8/23 Cubs (Zambrano) at Giants (Cain) 2:35 PM CT, WGN

[pitchcs]

Pathetic lineup guess:

 

Theriot SS

Jones CF

Lee 1B

Ward RF (I doubt Floyd plays again)

DeRosa 3B

Murton LF

Kendall C

Fontenot 2B

Zambrano P

 

 

I'll say:

 

Theriot SS

Jones CF

Lee 1B

Ward RF

DeRosa 3B

Murton LF

Fontenot 2B

Blanco C

Z P

[killthegoat06]

I'll take an optimistic viewpoint and say ARAm starts. Derosa plays OF in place of murton to get an extra lefty in the lineup. Blanco starts because of Z.

 

Theriot SS

Jones CF

Lee 1B

Aram 3B

Floyd LF

Derosa RF

Fontenot 2B

Blanco C

Z

Giants' color guy was asking for another pitchout on 3-1 anticipating the squeeze.

 

Dude's pretty smart.

I made a joke about LaRussa doing this. Any manager who would actually do this would be an idiot.

[A New Era]

If anyone still has the game from last night on DVR, you'd be my hero if you went back to the bottom of the 10th with 2 outs and paused it and took a picture of me waving the Cubs flag around.

 

Better yet, does anyone know how I could obtain a video clip of this? (Though I doubt it's possible)

 

I could do it for ya. How much of a hero would I be?

 

EDITED to say. You can buy the whole game from MLB (good quality) to keep forever if it's that important to you. Single game prices are $1.99 or $4.99 I can't remember which.

I just happen to be watching it right now and I just read this. I just saw you. I have it on DVR, but don't know how to do anything with it.

Yeah that was one of the most predictable suicide squeezes I've ever seen. I was predicting it before the AB started, and when the count was 3-1 I was just praying that they wouldnt screw it up.

WGN games are cool.

[CubinNY]

Does anyone know if XM has an alternate broadcast so I don't have to listen to the Giants announcers.

No, unfortunately you're stuck with them.... and they're God awful bad !!!

[Rusch33]

Craig Monroe just got traded to the team.

Craig Monroe just got traded to the team.

 

AVG .222 | HR 11 | RBI 55 | OBP .264 | SLG .373

Don't understand the trade or what value he brings beside being better than Fox at this point.

Monroe's career numbers against lefties:

 

.277/.321/.501/.822

 

Fox looks over-matched against Major League pitching. He needs more time in the minors.

He has some power. He's had decent slugging in the past. We need some HR power.

If Monroe can continue to hit lefties I think this is a very solid pick up, especially if we gave up a little bit of nothing...better than Fox, if he gets just a few timely hits down the stretch off lefties it could be a great move.

Fair enough, hope the Cubs didn't give up anyone significant for him.

THAT'S what it was called. I've recalled sketches from that show several times, I could never remember the name though.
