theriot in the middle infield, with the regulars at the other spots.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Hopefully the Cubs aren't down 10-2 by the time I get to tune in.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, Cedeno. Dear, sweet Cedeno. How many giftwrapped runs will your innocent, childlike generosity donate to the Giants today?

[Brian]

[Iceblink]

Noice, Theriot.

[Brian]

[soccer10k]

Well, I'll probably watch this until Hill exits.

 

That's what I'll be doing as well.

[Iceblink]

Um, that was strike 3. Down the pipe.

[Brian]

Anybody out there want PBP?

[Iceblink]

Thanks for the swing, Hillenbrandenhoffenschlinger.

[Brian]

Nice quick 1-2-3 inning for Hill

[coldsteel]

[BeerHere]

The Riot reminds me of Eckstein

[Brian]

ick, take it back :P

[series65cubsfan]

Anybody out there want PBP?

 

Definately, if you don't mind. Thanks, I'm out of here at 1200 PST, but before that I can't really have gamecast on.
