4/23 Cubs (Zambrano) vs Beermakers (Vargas) 7:05 WCIU

[RegulusBlue]

An Izturis BB is unexpected, but welcome.

[E.J.]

Izzy with a walk. Good start.

[killthegoat06]

Holy crap. Izturis got on base. :shock:

[muntjack]

What just happened??? Is the moon turning red? Anyone?

[VanceJergins]

Wait....Izturis didn't make ANY outs that AB? I'm excited when he only makes 1!!

[DurbanJer]

We may to agree to disagree. My point is more that the upgrade in offense is more than offset by any loss of defense (which I would argue is minimal).

 

Izturis is above-average defensively.... Theriot would be merely adequate.

 

Adequate Defense + Above Average Off > Above Average Def + Below Average Off

 

feel free to use this against me when it comes to Pie

Pie changed his # to 20?!?!? AHHH JINX! AHHHH!

[texascub]

Philly beats Houston 11-4. Philly with 20 hits. :shock:

 

My 3 team parlay was Cubs, A's, and Astros. A's held on to win, and if the Cubs hold on, I'm going to be pissed the Astros couldn't beat Adam Eaton to net me $117.

 

Which website do you use to place your bets?

 

My friend placed this bet for me. He uses sports.com. When I do it myself, which I can't do until I open a checking account down here this summer (stupid new US rules making it hard as hell for me), I usually use bodog.com, but I'm trying to find other sites to see if anyone is better in terms of bonuses and stuff.

 

How exactly do you get around the new laws? I've been trying to play poker online and no place will accept my deposits.

I use that same equation in the Jones versus Pie debate

[TruffleShuffle]

lol that fielding was so cubbish

[Balsa]

Oh my lord, I can't believe that.

I think we know what we're (not) going to get with Izturis. And, like Murton, we have potential for more from Pie.

[E.J.]

Pie needs to work on his sac bunts. That was terrible. Worked out well though. :D

[texascub]

Pie got lucky as heck right there, Estrada is hurt.

[Mark_R]

Great bunt Felix!

[Soriano12]

What teamwork b/t Fielder and Estrada!

[Flames24Rulz]

Pie changed his # to 20?!?!? AHHH JINX! AHHHH!

 

He's been #20 on every other level. I was actually surprised that he came to the big leagues with #17.

 

And look at that, Felix with a single.

[TruffleShuffle]

Pie is batting 1.000 in this game! Start him tomorrow!

[killthegoat06]

What teamwork b/t Fielder and Estrada!

 

For us with no TV, what happened?

[texascub]

Estrada hyper-extended his left knee, he'll be out for a few days.

[BCVM22]

I hope only that if a man that large ever slides into my knee, the leg can be saved.

[bcruise]

Sounds like it was ugly for Estrada...Pat's saying he's really hurt.

[CubColtPacer]

That's the second hit in 2 days for Pie that was pure luck-somebody is going to see these hits and think that he is actually hitting well :D

[E.J.]

He had no chance with Fielder sliding into him.

For some reason I think Poker is a lot harder than just straight gambling. What are you trying to deposit with?
