7/21/07 Rattlesnakes (Owings) @ Chicago Cubs (Hill), 12:05pm

[synergy]

Thanks Ramirez.....and Hill has to do a better job of holding the runners on base.

[E.J.]

Looks like Lou said something like "can go F himself" when telling Larry to go out and talk to Hill. :lol:

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Byrnes draws a walk. Great!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 43-27 when they don't allow any runs is the first inning.... 8-17 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Flames24Rulz]

Nice DP to end the inning.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

6-4-3 DP. Thank You.

[inari]

Excellent double play turned by all involved. Hopefully Rich realizes that runs not his fault and he's capable of shutting em down the rest of the way.

[Sosa21MVP]

Them Bayou Bengals sure can turn 2! 8-)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS opponents have GIDP'd at least 1 time in 15 of their last 23 games

 

Go CUBS !!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Only 14 pitches for Rich. Good inning aside from the Byrnes at bat.

[BleacherBadger]

NSBB needs us Badgers. I'll be heading north of the border for another go round in Madison, and I'll do my best to infiltrate everything Milwaukee I can. A spy to throw a wrench in the gears.

 

Nice DP to end the inning, let's have a great day!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Excellent double play turned by all involved. Hopefully Rich realizes that runs not his fault and he's capable of shutting em down the rest of the way.

 

He has had some games in the past where he gives up a run or more in the 1st and then becomes dominant. Hopefully this is one of those times.

[Electron Blue]

Owings has kind of a wierd release, doesn't he?

[inari]

Soriano is having an unusually long AB. Way to make him work Alfonso.

[BleacherBadger]

great walk. way to take more than 2 pitches.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Soriano draws a walk.

[Sosa21MVP]

Soriano walked? :shock: Good eye fella!

[JimSorgi]

Nice AB Soriano.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 44-33 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 7-11 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[inari]

Soriano needs to do that a lot more often. Man, what kind of player would he be if the other pitcher couldn't count on him going fishing so much?

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, we got a break there.

[Sosa21MVP]

Nice. :lol:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Great camera view of Soriano deflecting the throw.

[E.J.]

Looks like that throw hit Soriano in the hand. Nice slide Soriano.

[Sosa21MVP]

Did Soriano hit that ball? I think he did.
