8/3 Mets (Hernandez) @ Cubs (Big Z) 1:20 CT, WGN

[Friendly Confines]

According to gameday, 3 of the balls on Wright were strikes, and the other was borderline.

[bcruise]

Why give Delgado and Wright something good to hit when you can just make Marlon Anderson look like.....well - Marlon Anderson? :lol:

 

I guess I'm saying I didn't mind those walks.

[inari]

Hopefully El Duque does similarly to how he did last time he pitched here.

 

Also, for those of you that don't speak Spanish, El Duque roughly translates to the Duque.

HP: Paul Schrieber.

1B: Tim McClelland.

2B: Andy Fletcher.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano popped out to shortstop

[TysonCBulls423]

Hernandez is a really tough guy to hit when he's got that slow curve working

[Choonch]

That Mets lineup looks a lot less intimidating without Beltran.

[inari]

God I hate the crowd.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot flied out to right field

[Flames24Rulz]

Cubs go 1-2-3.

El Duque looks good :evil:

This game looks to be a offensive struggle Edited August 3, 2007 by UMFan83

[inari]

I think Derrek Lee has struck out on every single 3-2 pitch he's ever seen.

[FergieJ31]

Meek, very meek.

[CubColtPacer]

El Duque's BABIP so far this year-.223. That's just absurd.

Haven't I told you a million times not to exagerate ???? :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castro popped out to third base

[CubmanPi]

1 pitch 1 out is always nice. More of that, less walks please Z.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

El Duque's BABIP so far this year-.223. That's just absurd.

 

I'll say, I bet he's the only guy in the league below zero.

[inari]

I love when they make outs early in the count against Z.

 

Speaking of Z, he's getting squeezed.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That one looked good. Zambrano is getting squeezed.

[Keener98]

What the hell is up with the continuos horrible umpiring behind the plate for Cub games?

[Flames24Rulz]

Z strikes out Green.

[TysonCBulls423]

K!
