9/3 Cubs (Toro) vs. LA (Not Coin) 3:05 WGN

Fake rally time?

[TMan92]

Any reason Henry Blanco's playing today? Or why Z sucks again?

 

kendall is out for a game or 2 to heal his hand which was swollen from the hbp yesterday.

 

z sucks again because he's mental.

 

Z just needs K. Hill catching him again. He dominated with Hill playing. Look at the stats.

 

Oh no.....another can of worms about to be opened.

if signing z means five years of koyie hill on the roster, i don't think i want zambrano.

So we're going to carry an inferior catcher on our team solely to catch a pitcher because he's a headcase?

[Keener98]

Murton is a terrible RF. There's absolutely no denying that.

 

There is no denying hes the best option we have out there either.

[BigbadB]

I didnt call him ignorant. And quoting a post and adding nothing to it adds nothing to the site as well.

 

So if he posted nothing, are you calling his non-post ignorant? Or were you calling him ignorant for posting nothing.

 

Either way, ignore it if you don't like it. All you did was turn a harmless non post into another post that has absolutely zero to do with the game.

jeez.

 

I like what he does at the plate, for the most part, and his defense in LF is serviceable. But he's a butcher in RF. He looks like a chicken with its head cut off out there.

 

lf and rf are the same.

Maybe on your computer they are, but not in real life.

[abuck1220]

murton didn't even hit a homer!

Well besides them being two totally different areas of the field, and reading the angle of the ball off the bat.

 

They are not the same, granted its not as big of a difference between CF and a corner outfield spot, but its far from "the same."

That is flat-out not true.

A fake rally in this case would constitute 6-7 runs.. I wouldn't bet on it one bit.

Hill is not much worse than Blanco. And Zambrano might win a game every now and then.

[weatherdood]

WTF Loaiza?

[Mizzou]

Why is he thinking about trying to pick him off with a 9 run lead?

[Keener98]

Ok Lou time to get Aram some extra rest along with Soriano and Lee. Just take them out so they can get some extra rest.

a "rich hill is your boyfriend" joke AND a "they don't play games on a computer, nerd" comment...you're on fire today!

[AlwaysaCub]

At least after the balk we can't have a GIDP here

[SouthSideRyan]

Is Jones a mute? It seems the corner guys never hear him calling for it.

 

That ball was clearly Jacque's. Murton should have yielded sooner.

 

I'm not being a Murton apologist, he's looked pretty bad in the OF (which surprises me because he was pretty average out there last year, I really don't know what happened to him), but there has seemed to be a lot of communication problems in the OF this year, mostly between Soriano and Jones, though that's more because our RFs have tended to have no range whatsoever so they're never there to interfere with Jacque. I don't know who's to blame if it's primarily Soriano, Jacque, our RFs, or everyone, but there's been a lot of near misses on collisions in the OF, and I fear for one of them actually coming through at some point.

[anabiono]

can't we all just get along?

 

:P

by the way...as you know, i don't watch the games. my computer told me that your ace didn't pitch very well today, but i wanted to get an eyewitness account...how'd he look?

Not to ruin a good pissin match, but you honestly think playing LF and RF are the same? Or were you just trying to rile him up?

You're stupid and ugly!

Awful.

 

Pretty nifty how I can admit when my favorite pitcher has a bad outing, isn't it?

please explain the difference between catching a fly ball in rf and in lf.
