Floyd struck out swinging

[Flames24Rulz]

Floyd looking outclassed again. Let's hope this AB ends like it did in the 1st.

 

Nope. Sigh.

[Brian]

ball 4 clifford

[Ding Dong Johnson]

hey cliff, a dude named meredith just struck you out

[jjgman21]

anyone else remember when Cliff Floyd walked. he wore different uniforms in those days.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Barrett grounded into a FC, 3-6, Ramirez out at second, Lee to third

[Garwilly]

OOps

[Brian]

let's watch Jacque swing like a girl!

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good hustle, Barrett.

[Rob]

A fastball in the dirt, and Jacque didn't swing at it?

[Garwilly]

Jesus Christ Jones, nice first swing there.

[jjgman21]

and obviously Floyd and Jacque didn't chat after Floyd's ab as Jacque swings at the exact same pitch that Floyd did three times.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is it just me or does Jacque swing in the same place every time regardless of where the ball is?

[Brian]

that ball was about 7 feet outside, how did he even get a piece of it

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hate this team

[Flames24Rulz]

Another damn wasted opportunity.

[Allroy]

I love men left on base.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Meredith is evil.

 

We've had our chances tonight.

Well, the good news is that Izturis leads off in the 9th (I never thought I'd type that.) It seems like he has been the guy who gets on base to start some of the real rallies in the past. The bad news is that he's already been on base a couple times tonight...so the law of averages is against him getting on again.

[Brian]

Babe Cameron up

[InconspicuousZ28]

Only the Cobs can outhit their opponent and still lose by 4.

[Allroy]

Brew Crew is going to rally and win.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cameron grounded out to short, 6-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gonzalez called out on strikes
