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

[otis89]

That might've been ball 4 if he hadn't swung.

[otis89]

Floyd walked? :shock:

[Omar]

Floyd walks on a 3-2. Hey hey, somebody on base.

[rabidawg900]

Wow Jaque Jones just showed me last inning why he is completely offensively and defensively worthless.

[Derwood]

Floyd walked? :shock:

 

don't worry, barrett has a 4-6-3 all ready for ya

[Omar]

Ks.

[otis89]

Why would you not even swing at that?

[Omar]

Jones up. That's an out. I'm gonna take a fridge break.

[otis89]

Way to swing at a pitch at your ankles, Jacque. Call up Pie, please.

[Derwood]

oh jacque, jacqu, jacque

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Have we gotten a ball out of the infield yet?

[jjgman21]

Larry Rothschild has worked Luis Gonzalez incorrectly since he became the pitching coast of the Cubs. let's hope a lefty starter will make a difference.

 

nope. they sure didn't. he's been hooking that outside pitch for dingers on a consistent basis against us for half a decade now.

 

got lucky there.

 

sorry to beleuguer a point, but by way of illustration

 

2002 - 1.080, 3 games, 1 HR

2003 - .808, 6 games, 2 HR

2004 - .720, 6 games, 1 HR, 1 2B

2005 - 1.653, 7 games, 5 HR, 3 2B

2006 - 1.059, 5 games, 1 HR, 3 2B

 

it's not coincidence. it's the same pitch hit in the same way, time after time.

 

Larry, please stop throwing Gonzalez low and outside.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Have we gotten a ball out of the infield yet?

 

no

[otis89]

Why is it so hard for camera operators to zoom in on the correct outfielder on fly balls?

[Omar]

Flyout to CF Jones. 1 down.

[Omar]

Grounder right to Lilly. 2 down.

[otis89]

Much better inning that time.

[Omar]

Another right back to Lilly, inning over.

[Flames24Rulz]

Good 2nd inning for Lillypad.

[Derwood]

Good 2nd inning for Lillypad.

 

um, no, we shan't be calling him that

[otis89]

Good 2nd inning for Lillypad.

 

um, no, we shan't be calling him that

 

I concur.

[third eye]

Lilly reminds me of a lefty Leiber when he was with the Cubs before his arm injury.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Good 2nd inning for Lillypad.

 

um, no, we shan't be calling him that

 

I concur.

 

sounds too much like "launchpad."

[SouthSideRyan]

Izturis got a hit too quickly before I could deliver my snark.

[Flames24Rulz]

Holy crap, Izzy.
