4/17 Cubs (Miller) vs. Fathers (Maddux), 1:20 pm CT, WGN

[DiamondMind]

Floyd looked better in that AB than Murton's first pitch pop up

[soccer10k]

Cubs will have Barrett, Pie, Theriot in the 10th.

[Andy]

Howry in

[Butterscup1679666578]

Let's get good Howry back, eh?

[Derwood]

Floyd has hit damn near every ball this year right on the screws..but always right at someone.

 

whereas Murton has popped pitches in his eyes up to 3rd base over and over, and yet the rallying cry is still to bench Floyd

[C.C.]

Extra innings! Don't like the feel of this game...F' IT!

 

I'm calling a PIE HR if we get out of this inning with no runs.

He kills the ball

PIE RIOT

while theriot gets every bloop hit to drop and every grounder finds a hole.

[Soriano12]

Thornwood sucks!!

 

not while Cliff bats

 

YUCK Line out DP

 

Years ago I actually got to meet Cliff Flloyd just after he signed his first contract. He did a card signing at his old high school. Great guy.

You're the third person to call that now.

Bench Jones and let Murton and Floyd play.

Could be looking at the longest game thread of the year now.

 

When we trade for A-Rod in July, we'll have some longer game threads. :wink:

 

no, because the trade will cause the server to melt into a puddle of goo

Definitely getting up there. When the game is over it probably will be.

Not the right arguement. If we were WS contenders than it would make sense. Since we are not then it makes no sense to bench Murton.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why is Eyre not coming back after throwing 3 pitches?

Fixed.

Good start to the inning!

[98navigator]

The Cubs need to win this deal before the bulpen gets totally screwed.

 

They're going to need a long day from Z tomorrow.

[Outshined_One]

By the way, was that a H&R on the Floyd lineout DP?

 

If so, someone needs to sit down and have a chat with Lou about the problems with that kind of call in pretty much any situation.

I'm calling a PIE walkoff in the 14th.

[Derwood]

one away. very impressed with the pen today

[DiamondMind]

The more I see the roster of the Cubs, I want Floyd in LF, Soriano in CF, and Pie in RF with Theriot starting at 2B. Sorry, Murton. And see ya, Jacque.

[RichHillIsABeast]

looked like ARam was going to trip on the base catching the popup. phew!
