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

[Mizzou]

A pinch-bunt?

[Little Slide Rooter]

If Murton grounds into a DP, guaranteed, he sees no more playing time this season.

[UMFan83]

I hope Murton hits a HR here, so that the feeling of success will keep him warm on the bench the rest of the week.

 

heh

[Sammy Sofa]

Theriot really needs that rest. Maybe not getting the leadoff man on is a good sign after the past few.

 

Theriot is one Carlos Lee diving catch away from everyone slobbing on his knob.

 

Rest, really? These guys are professional athletes.

 

And Theriot is one who is something like 10 for his last 60.

[Iceblink]

Murton 4-6 lifetime against Lidge.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ya know what woulda been funny?

 

Murton bunting.

[UMFan83]

Pitch around him to get to Ramirez, I like it

[Keener98]

wait who's this murton guy?

 

Some inexperienced kid dont worry you wont be seeing much of him

[Outshined_One]

He didn't get a good pitch to bunt there.

[Sammy Sofa]

Zen-like Murton knows nothing but patience.

 

ANYTHING BUT THE DP, RAMIREZ.

[UMFan83]

Quick does anyone know if I can goto Vegas and give them a prop bet that Ramirez will GIDP??

[XZero771679666304]

Time for ARam to hit a 3-run homer.

[Roast]

I hope Murton hits a HR here, so that the feeling of success will keep him warm on the bench the rest of the week.

 

Thats sig-worthy, hahaha.

[TruffleShuffle]

cue the double play ball

[Brian]

PLEASE RAMMY PLEASE

[TMan92]

DP anyone?

[Little Slide Rooter]

2 on, 1 out. Just dont hit into the damn double play. Am I asking for too much here?

[UMFan83]

Ramirez has looked awful all game....please reverse that

[GlassCow]

Gonna need a Ramirez basehit here to prevent a trip to the psychiatrist.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

the only guy i can think of besides ward that I would want up in this situation.

[E.J.]

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.

 

Meh. He's just over-managing because this offense sucks, and he's trying everything he can to get a run in. It's not his fault there aren't good players on this team.

 

Now the rest of his managing...

 

But there are good players on this team. That's the frustrating part.

 

Just way too many holes in the offense. Theriot has been absolutely ice cold for a while now. You never know what you're going to get from Soriano. DLee and Aram have been pretty good. DeRosa has been good. Jacque had a good couple weeks. Floyd is a joke. Kendall has been up and down.

 

It's just not a very good offense.

[UMFan83]

Rammy looking at the strikes and swinging at the balls.

[SouthSideRyan]

Should be 2-0.

[Iceblink]

BS! He looked safe.

[Keener98]

Oh damn that was close at 2nd
