8/4 Mets(Maine) @ Cubs(Lilly) 2:55 P.M.(CT) FOX

JOnes should have scored once he went to second.

 

He would have been thrown out if he had gone.

You think? I don't know. I think he would have been able to make it.

[Soul]

He would have been pegged. He had to hold.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, that was a wasted opportunity.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-0 when Jacques Jones is 3 for 3.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Hahahahahahaha.

 

Just checking to see if somebody was paying attention !! :wink:

[illiniguy]

He would have been pegged. He had to hold.

 

From 2nd? No way. He was pretty far up the line when Sele caught it since Wright was nowhere near the base. I can't really blame Jacque for not taking the chance considering we're up 4 and Soriano is on deck, but he would've made it.

JOnes should have scored once he went to second.

You think? I don't know. I think he would have been able to make it.

 

No. He froze and retreated to third. If he restarts on the throw, the SS throws home and nails him.

[Soul]

Wow we really could have used even 1 run there. I know it's only been Alou and nothing else, but I dunno I think these Mets are capable of the comeback.

[UMFan83]

I don't know why, I just don't trust Soriano in situations like that. Gosh these potential runs better not come back to haunt us

I dunno, I mean the pitcher looked him back and Reyes can easily make a throw home from 2nd. He was moving back towards 3rd...

 

Maybe he would have made it.

If he holds and makes the SS commit to his throw to 2nd, he can go on the throw.

[CubsNSkers07]

Wow Lastings isn't trying to rip the cover off the ball haha

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milledge called out on strikes

[Mizzou]

That's at least two times today where Kendall has assumed it was strike three before the ump called it that way. I like it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-0 when they don't issue any walks.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubsNSkers07]

lee jump into the stands! make that play!

[Soul]

Buck & Rosenthal really talking up Lilly.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lilly is dealing today!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gotay, pinch hitting for Sele, called out on strikes

[CubsNSkers07]

Wow Lilly is locating well

[Brian]

Lilly = dealing

[cjbucks]

Anybody else getting excited about the prospect of maybe seeing Kerry Wood on the mound?

[CubsNSkers07]

Aww boo i wanted 9 k's!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lilly is very good!
