[Jim Ignatowski]

KC falls to a 1-0 lead in Fecal play tonight. However, they are closing in on setting a major league record for most losses after having a four run lead.

[Mizzou]

I hope we get swept.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Lots of fans disguised as empty seats in the left field bleachers. They had to find someone to throw that Bay HR ball back.

[UMFan83]

Haha where are all the fans? This is awesome

[Sammy Sofa]

Empty seats, low ratings...in a perfect world, the Tribune either cleans house and gets management that'll try and get something done or they opt to sell the team.

 

My bet is we get the same ol'-same ol' with a much lower payroll.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, Theriot just tripled, sorta making up for the horrific bunt pop-out he had in the 1st.

[Soul]

Dear Jim Hendry:

 

This is what it looks like with a lame duck manager who should have been fired months ago, a terrible baseball team, and all the interest in town directed at the other ballclub.

 

Are you happy now???

[CubColtPacer]

One positive we have-it appears that Lee has fully recovered from his injury-it's nice to see him playing well again.

[macuser2]

Incase anyone cares, cubs are down 2-0 after the top of the first, 2 run homer by Bay.

 

Even Extra Innings decided to ignore this game, even though others have gotten rained out. So I am following on XM.

 

However, up in Boston it's 1-0 Red Sox in the top of the 8th. It's also starting to rain there.

 

What's the over/under on pages for this thread? I'll take the under.

Wow, just flipped on the game for a moment and there's no one out in the bleachers. No wonder they've been hawking tickets on the broadcasts.

 

Can't imagine why with this clash of titans.

[Soul]

Yes, that is good to see.

[Sammy Sofa]

Lee's 2 for 2 with an RBI and a stolen base, which is nice.

 

It's like 2 Mateo's out there tonight...I'd prefer the one with 7 k's and no walks so far tonight over the one with 5 ER's, please.

[Laura]

Lee's had two singles up the middle, which is certainly good to see, but I don't know that it's quite enough to declare him fully recovered.

[macuser2]

Oh my! Two men on thanks to Ronny. :shock:

[Sammy Sofa]

Scott Moore's Gameday pic is high-larious.

[macuser2]

Oh noooo! Bases loaded, Juan Pierre comes up to bat.

 

New flash: Red Sox beat White Sox 1-0.

[macuser2]

Juan Pierre drives in 2, tying run on base. There goes last place.

[illiniguy]

Don't you sell this team short.

[Sammy Sofa]

Juan Pierre gets a hit with RISP?

 

Did I fall into a wormhole?

[Sammy Sofa]

The Riot wants another HR so damn bad.

[Soriano12]

come on...get kicked out Dusty

[UMFan83]

Whose gonna play 3rd now?

[Brian]

a little quick with the trigger ump? Well Scott Moore will get some PT at 3rd at least.

[UMFan83]

Didn't he PH already?

 

Or was that this inning?

[CubColtPacer]

What happened? Why was Ramirez thrown out?
