7/14 CUBS (Lilly) vs. Astros (Oswalt), 2:55 PM CT, FOX

[E.J.]

What happened to Floyd this time, and did it have anything to do with the triple in the first?

 

He strained his left shoulder on that dive in the 1st.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa grounded an IF single to the catcher , Ramirez scored on a throwing error, E2

Nice inning. Started by the one and only Cesar Izturis!

Jacque is awesome at grounding the ball to the right side of the infield.

Jacque is awesome at grounding the ball to the right side of the infield.

 

He learned from watching Pierre so much last season. Isn't that what CFers do?

[DurbanJer]

And ended by JJ

As I've said many times before, nobody will ever be happy with the 3B coach.

 

He's either too cautious or too agressive.

 

I was happy with the drunk we had last year.

 

You know what I mean though. If he sends the guy 50% call him an idiot if he's thrown out. If he holds a guy the other 50% is made he didn't send him.

 

I know what you mean. But people are really never happy with anything until their team wins that 4th game in the World Series. It's not just 3B coaches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-34 when they hit at least 1 double.... 4-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

I know you can do this Fred, what are the Cubs when they don't score in the first, but give up a run in the first, and hit at least 1 double......?

 

 

Let's save that one for after the game, eh ? :wink:

[inari]

Gah. Astros looking to get right back in it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ensberg singled to center field

[TruffleShuffle]

get these bottom of the order losers out

A sweep, you say.... :-k

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bruntlett struck out swinging

[cubsfan5150]

HOLY COW, the national championships of ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, is on ESPN 2 right now. I thought this was a joke, but it's the real deal. Odd.

[Soul]

Whiff 1 down.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

BTW, Phillies beating Cardinals 5-3.

When you post the graphs, do you have to save it to photobucket? Or is there another way?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Crap! Settle down, Ted.

[inari]

Yep, this doesn't look good at all.
