Soriano makes a complete ass of himself to lead off the bottom 5th

 

fix'd

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to second, 4-3

[Alfonso Soriano]

So much for this

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We threw the patience out the window this inning. :x

[XZero771679666304]

You have got to be kidding me. Wow, who the hell swings at those pitches???????????????????????

 

Alfonso Soriano and Shawon Dunston

[CubsBears29]

You know a guy has blister problems.........so we are making this a very-little-pitches inning.

[SouthSideRyan]

Way to work the count Ryan!!! SCRAPPY!!

[soccer10k]

Two quick outs. Wonderful, guys.

[RynoRules]

Just a bit outside.

 

Not to worry - we'll be in there pen very soon.

[ZMovieman]

Soriano trying to be Vlad right there.

[Soul]

Seriously, that was the top of our order.

[Alfonso Soriano]

LOL!

Great inning Cobs

[UMFan83]

Thanks for ensuring another inning for sheets Cobs

[soccer10k]

Soriano thought he was playing cricket.

[Soul]

Just a bit outside.

 

Not to worry - we'll be in there pen very soon.

 

At the rate we're making Sheets throw? Don't think so.

8 pitch inning

 

nice win Sheets

[rickrolled]

Soriano's AB was especially pathetic in that inning

[CubsBears29]

This game feels differently, to me.

 

When we down 3-1 or 3-0 yesterday, I didn't like our chances of coming back... but I got this feeling we got this one in the bag. Besides, won't be long before Yost pulls Sheets well before he should come out, so no worries.

 

:P

 

 

Yes, even after that PITIFUL half-inning of non-offense, I still harbor hope that all is not lost tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We looked like crap that inning. All we needed was some deep at bats, and Soriano swung at two pitches that were four feet away from the strike zone and Theriot grounds out on the first pitch. :puker:

[weatherdood]

Simply pathetic...so much for my optimism about this game.

[CubFanPhilly]

What a craptastic display that was. They just took a lousy BP off the hook for another inning.

[Andy]

That was a miserable half inning.

 

We'll wake up around the 7th or 8th again. Just hope Milwaukee doesn't have any more runs by that point.

[weis21]

just think about how much we could be leading this division if our players played intelligently and with good fundamentals. Theriot's had a terrible night.
