09/17 Cincinnati (Milton) @ CUBS (Big Z) 1:20 CT, WGN TV

[Sammy Sofa]

So the home runs today have come from Jacque against a lefty, the starting pitcher, craptacular Cedeno and Theriot, who, let's face it, is pretty anti-power. Murton's is the only one that really makes any kind of sense.

*Echo...echo...echo*

 

Z at 77 pitches after 5 with no runs allowed, 3 hits, 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. I say give him one more inning and then get him out...definitely nothing above 90 pitches.

[ToupeeOnFire]

How many NFL teams do the Cubs outscore today?

 

So far 2, looking like 4.

 

Keep pouring it on.

[sweetpeteman]

THE RIOT!!!!! HOLY COW!

[littleburr24]

Theriot!!!... AGAIN!?

Babe Riot! Edited September 17, 2006 by ToupeeOnFire

[Sammy Sofa]

The Riot with TWO home runs in one game?!?

 

Jesus, who are these people and where are my Cubs?

 

Cubs are apparently finally realizing how hideous their HR numbers are, especially at home.

[cjbucks]

THE RIOT!!!!! HOLY COW!

 

Get Bynum in there - this guy is stinking up the joint!!

[Balsa]

Obviously the Cubs want to make up the home run record at home so they're not so far behind for the year.

[Balsa]

Is that.....Dutchvalue?

[cjbucks]

How long does Dusty ride Z with an 11 run lead 110-120 pitches??

[Balsa]

So uh....Can we get Zambrano out before he self-destructs?

[Balsa]

Pull Zambrano now please.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dusty and Rothschild are the biggest tools in baseball.

 

Yeah, Zambrano is looking good...but it's the 7th inning in a 11-0 blowout and your starting pitcher just missed 2 weeks bith back troubles! Christ, how dumb are these guys? Did they learn nothing from 2003? I know it's a broken record, but they never cease to amaze/infuriate. The bullpen is rested, this is a perfect time to bring in guys like Novoa, Marmol and Dempster and give them some playing time when their potential implosions won't cost the game.

 

In the words of the immortal G.O.B., "COME ON!!!"

KKKKKK

[abuck1220]

109 pitches for your franchise pitcher the first start back after a back injury in an 11-0 game when you're 30 games under .500.

 

makes sense.

[Balsa]

Z BETTER NOT bat this inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

If Zambrano hits I'm gonna plotz.

[Balsa]

Everyone has a hit now!!

[Balsa]

THANK GOD, I don't think I've ever been so happy to see Buck Coats.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, thank the dear Lord. ABOUT AN INNING TOO LATE, JERK-STORES!

[Sammy Sofa]

Dempster better get some time in the 9th.

[Brian]

Was that Kyle Orton in the crowd with the beard :lol:

[Balsa]

LOL Milton's line is awful.

 

0.1 IP, 6H, 6R, 2 HR

[Balsa]

Murton cloggin' the bases!
