5/8 Pirates (Snell) @ Cubs (Lilly) 7:05 WCIU/720

[Balsa]

Makin' me nervous....

[Rob]

Uh, what was the point of that tagup and why didn't we get him out? I mean, it sucks that he advanced but he would've scored on anything anyway.

 

It wasn't a bad play considering DLee was backing up. Now he can score on a WP or PB

 

Considering the odds of a WP or a PB compared to the odds of him getting thrown out in the 8th inning as the tying runner already in scoring position, it was a stupid call.

[98navigator]

Whew, we escaped

[A New Era]

Quit over-reacting.

 

Irony.

 

Mine was a sarcastic call, which I came back on a bit. In yours you sound actually offended. Sorry if I offended you somehow. :?

[Chris]

OUT

[TruffleShuffle]

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

ATTA BABY HOWRY!!!!!!

[Derwood]

whew

[Ding Dong Johnson]

WOO HOO! What happened?

[inari]

Has anyone noticed that the crowds at Wrigley are a lot more into the games than they were at this year? Even at this point last year when we weren't in the dumpster? I love it.

[Flames24Rulz]

It's never easy with our bullpen. At least he got out of it.

[Brian]

this should be the last shot for DLee to extend his streaks.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

time for a DLee double

[YearofDaCubs]

Is Howry's velocity down a bit from last year? He was throwing 91-92 today but I think I remember him hitting 94-95 last year.

I disagree. MB has 2 or 3 PB already. He forced DLee to make a perfect unbalanced throw.

All I said was "update?"

[Balsa]

Well at least Doug Davis will get a win....

 

Damn JJ is ridiculous. I mean, wow, where is that power coming from?

Wouldn't surprise me, he's thrown a TON of innings.

[Derwood]

pirate's guys still bitching about the umpiring

[98navigator]

Snell at 93 pitches

[Chocolate Milk]

Man, Snell is hanging in there.

Good point he broke the CUbs record for appearances last year and the Cleveland record for appearances the year before we signed him. Hey, he's pitching good right now but it is something to make a note of.

Here's you.

 

Wow. You're right. He blew the game.

 

Followed by someone else.

 

Yeah, how dare someone get on base 4 times in one game.

 

First apparently he wasn't aggressive enough.

 

Next he was too aggressive.

 

Third time he was left on the bases, the jerk.

 

Fourth time he wasn't standing on first base anticipating the lineout.

 

I was trying to say, geez people. I say ONE thing in passing. And I get "sarcastisized" to high hell.
