6/3 Braves (Cormier) vs. COBS (Marshall), 1:20, WGN-TV/Radio

[illiniguy]

Jim watches BBTN and actually listens to Kruk. :lol:

Ha, that is great. Well Kruker told me that Eyre will get it turned around.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

YES, Pie here to stay

[Soriano12]

Well Jim...Jones has struggled vs. Lefties his whole career...so that isn't relevant to the discussion.

[rickrolled]

I still can't believe Hendry said there are alot of good arms in the pen.

 

 

Sheesh.. :twisted:

 

I don't think it's a big deal, he's not going to come out and say "Our bullpen really blows." He's going to say optimistic things, obviously.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

YES, Pie here to stay

 

Hopefully, that means that Jones is on the way out.

[98navigator]

Kelly Johnson has hit Marshall well. I'm surprised he sat against Hill (not that it hurt them).

Actually, I'd rather hear..."Our BP has been dissapointing and we will look to make adjustments to improve that aspect"

On the other side of town, both Kenny Williams and Ozzie are saying their pen stinks.

well, I'm sure he knows the BP has sucked this year

[Butterscup1679666578]

DLEE GREAT PLAY!

[Careless]

I wonder how much time escobar cost himself with that slide. Stupid and poorly executed

[Laura]

gotta love DLee.

[mspcanes1]

you could easily argue that dlee is the best player in baseball. as soon as his power numbers come around he won't be fair to pitch against. he just doesn't do anything wrong out there

[Garwilly]

Derrek Lee is good at playing baseball.

 

 

 

Marshall, remnicant of 2006.

[rickrolled]

nice play Lee, where was Marshall?

[RichHillIsABeast]

GG Lee at it again.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

I noticed how Jim said he'd think Howry would turn it around... no mention of Eyre.

well, I'm sure he knows the BP has sucked this year

 

He has stated publicly that his intentions are simply to cross his fingers and hope guys like Eyre turn it around.

[Derwood]

Just got here, what happened to Lou?

 

Fat Froeming got him suspended.

 

c'mon, be serious. Kicking dirt on an umpire got him suspended

 

No. It was for suposedly making contact

 

which was unnecessary since the ump got the call right.

 

Was it childish, probably. It still doesn't change the fact that Froeming is a idiot who is making crap up.

 

i haven't looked at the video again since the game, but I thought at one point that he DID kick the umpire

 

No way

 

watch this

 

Lou comes out

 

After he throws hit hat, he definitely belly bumps him

 

then we don't see the first two kicks, but the ump reacts like lou might have made contact

 

then the first kick we do see is borderline

 

then lou backs up to kick dirt

 

draw your own conclusions

[Soriano12]

I love D. Lee...but that would not be easy unless you were in a room full of Cubs homers.

[Garwilly]

Watch the replay. He didnt cost himself any time.

[Soriano12]

Interesting interview with Hendry. Me thinks Len and Bob are avid softball players.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think a nine run lead may even be safe for our pen.

The ump was reacting to the dirt being kicked on him, not actually being kicked.

There are worse arguments you could make. He was right there in 2005, 2006 was lost to injury, and this year he's right near the top in OPS(Jones and Bonds are in front of him with less PT, Holliday and Helton in front with Coors) in addition to unbelievable defense.
