Nothing quite as fun as getting a leadoff double and stranding him on second.

I wonder if the Tigers knew that and that's why they are interested in Jack Wilson?

[TysonCBulls423]

atleast we took some pitches

Good thing he didn't do that for us.

[inari]

I'm calling a sub ten pitch inning.

I think Leyland is spiking his drinks just to get his contract voided.

Detroit Tigers infielder Neifi Perez was suspended for 80 games Friday after testing positive for a third time for a banned stimulant.

 

Perez has been the only player suspended by baseball for stimulants since baseball banned them before the 2006 season.

It's too bad he didn't do that for us. Then Dusty wouldn't have had the option to play him all the time.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Zambrano needs to settle down and throw strikes.

[TysonCBulls423]

whew I had a feeling that was going to end up in the bullpen.

[Allroy]

Any chance Z throws less than 130 pitches today?

[inari]

Wow, Castro's having a nice year.

[TysonCBulls423]

Come on Z get this guy

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Need the out here!

[inari]

Jesus Z. It's Shawn Green! GO AFTER HIM!
