That game was AWESOME.

I went CRAZY on that sosa HR.

 

 

Then Alou went deep and I basically lost my voice.

 

I remember that game well. I went crazy and got drunk.

[Vinestal]

Well at least we got Izzy's crappy atbat out of the way in this inning so he's not leading off next inning

[E.J.]

I'd like to start the "Izturis to Bench" BandWGN.

[98navigator]

Barrett swinging at the first pitch after someone walks in front of him. :x

 

doesn't bother me. his OPS on the first pitch over the last 3 years is .934.

 

i like those odds.

 

It bothers the hell out of me. You have to consider the situation. It was a poor AB.

[wastra]

Murton and Jones swapping corners?

 

Also, while Murton is learning RF, it makes sense to put a better defender in the other corner spot so Soriano can move a couple steps over to protect Murton, and that means Jones over Floyd.

 

I know I'm coming in late here, but I just wanted to point out that someone referred to Jones as the "better defender."

 

That's not a ringing endorsement for this roster.

[C.C.]

I'd like to start the "Izturis to Bench" BandWGN.

 

I think that was started when we first got him.

For real isnt that a sign of the Apocolpse or something?

Bynum has got some pop. He hit a few dingers for us last year.

 

I think he had more errors than dingers, but whatever...

Is there any chance Theriot can play some SS when Ramirez gets better? Theriot had an AMAZING weekend.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cruz doubled to right center field

[C.C.]

Uh oh....

[98navigator]

leadoff double

[Chocolate Milk]

There goes the no-hitter.

[Andy]

Well, there goes that, not that he really had a chance.

 

Applause for Marquis so far. Get out of this, please.

[RichHillIsABeast]

We need to kidnap Cruz Jr. and platoon him with Jacque.

- F. Bynum homered to deep right, K. Millar scored

 

:shock:

 

I'm not surprised by that-Bymum had 4 HR, 5 3B, and 5 2B in just 136 AB's last year. Power was the one thing he did pretty well.

[soccer10k]

MARQUIS GOING FOR A NO HITTER TODAY.

 

Well, that does it. He's going to lose it next inning.

 

It's like clockwork.

[killthegoat06]

Theriot platoon??

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the first XBH against the CUBS since the 5th inning on Friday !!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Laforest grounded out to short, 6-3 , Cruz to third

nope. he hits well on the first pitch, regardless of the situation. you have to trust your better hitters at some point, and i trust him on the first pitch. the stats don't lie.

[C.C.]

Give'em the run, they earned it! Just get outta here with 1 run and I'll be happy...
