8/8 Idiots (Z) @ Astros (Oswalt) 7:05 PM WGN

[Banedon]

Well the only guy that's hit a homer for the Cubs this series is up...

 

Not this time...

[CubmanPi]

DeRosa and Fontenot back to back leadoff hits. I call a Murton triple play here.

[Cynosure]

Fake rally is the best possible term that can be used to describe this situation.

 

We only have rallykillers:

 

Murton

Hill

 

in our ways

[anabiono]

Does Floyd bring any value to the Cubs whatsoever?

 

He's a heck of a nice guy.

 

Pretty much what I was going to say. He's got some good leadership ability from what I've heard, but uh.... that's it.

 

that is why he should be the pinch hitter...along with very, very occasional starts...you know...when the numbers are just outrageously in his favor

[TMan92]

Yeah Murton!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton flied out to right center field

[Soul]

Now the DP is set.

[CubsBears29]

DeRosa almost slipped and almost didn't get back in time - instead of not advancing.

 

Would have been perfect if he had fallen and got put out.

[Cynosure]

RALLY KILLER!

 

Only one more to go: Hill!

[WrigleyinEngland]

Ha Ha Ha Hills up, can we not play bat with 8 men?

[CubsBears29]

Oswalt pitching around Hill, sorta, what an idiot!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

ok , i'm going to smoke 3 ciggys at once outside that's what is required just to watch a k Hill AB.

 

Got some of them Lefty Luckies ?? :wink:

Yeah, I wish he wasn't such a stand up guy.. I could easily hate him then. His being nice makes it a bit difficult, at least for me.

 

We don't really have a legitamate reason to hate anyone on the team.

[Banedon]

Anyone watch Chicago Tribune Live tonight? Dave Van Dyck from the Trib was on there, and was telling us how Pie is good for defense and as a pinch runner, but not much else. KC Johnson agreed with him.

[Cynosure]

OT: Hill's dad's name is KENARD?

True... "Hate" is a tad strong...

[CubsBears29]

Walked Hill to get to a guy who loves hitting in MM.

 

Oswalt SHOULD pay for this, but he won't unfortunately. :cry:

[TMan92]

Zambrano is our only chance to score runs.

[E.J.]

Let's all pray Z hits a grand slam.

[Fred Hornkohl]

K Hill walked , DeRosa to third, Fontenot to second

[Cynosure]

GRAND SLAM Z HERE IT COMES

I'm just coming from the angle that hate shouldn't really be used to describe ones feelings towards anyone as a result of what they do on a baseball diamond.

I'm sure there is one reason lurking in the shadows. I assume the worst though. :wink:

What are Floyd and Jones good for?
