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

[rocket]

a walk? good heavens get aggresive boys. we need runs not baserunners

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Jones gets a hit here so announcers everywhere can say "how many times have we seen a guy make a play in the field then do something the next time up at the plate"

[texascub]

Good start to the inning...could this be our first close win?

[Shavo]

Can anyone else not hate Howry cause he's so cool looking?

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm trying to decide whether i want the cubs to score now and have dempster blow the save, or whether i want the brewers to score in like the 10th or 11th and then have the cubs' offense blow a 2nd and 3rd, 1 out situation

[Chris]

LET'S GO COBS

Come on, Eyre's a nice guy.

 

a 15 era is not nice.

Nope, Brewers will tack on 5 more next inning.

jones saves howry's ass.

 

i'm thinking it may be time to stop trusting these two in close games.

Nice doesn't win ballgames.

[texascub]

Why can we not get a bunt down?

[Mark_R]

great, now all we need is a hit from DeRosa or Blanco!

[Chris]

Jones got the job done, but you have to know that bunting the ball with the bat in that position is a terrible idea

[E.J.]

Geez. Lucky with the bunt once again.

[TruffleShuffle]

Why can we not get a bunt down?

 

because we're asking guys like Soriano and Jones to bunt

[DurbanJer]

Why can we not get a bunt down?

 

why are we bunting to get to DeRosa (or more importantly) Blanco?

[texascub]

Wow that was close to being a DP.

One of my friends regaled me with a story of badmouthing Dempster and this girl coming up to him and slapping him saying: "He's going out with (or married I dont quite remember) my cousin, he's a nice guy!"

[DurbanJer]

Villanueva - remember Hector? He was the BOMB!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Because Blanco can quickly turn into Barrett.

Remlinger is just a whiter, leftier version of Hawkins. They are often mistaken for one another when discussing overpaid pitching mistakes.

[Chris]

Hit the ball, bro

[inari]

It'll be Blanco.

[texascub]

A WP would be very helpful here.

cubby swagger? what the hell are they talking about.
