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

[Brian]

picture perfect

[Outshined_One]

Nearly was a disaster at 3rd, but still, WOW!

[DiamondMind]

How about:

 

C - Barrett

1B - Lee

2B - Soriano

SS - A-Rod

3B - Rammy

LF - Floyd

CF - Pie

RF - Murton

 

No way I take Theriot out of the lineup for Murton at this point. Or in July.

Wow, what a freaking amazing throw. Best I've seen since the 3-day 2004 stretch where CPatt nailed people like crazy.

[Moonlight Graham]

Now lets get out of this and really make that matter.

[E.J.]

Come on Howry.

[TruffleShuffle]

despite barrett's best efforts, the game is still tied

[Derwood]

you mean it's actually possible to throw from the OF to the catcher on less than 5 bounces? I never knew!

[JonnyRed]

Pat just called it the best throw by a cub in 3 years!

 

Now, let's get out of this Howry!

[DiamondMind]

You know that was a really, really good throw.

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

 

Better bench Murton forever, then!

 

Stop being dramatic. I'm just saying, through what I've seen of the season, Floyd's been a better player. And we NEED to win right now, not play Murton for the heck of it. You disagree with either of those statements?

 

There don't seem to be many people who think we can win this year. Everyone is like "Floyd is old, what happens then?" Right now, Floyd is producing, Murton isn't. In this weak division, anyone can win, and as last year showed, all you need to do is make the playoffs and then ANYTHING can happen.

You don't play Murton for the heck of it, you play him because he's shown he can be a reliable producer and one of the few OBP threats on the team.

[Chris]

I loves me some Pie

[98navigator]

yes, wow

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Derrek Lee is tall

[Chocolate Milk]

Wow, Pie saves the game.

Thank you!

[Flames24Rulz]

Nonchalant throw by ARam. Whew.

 

WIN IT, FELIX!

[otis89]

Thank you, Pie! You thwarted the Cubs best attempts to blow this!

[E.J.]

Geez. Way to make it interesting Aram. Come on offense!!!

[JonnyRed]

Let's go get a WWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[Outshined_One]

That inning nearly put Lou in an early grave.

[OleMissCub]

I think my heart just stopped.

 

Someone come operate the defib on me

[JoshiQ]

What the heck was that, ARam?

[Derwood]

Ramirez a little too confident on that one
