7/3 CUBS (Zambrano) vs Nat's (Redding), 6:05pm CT, WGN-TV

[Coach C]

I hate sac bunts in the beginning of the game. Make absolutely no sense.

 

With a good bunt, it prevents a DP, and it provides Lee a chance to drive them in (Since they're IBB'ing him now) or Floyd in this case.

 

The game can get 3-0 in a hurry.

 

No, bunting is the right move just about never. Never.

 

3-0!

 

See? :D

 

I once stuck my hand down the garbage disposal to grab a quarter and didn't get my hand chopped up.

 

Sure if the garbage disposal switch is on the "off" position. :D

Dero=clogger. Blow this thing open Font!

[cjbucks]

I take it Aramis have the day off today?

 

Yep. Dero is playing 3rd.

 

gave him the night off so he can play the day game tommorow

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Full count with the bases loaded.

[98navigator]

Fonty lines out to SS

 

2 down

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn. Lopez leaps to catch Fontenot's liner.

 

2 out.

[Coach C]

Dang... if that was at least another 2 inches higher, that would had brought in 2 runs.

[CubinNY]

Tim Redding is not good at pitching.

[98navigator]

Pagan out to LF to end the inning. 3-0

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pagan flies out on the first pitch to retire the side. Mid 3, 3-0 Cubs.

[Coach C]

Tim Redding is not good at pitching.

 

And Pagan is not good at hitting.

[Allroy]

Tim Redding is not good at pitching.

 

That is why we should really tack them on now.

[Soul]

Damn, that could have ended it.

 

Let's go Z.

[CubinNY]

Did Pie die or something?

 

What a wasted opportunity.

[Allroy]

Damn. We should have really layed it on them there. That will come back to haunt us.

[inari]

Is there any doubt not scoring more will come back to bite us?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Damn. We should have really layed it on them there. That will come back to haunt us.

 

Not unless redding forgets where the mound is next inning.

[Outshined_One]

It's a good move. The last thing the Cubs need is a GIDP.

 

That or Zambrano running through a stop sign and creating a play at the plate.

 

Believe me, I wouldn't put it past him to bowl over a catcher.

 

That's what I was worrying about-Theriot doesn't get that many extra base hits, and if he did single Z had a good chance of getting himself thrown out somewhere on the bases.

 

I was more worried about Z deciding the create a collision at the plate and getting himself injured in the process.

[Coach C]

Nice effort by Pagan. That could had been a triple.

[inari]

Nice play by Pagan to prevent that from being a triple.

[cjbucks]

Did Pie die or something?

 

What a wasted opportunity.

 

I thought I read today that he is starting tommorow

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's strand the runner at third.

[inari]

Did Pie die or something?

 

What a wasted opportunity.

 

I thought I read today that he is starting tommorow

 

Excellent. Bruce said in another thread that Lou and the coaches are working hard with Felix to get him to improve mechanically before they start giving him regular PT again.

[98navigator]

Is there any doubt not scoring more will come back to bite us?

 

It's 3-0 with a hot Zambrano pitching against a team that rarely scores 4 runs. This game better be over right now (even though I will continue to grind on every out).

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zimmerman flies out to Floyd.
