[inari]

It'll be really painful if we blow this. COME ON HOWRY!

[Derwood]

pie swung at ball 4

[illiniguy]

pitching around pie?

 

I sincerely doubt it.

YEah I was joking, should have used a smiley.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

PS I'll happily eat some crow, but we need to win first.

 

Now that you mention it, I probably am hungry enough to eat crow. Stupid lunch not making itself so I could eat...

haha...i went to burger king in the top half of the inning cuz i thought it was pretty much over. but they didn't have crow on their dollar menu...so disappointing

this was probably talked about early in the game, but does anybody else hate the way this ump waits to make his hand signal for strike?

Lou's dumb double switch is going to come back to bite us. If Pie does anything but walk they're going to walk Lee and pitch to Howry.

 

LOL. That is funny.

 

That would be cool though.

LOL. That is funny.

 

The double switch was the right move. He wanted Howry to pitch the 9th. If he doesn't double switch he has to pinch hit for Howry in the bottom to the 8th.

[Rob]

It's annoying, yeah... but he's probably the best (read: most consistent) ump there is, so I'll put up with it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 27-2 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

This is true, I was not aware he had Howry in mind for the save at the time.

 

Much smarter double switch move than a typical Baker version.

[inari]

PLEASE HOWRY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I WANT TO EAT CROW

 

Not to mention, a loss would really sour my day.

yes cuz he takes a while to signal it

So would the crow, probably.

Good call. I'll admit my mistake.

[thedaymen]

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but why no Dempster?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Betancourt struck out swinging

[Brian]

holy crap nice swing :lol:

I wont.

 

Given Lou's bullpen adventures, I'm not sure he has any sort of plan out there... let alone for the next inning.

[inari]

I just did the stupidest thing I've ever done. As he struck him out I yelled "BOOM!" I have no idea why.

[Brian]

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but why no Dempster?

 

pitched the past 4 days

[YearofDaCubs]

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but why no Dempster?

I think he's pitched 3 days straight.

[Rob]

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but why no Dempster?

 

He's worked the last 4-5 days in a row.
