[Brian]

bring back wavin' wendall

[Andy]

Onto the 11th - more Howry I assume

[jersey cubs fan]

Thanks for the random timeout call Quade.

 

Did he want to make sure Theriot got the take sign?

[FergieJ31]

Heath Bell & Mike Quade now starring in Brokeback Mountain II

[Shilzzz]

ummm, what happened? i'm stuck in a cubicle.

Really? How often does a inferior team win the WS. Last one I can think of before last year was 88 Dodgers and than 85 Royals.

 

So, basically, if we aren't the runaway best team we should just wrap it up and play kids?

 

Playing Murton is not wrapping it up. He's as good as Floyd and Jones, at least, and should get better. None of the Cubs OF is an ideal OF, they need all of them to produce if they hope to succeed.

 

I would say if we are CLEARLY not a top ten team then I would say there is no reason to play a past prime player over a player who is major league ready.

[Moonlight Graham]

WTF was that?

Did The Riot miss the 3-1 take sign so Quade had to call time out?

[adamb0719]

ummm, what happened? i'm stuck in a cubicle.

 

I am wondering the same thing. Stuck in a library.

[Omar]

Quade is really turning into a modern day Wendell Kim.

[C.C.]

Classic Cubs. Let's hold for another inning guys...Hopefully we can win this thing. It would suck to lose this game.

[TruffleShuffle]

6-35 with no strikeouts... that's a horrendous babip

Did you think the Cardinals were a top ten team in your head, say, August 1st of 06?

Riot walked but the 3rd base ump apparently called time before the pitch was thrown or something, so it doesn't count.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Don't suck Howry.

[98navigator]

Come on Bob

[DiamondMind]

Lets go Howry. Get through this and bring up the heart of the order.

[TruffleShuffle]

Just like the miraculous comeback by the Astros in '05, the Cubs should not make their decisions based on how they compare to what the Cardinals were like last year.

[Banedon]

lol...Yahoo now tells me it's 1-0 Cubs after one inning.

 

But it still has all the pbp and box score...

 

Also Heath Bell pitching and R. Bowen hitting.
