So woody hasn't pitched since the 15 and Howry pitched yesterday. Why is Howry up?

 

Wood hasn't looked all the great and this is a pivotal game.

 

We've got a 3 run lead. He needs to work his kinks out so he can be a valuable part of the pen coming down the stretch.

 

You say that like a 3 run lead is safe?

 

not entirely, but we're facing a horrible lineup (save pujols) and it's STILL a 3 run lead. You're acting like its a tie game against the '27 yankees.

 

And Pujols is due up second this inning

 

So Woody can't face any good batters, even with a 3 run lead?

 

How's he going to get his confidence?

 

Based on the way Wood looked in his last outing, I'd prefer Piggy right now.

 

And now it's a 2-run lead.

[Outshined_One]

Uggggggggggggggggggggh.

[CubsBears29]

Who was saying we don't need any more runs??

 

Uh, yeah.......

Lou has pitched him a tie game. I just think at this point in time he can't be relied on a pivotal game like this. We have a chance to bury this team.

[YearofDaCubs]

I'm getting sick of Howry. He has been very hittable this year. Time to remove him from the setup role.

Okay, but even if wood lets the first guy get on, and pujols goes deep, we're still winning.

besides, Howry didn't do such a great job of getting him out.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

A solo homer by Pujols is okay there. Just don't do it again.

[badger1679666666]

I'm a huge Howry fan, but Wood could have done that.

 

:lol:

[CubsBears29]

And again........................

[TruffleShuffle]

saw that coming a mile away

[Schwarber Fan]

nevermind

[Alfonso Soriano]

Stop sucking Howry

[C.C.]

Still feel safe with a 3-run lead?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Come on, Bob.

[TruffleShuffle]

juan encarnacion sucks, how come he hits us well

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wards still scares me....

[98navigator]

4 outs to get!

 

Vasgersian (sp?) is irritating!

He's Kerry Wood, not some scrub from the Reds bullpen.

[C.C.]

Nice...1 more.

[Careless]

To be charitable, I'll say that ward looks rusty in the field

[CraziCub]

Watching Daryle Ward field his position causes me heart palpitations.

 

What happened? I don't have audio or video today :cry:

Was I watching a different game on Wednesday?

[CubsBears29]

Daryle... these palpitations are getting painful... please stop doing the Edmonds thing and making easy catches look like Gold Glove-caliber stuff.

He's not Kerry Wood from 2003. C'mon get real.

I like Kerry and all, but his last outing was bad. The outing before that was bad. He may have a history of being good, but I'm not sure he is right now.
