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

[jersey cubs fan]

Is anybody else just ecstatic we aren't getting blown out at this point? When I saw Miller Vs. Maddux I feared the worst.

 

Miller gives up 6 hits and 4 walks and it's tied, you're darn right I'm ecstatic.

 

but, but a 5.40 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP is never acceptable, right GOONY?

 

Correct. It's an unacceptable performance by the pitcher. I'm ecstatic that they were lucky enough to still be in the game.

This guy is all over the place, it's a shame the crap of our order is up.

[Flames24Rulz]

Heh, Blanco also has a higher BA than OBP.

just checking ;)

Ronny has a .071 BA but a .067 OBP. How is that possible?

 

Because a sacrifice but counts as 0-0 in BA but 0-1 in OBP.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Man, they hit him hard, but right at the 3B every time.

[Flames24Rulz]

Meredith was throwing up garbage that inning. Ugh.

[inari]

Dang. That could've easily been a pair of doubles if not for some quick reactions.

The good thing about that fast inning was the stupid celebrity interview lasted about 5 seconds.

You know Goony has his Wade Miller jersey on...I mean, he's "jersey cub fan"...I think that says it all.

Those interview might not be absolutely completely horrible if they were real celebrities that would actually talk about the game. Maybe Bill Murry, Tony Almeida, Vince Vaughn and Mark Cuban would be alright we they aren't promoting something. But I really wish those interviews would go away.

I was kinda pleased with how respectful David Arquette was of Pat and Ron.

 

But it was nice that it was short.

What exactly is Wade Miller's "best"?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Cotts has a really good changeup today.

[killthegoat06]

How was Miller? I saw on gameday he only gave up 3 runs.

I didn't know any of his stuff was his good stuff. And 3 runs in 5 innings to the Padres isnt that great. Their offense isn't exactly mind-boggling.
