SEND HIM DOWN!

[Brian]

W T F, that was nowhere near the zone :lol:

[Bruno7481]

Nice play by Murton in right.

 

Are people that desperate to complement him that he gets credit for catching a line drive hit right at him?

 

 

Western Springs, IL is going to kick New Albany's butt on Wednesday night on their way to Williamsport.

 

Hehehe....

 

my nephew is actually on that team.

[E.J.]

Murton will be benched for another month after that at-bat.

[Roast]

Where the hell was that!?

[Smack]

I think Murton is walking to the clubhouse to pack his bags for Iowa...

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

That was a strike?

[The Voice of Reason]

Derwood collects on the over (9 times).

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

Things not looking good in Cubland right now. I know Soriano has been pretty mediocre lately but this team can't afford to lose any power hitters.

 

He's day to day. Like I said before, the Cubs survived without DLee and Aramis for stretches this year and I think they are both more important to the offense than Sori.

 

This wouldn't be as big of a deal if the pitchers hadn't surrendered 7 runs tonight. Hell, the Cubs have barely been giving up 4 runs/game, on average, as a staff. Bad night.

 

Yeah, but it's still one game. For every 7-run night, there's a 1-run night; we've had those too. That's the power of averages.

 

The Cubs have one of the best pitching staffs in the NL; Coming into this game, the Cubs were tied for 2nd best in the NL with a 3.87 team ERA (also best in the NLC). By contrast, the Brewers staff ERA is 4.23.

 

It's just a bad night by Cubs pitchers. It's not like they often allow 7 ERs.

 

Since the last game of the St. Louis series, both the starters and bullpen have been pretty bad.

 

Including the 7 runs tonight, the Cubs have surrendered an average of 4.1 RA since that game (and have averaged 4.8 runs scored). So RA are slightly inflated.

W T F, that was nowhere near the zone :lol:

 

I don't think I have seen worse umpiring than on this home stand.

[Roast]

screw off, morgan

[Brian]

aww she's crying

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I think we should've known that Foster's zone wasn't going to be that great when he said his left eye went fuzzy after he got hit on the right side of his face. What a criminal call against Murton.

[Smack]

christ... she's crying

[Skyballer]

Murton will be benched for another month after that at-bat.

Ineveitable, Lou will find a way to keep him out of the lineup if Jones, Pagan and Floyd all go down with injuries.

[Derwood]

wow, i want to punch joe morgn in the face after that commetn

[Banedon]

LOL....there's more camera shots of Glavine's wife than Glavine himself.

[Brian]

blue wants to call those foot outside pitches

[E.J.]

Tears of joy as she once again realizes the millions of dollars she has.

[Roast]

Well, Congrats to Glavine, i guess.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

aww she's crying

 

ESPN got the money shot.

[Derwood]

Derwood collects on the over (9 times).

[Brian]

horrible game.

 

bad home stand.

[The Voice of Reason]

what do i win?

 

 

You get to take Roast to Prom.

[E.J.]

Well, I pretty much expected Glavine to get the victory tonight, with Marquis going for the cubs, so I guess I'm not that disappointed with tonight's outcome. Let's just hope Soriano isn't hurt that badly.
