4/10 Astros (Sampson) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20CT CSN / XM185

[BigSlick]

I never realized how weak Izturis' arm is. He may (I repeat, MAY) have a good glove, but he can barely get the ball to 1st.

 

It wasn't that way pre-TJ surgery.

 

I'm glad we signed him after that.

[Rob]

Wow, I can't believe I got about 10 recaps.

 

Thanks!

[Andy]

Please hit a HR Carlos

I can't really fault Marquis too much for any runs he gives up from now on the rest of this game-this awful ridiculous display by Izturis has to shake any pitcher up.

What was the title of the Maddux trade thread?

 

"Maddux traded for arthritic, injured crap"?

I didn't think it was this bad post TJS. I remember it being much better than this.

I'm....glad...I hate him.

Izzy sucks, but in my mind the real goat so far is the $136M man with the .590 OPS.

Hey look, the Astros are TAKING PITCHES!

[Brian]

Marquis vs. Fat Horse

 

walk, bases loaded 1 out.

[gflore34]

The Pepsi machine could play SS better than Izturis and, probably get on just as often.

 

well here' s the thing about the pepsi machine....he won't swing at bad pitches, but when he gets on base he really clogs them up....so its a wash

 

Think about trying to cover 2b with the Pepsi machine bearing down on you.

Fatty walks

 

bases loaded

 

errors... :x

[bc2k]

Piniella has got to start warming someone in the bullpen.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Why the frack are you walking people when you should be trying to get GBs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

THROW STRIKES

[Magnetic Curses]

i haven't seen a cub take a 3-2 pitch in years.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are on a pace to commit 93 errors this year..... compared to 104 last year and 100 in '05

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

 

Izturis has single handedly destroyed this reduction in errors.

[BigSlick]

We all know Soriano will end up hitting at least decently

 

It'd be nice to have a modicum of offensive production from our SS, as much of a luxury that is.[/b]

Hey look, the Astros are TAKING PITCHES!

 

What a concept. Why didn't we think of that?

man that would hard to throw it over him becuase i dont think he slides all that well....needless to say the pepsi machine is pretty durable too

[bc2k]

Guzman starts warming in the bullpen.
