9/11 Cubs (Marquis) @ Astros (Backe) 7:05 CSN

[Keener98]

I hope Soriano dies sometime in the next few years...the last 5 years of that contract are going to be a Vin Baker-like albatross...

 

Thats umm a lil harsh dont you think?

 

I agree with Keener. Id be perfectly happy with paralysis.

 

You sure as hell arent agreeing with me as I said nothing that ignorant.

[rocket]

thankfully the only team worse than us at hitting is the team we're facing

[Brian]

well the good news is, if Theriot gets on Lou wouldn't possible sac with Lee... would he?

[Butterscup1679666578]

5 pitch inning by Demp? Sexy.

[Roast]

Dempster out of the inning on 5 pitches?

 

Freakin awesome.

Paralysis is probably worse. Wishing either is ridiculously inappropriate.

[SouthSideRyan]

Dempster having the kind of outing that would have been useful when he threw away the last game of the Dodgers series.

 

He should save this stuff for close games, not ones like tonight.

[TruffleShuffle]

wow this big ten network sounds great, thanks a bunch comcast and big ten a-holes

 

Yeah, why the hell are they advertising it in Houston.

 

probably because they can watch it down there.... but i only live in the home of one of the more prominent big ten members, so why should i be able to watch it too?

[Outshined_One]

No, but if Lee gets on, you can bet your bottom line Pie is bunting him over.

[jyoung55]

5 pitches... wow.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

nice inning demp..

 

i was in vegas over the weekend but I checked the threads on my blackberry, that thread about "dempster should not be our closer" was infuriating to me, even after his blown save.

You still have to pay a contract with paralysis, I think.

 

I'd settle for Kansas City claiming him on irrevocable waivers, though.

 

He can live, we can get our payroll flexibility back, everyone is happy.

[SouthSideRyan]

I think I'd actually laugh if Pie winds up bunting this inning.

[Mizzou]

Nah, Theriot will ground out, Lee will pop out, Pie will single, Lou will have Ramirez bunt him over... only to realize after the fact that it was the third out.

same deal here in ohio. time warner customers are pissed.

[Little Slide Rooter]

To hell with this garbage. Despite putting on 4 runs, this has been the worst offensive performance by the Cubs in a long time. It doesnt matter worth a damn how many base runners you pile up if they dont cross the plate. Im going to bed and Im sure Ill wake up and read about Hunter Pences walk off homer.

 

OK, one more inning. Dempster shocked me with that quickie. The problem is, the only semi trustworthy reliever left is Eyre, and if the Cubs score, they'll have him close, and if not, and the game goes on, we'll be left with Wuertz, Ohman, and Wood. Maybe Lou will go with Hart.

[Iceblink]

Come on, T. You can reach those boxes, too.

[Outshined_One]

I'd love to see Theriot try to bunt for a hit just to watch this board explode.

I hope Kerry Wood doesn't make an appearance tonight.

[Sosa21MVP]

Time to win Cobs. Don't let this game slip away. The Cards are tanking, get the win and keep pace with the Brewers.

[SouthSideRyan]

Wow, not a strike blue.

I laughed.

[Choonch]

That strike 2 call was high!

if the cubs score here or if they don't, leave in demp.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ya know what else Lou could do Bob??

 

Just let the damn team play. No hit and runs, no bunts, just let them swing the damn bats without giving up outs.
