5/9 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 7:05pm CSN/720

[Derwood]

I'm pretty sure Jacque makes his mind up before the pitch whether he's going to swing or not.

 

sounds like me playing MVP '05

[CubmanPi]

So how is this Jacque AB going to go:

 

A) strikeout

B) weak flyout

C) tries to pull an outside pitch and grounds out 4-3

 

i pick c

We have a winner!

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I love how's he trying to yank a home run on a pitch on the outside corner below his knees. Great approach.

YESSSSSSSSSS - what do I win?

[rickrolled]

I don't think Jacque Jones should be a starter for any major league baseball team.

Jacque Jones's red bat.

To answer a question earlier-Murton's BABIP this year is almost exactly league average:

I really don't think he has a clue where the ball is or where it's going. After going 1-0, he should have just kept the bat on his shoulder and prayed for a walk.

[Omar]

Flyout to Jones. 1 down.

He's not unlucky. He's just reverted to first half 2006 Murton. Infield hits galore.

[Post Count Padder]

Damn it. My roommate put duct tape over the TV controls and changed it to the Yankee game so now the ramote won't work and I have to get up to fix it.

 

Darn Yankee fans roommates.

[Omar]

Lineout to Ramirez. 2 down.

i'm pretty sure that's grounds for justifiable homicide in Pennsylvania

[98navigator]

wow, the Cubs are playing some D

 

hmmmm, this could get interesting...

[Soul]

Figures. No sooner did I say we should keep Jones because he's looking better at the plate, he starts hitting like a high schooler with his girlfriend in the stands.

Never fear, Len already is out to jinx him.

Yeah, pretty much. I can't stand em. I have a friend who's a Pirates fan from the Pittsburgh area and he says he can't stand them. I guess they're universally hated.

good thing Jinxy McMod isn't here tonight

[Sammy Sofa]

Marquis is having a very, very, very, very, VERY good game so far.

Well the Cubs radio booth has said the dirty p-word a few times already as well, so we're not getting any help there either.

 

However, we all know that the mundane things we do as fans are what have the biggest impact on the game, so if we stay strong everything will be okay.
