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

[JonnyRed]

Man I love our D today!

 

Let's get a RUN!

[soccer10k]

Great catch by DeRosa.

[illiniguy]

what a day for Pie, had to make the trip to Chicago, and then a 12 inning (possibly + game) in your debut

 

 

DEROSAAAAA!!

I don't think he minds.

[CDBears1259]

Nice play!!!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Jones walk off time.

I think we need to pull a Memento on Matt Murton and make him forget everything he ever learned from Dusty Baker. This is getting out of hand.

Iowa is calling Matt.

 

Do people realize that Matt is hitting nearly .300 right now? He's above league average.

 

'Tis the game thread, where kneejerk reactions and rollercoaster emotions reign. Best to check reason and logic at the door, apparently.

 

EDIT: Of course, with only 21 ABs coming into today, an 0-5 day will drop that considerably.

The answer is no. They don't realize it.

 

I think it dropped alot today, though. :x

OK. This is pointless. You don't even support your argument with facts. You belong on the ESPN message board.

 

No, I'm just joking. Calm yourself. You want to have a statistical argument here and piss off everyone else in the thread? Go for it man.

 

No, I don't want to piss off everyone in the thread. I'm not trying to. You are trying to by being stupid.

 

no need for that

Yeah, maybe his OBP is around .300.

 

I don't care what he's hitting, it's obvious to anyone watching that he's uncomfortable and swinging at bad pitches.

if it makes you feel better, with the amount of chew in his cheek, he's bound to have some sort of mouth cancer by age 40
