What're you looking at? That ball sat there on a tee for you.

[YearofDaCubs]

There is absolutely no reason why Izturis should ever start, ever. Theriot is clearly a better player.

Tell that to Lou and Hendry but I doubt they will listen.

Sad to think the score would be 11-5 if Manuel hadn't stupidly used an RHP vs. Jacque with 2 men on base.

[Soul]

Ouch.

[C.C.]

Fake rally time.

 

I love the fake rally...

 

That was in the 7th. The rules state that the Cubs are only entitled to one fake rally per game, and only on days when they feel like it.

 

Actually that was a real rally in the 7th...

 

I think it should be ruled a fake rally since the team gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the inning. It was just there to get our hopes up.

 

No the rally was real. The "give back" is a different catagory. There's the "Fake Rally" and "The give back".

I think the tying run has to come to the plate for this to be considered a fake rally.

[Yeti]

ticker says 1 out announcer says 2???

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I like to think that hundreds of years from now, Derrek Lee will be considered an 8 foot tall robot that hit singles every at bat, like John Henry.

He just corrected himself. There's one down.

That works for me. I was unaware of the "give back" rule. Thanks for expanding my Cubs vocabulary.

I could hit an 86 mph straight change down the middle, I know I could.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Yay. Glad the Cobs are back to form.

[Bruno7481]

this closer thing just might suit Myers well...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I could foul it off, I make no promises beyond that.

[Soriano12]

Alas, Jones & Ward will save us.

[Soul]

Wow, this is one of those games. Just incredibly bad. Giving back all 6 damn runs. All 6!

[AFCubsFan]

4-3 groundout? you think?

[Bruno7481]

I could hit an 86 mph straight change down the middle, I know I could.

 

Right after a 96mph fastball?

[C.C.]

In the same inning all with 2 outs! Only the cubs.

I never said that ;)

The Cubs should make Howry ride Amtrak to New York, as punishment.

[seanimal]

:evil:

[YearofDaCubs]

It's official, we suck.

[Butterscup1679666578]

The Cubs should make Howry ride horse-drawn carriage to New York, as punishment.

 

Fixed for me.
