Eyre pitching..we lose.

[Banedon]

I should have been in bed 45 min ago.

[Chris]

no worries, we'll win it this inning

[Brian]

how crappy will eyre be here?

[sethuel1]

don't suck, eyre

[CubmanPi]

Marquis K's. Survive the top of the 12th and Sori leads off the bottom of the inning.

Hopefully they can survive the 13th, 14th, and 15th too. I have a feeling this team will need it.

Eyre pitching..we lose.

[98navigator]

Eyre be good tonight. PLEASE

[Sarcastic]

If we can just get through this half inning you've gotta like our chances. That's a big if though.

 

That's true for pretty much every extra inning for the home team.

[Soul]

cmon jason....do it

 

LOL, you know it's bad when you're actually on the edge of your seat, hoping for that big game-winning hit from a pinch-hitting pitcher.

[rynefan]

Hey, look at that! His ERA is under 12 ... forget all the bad stuff I said.

[BCVM22]

Well, if Eyre can get through the inning, Soriano, Theriot and Lee to bat next.

 

I just don't know anymore.

[Chris]

Don't err, Eyre

[Derwood]

how crappy will eyre be here?

 

how many rain drops are in the ocean?

[CubmanPi]

how crappy will eyre be here?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this will NOT be his worst outing we've seen from him this season.

[Chocolate Milk]

Is this the game where Lou's desire to burn the bench as fast as is humanly possible comes back to bite us in the arse?

[RyneSandberg]

Anyone else agree that Lou's managing tonight was Baker-esque?

[CubColtPacer]

Kind of wish we hadn't used Pie for half an inning in the outfield.

 

well we had to replace him in order to have better, um, defense. Or something.

 

No, we replaced him to get an insurance run with Murton, who only needed a fly ball with 2 runners in scoring position, a left-hander on the mound, and nobody out-the team didn't score that run, and then Dempster gave up the 1 run lead.

[AFCubsFan]

Eyre's on the mound....I need a beer for this.

[98navigator]

i know I say this every year, but who are these morons that don't understand the rally cap rules?

 

LOL, they were old

[Chris]

Need something else to eat

[CubmanPi]

Anyone else agree that Lou's managing tonight was Baker-esque?

It might have been Baker's level of stupidity, especially considering that he burned through the entire bench without finding a way to pull Izturis, but I think Lou's brand of stupidity is notably different.

That's true for pretty much every extra inning for the home team.

 

Not if the bottom of the inning entailed a trio of Blanco-Neifi-Hairston

[Brian]

Need something else to eat

 

i think eyre's thinking the same thing
