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

[UMFan83]

Aramis has hit 1 HR in his last 29 games

 

I don't get it at all. There's no reasonable explanation for his power outage.

 

Maybe he's hiding an injury or the injury to his knees is affecting his power

[C.C.]

PC 51 for Z.

[soccer10k]

Z needs to have a couple more quick innings.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, do you have Floyd's numbers over his last 110 AB?

[JimSorgi]

JJ!!!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

There we go, Jacque!

 

Let's get a little something started!

[soccer10k]

Leadoff double for Jacque. Very nice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones doubled to down the right field line

[moorecg]

August 3rd.

 

Cubs in 1st.

 

Kerry Wood pitching.

 

Zambrano pitching like an Ace.

 

Jacque Jones putting up acceptable offensive #s.

 

If you would have told me all of these things would be true 2.5 months ago I'd have called you crazy.

 

If you told me this now I'd call you crazy.

 

He hit .288 with a .368 OBP in July...for him, in Center...that's acceptible in my book.

 

With absolutely no power whatsoever beyond the six doubles. I expect more out of Jones. While it's better than what he was doing, I still don't quite consider it acceptable.

 

Told you Jacque was hitting acceptable :D

[inari]

Just about every ball hit by JJ seems to go to the first baseman.

[soccer10k]

Kendall trying to take one for the team.

[Allroy]

Get something done here Cobs!

[witty alias]

The first ball hit on the ground is a base hit.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kendall struck out swinging

[inari]

What happened to Kendall not striking out much?

[JimSorgi]

Nice AB Kendall. :x

[Keener98]

worhless....at lwast we have our real hitters up now with Z

[Allroy]

Screw you Kendall. Should have made him bunt there, but he probably would have screwed that up too.

[witty alias]

Kasper"Kendall had too chase." No. He didn't have to.

 

And Brenly said it was "too close too take." It was not close.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Crap....when Z throws that same pitch, it's a ball.

[Keener98]

noway was that a freaking strike Jesus

[inari]

What kind of strike was that?

[Keener98]

What kind of strike was that?

 

a BS one

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zambrano called out on strikes
