5/25 Cubs (Lilly) @ Dodgers (Lowe) 9:40CT WGN

[Omar]

Izturis in to save us.

[Derwood]

izturis can tie it with one swing.....who am i kidding?

[RichHillIsABeast]

Barrett got a hell of a jump. jones, you suck.

[Omar]

Izturis grounds to 2B. Lilly up.

 

Meh. Inning over.

[Derwood]

Kouzmanoff fresh off the ultimate slumpbuster, the chicago cubs, hits a grand slam off dave bush

 

Off topic, but am I the only serious Cubs fan who hadn't heard of mark Grace's "slump buster" until just recently?

 

IF YOU HIT LIKE PIERRE

OR EVEN NEIFI

WHO YOU GONNA CALL?

SLUMP-BUSTERS!

 

If Neifi ever used Grace's method, I wouldn't be all that shocked. in case there are others on this thread besides me who weren't aware of this - in a radio interview a while ago Grace said that whenever he was in a slump, he would go out to a bar and go home with the biggest girl he could find at at that bar. Didnt matter if there was someone hotter there. To bust the slump, it had to be the biggest. i thought that was funny, but not shocking given Grace's personality.

 

we're all awarey of grace's nefarious sexual shenanigans

[Flames24Rulz]

Stupid National League.

[Omar]

Lilly Ks. Inning over.

[RichHillIsABeast]

brutal

[Ding Dong Johnson]

do we ever have 2 people on with someone who can hit at the plate?

[Omar]

Furcal grounds to 3B. 1 down.

[witty alias]

Maybe it's just me and my old fashioned ways, but if I were Lilly and I knew that I couldn't hit at all, I wouldn't swing at the first three pitches I saw. None of which were strikes, by the way. Edited May 26, 2007 by witty alias

That is a smart approach. Too bad we're talking about the Cubs.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good lord, Aramis is 100x better defensively than when we nabbed him from the 'rats.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I really miss seeing Juan Pierre in Cubbie blue -- he was the big catalyst behind this years #3 pick in the draft

[Omar]

Pierre w/ a bloop single.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Pierre. 4-3 or bloop hit 50% of the time. what a joke of a ballplayer.

[Omar]

Furcal, Pierre, Nomar... That was one of our dream 1-2-3's in 2005.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Furcal, Pierre, Nomar... That was one of our dream 1-2-3's in 2005.

 

who do you mean?

[Omar]

Nomar walks. And another one.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Stand them, Lilly.

[Omar]

GAME. SEE YA.

[third eye]

Well, game over. Time to hit the bars. How many times has that been said recently... :x

[Flames24Rulz]

Lilly was garbage tonight. That and the offense continues to suck.

[anabiono]

blah

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz in the 5th inning. You're a couple 120 pitch outings from a starter from being on Dusty's level, Lou.
