6/12 Mariners (Washburn) @ Cubs (Hill) 7:05 CSN

[98navigator]

We freaking suck!

 

When is Ramirez coming back?

 

he's not eligible to come off the DL until the second game of the Rangers series.

 

6/22 the start of the Sox series

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hopefully it'll be Pie-Soriano-Floyd next inning.

 

I think I'd rather have Floyd, but Pie would be fine.

 

Uh....

[C.C.]

I wish murton would go back to being awesome and stop sucking.

 

When was he awesome?

 

2005 (51 games): .321/.386/.521 (avg/obp/slg)

 

2006: 297/.365/.444 (.319/.390/.522 in the second half)

 

Sheez! He's been so bad this year I almost forgot about those numbers.

[C.C.]

Great play...

[Prior4CyYoung]

nice play by theriot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ellison, pinch hitting for Washburn, grounded into a DP, 6-4-3, Betancourt out at second

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

Hopefully it'll be Pie-Soriano-Floyd next inning.

eh i bet floyd hits for the pitcher

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice DP.

 

too bad we won't score any more.

[sunnydoo]

A productive AB would have been one where he got on base or drove in a run not making the final out of an inning.

 

Um, no.

 

Those 9 pitches he just took in his AB ran Washburns count up close to 100, meaning he had to be taken down for a PH.

 

Hopefully we can have better success against another pitcher instead of the 5 freaking hits we have so far.

[seanimal]

c'mon rich

[Fred Hornkohl]

Suzuki doubled to right center field

[abuck1220]

it's hard to get upset about 6 2/3 innings and 3 runs, but the balk and the hit to the pitcher really killed hill.

 

but the cubs owe it to hill to get him a win when he really hasn't pitched that well.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Thanks for ignoring a curve ball down the middle blue.

[SouthSideRyan]

Great job on all 3 sides of that DP.

 

And I can't believe that hit went for a double.

[RichHillIsABeast]

nice dp.

[abuck1220]

damn it, now hill can't get the win. he's never going to get to the ASG.

[Roast]

thank god izturis is gone.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Murton sucks.

[weis21]

where the heck was pagan and murton playing?

[RichHillIsABeast]

F U, Lou. Sit down and let him pitch.

yeah, i'm sure those four extra pitches were what made the difference since he was due up 2nd in the inning.

 

your defense of izturis is as irrational as your hatred for barrett.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

where the heck was pagan and murton playing?

 

Pagan has been shading him to left center, and Murton was probably straight away or towards the line.

[SouthSideRyan]

It's a game thread, so I'm going to go ahead and be reactionary even though I'm a big Murton supporter:

 

I'd double switch out Murton for Floyd and then just pinch hit Jones or Fontenot when the pitchers spot came up in Murton's place.

[weis21]

F U, Lou. Sit down and let him pitch.

 

he has given up 2 solid singles in the last 3 ABs and the DP was hit hard as well. I have no problem with the move.
