Rich gets bailed out by the DP.

[Keener98]

Hey Cubs: it's Wandy I Dropped The Soap! Rodriguez!!!

 

Hey Lou: Better pull Murton; he didn't get the job done, & it's a performance based sport.... :D

 

And the Murton excuses keep pooring in.

 

Where do you see an excuse in what he said?

[CUBZ99]

Nice DP, now keep the PC down.

Screw it bench everyone and forfeit.

So is it really a small strike zone or is it just usual game thread overreaction?

Is it not possible to criticize Hill without getting stabbed in the eye by those that are handcuffed to his bandwagon?

[aerosmith21]

Way to battle back 1 pitch rich.........

[CUBZ99]

This is gonna be an interesting game with the floating strike zone and all.

[Smack]

Whew.

[TMan92]

18 pitches by Hill. Good improvement Rich.

[weis21]

what a terrible strikeout hill....you bum :x

[TruffleShuffle]

pretty small... murton had one pitch called a ball that sure looked like a strike, and two close one against biggio were also close

[Allroy]

There you go Rich. Now get you chin up and get after it.

[TruffleShuffle]

if patterson were in the lineup the cubs would already have 5 runs

[aerosmith21]

Wow this umpire is so inconsistent......could be a long nite

[CUBZ99]

if patterson were in the lineup the cubs would already have 5 runs

 

Or if Soto had been called up.

[weis21]

cool, strikezone just doubled for derosa.

[TruffleShuffle]

okay so much for that small strike zone... "strike two" was a solid six to ten inches off the inside corner
