9/12 Cubs (Hill) @ Astros (Albers) 7:05 CST WGN-9/WGN-720

[Andy]

Babe DeRosa :D

[E.J.]

Another nice slide by DeRo.

[SouthSideRyan]

I think I could put one in the Crawford Boxes.

[PrimeTime]

Nice how he does that with no one on and 2 outs but grounds into DP when we have guys on

[Guest]

If he holds the tag, DeRosa is out. DeRo bounced off the bag for a split second.

[weatherdood]

Let's put 4 or 5 more up on the board, and not have to worry about using Howry, Dempster, Marmol...

 

I'd be happy to go with Ohman/Pignatiello in the 8th, Wood/Wuertz in the 9th

[erik316wttn]

I'm guessing the source of people wanting Stone as GM is Steve Stone.

 

I'm guessing Stone's making clear he has no interest in being a GM is based on the actual interest in his GMing.

 

Don't get me wrong, he wouldn't be the worst GM in baseball, but the other awful GMs get their chances because they've worked their way up through the system making excellent coffee.

 

Have you heard Stone on WSCR? He would probably be the worst GM.

 

Have you seen some of the actions of current GMs? Granted Littlefield is gone now, but Jim Bowden and Wayne Krivsky are still gainfully employed. Whoever's running Baltimore now too.(Duquette? though whoever it is, I'd blame Angelos more than anyone else.)

 

Isn't Andy MacPhail the Baltimore GM?

[E.J.]

I think I could put one in the Crawford Boxes.

 

with a 3-wood, maybe.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit at least 1 double in 12 consecutive games

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

i thought he was the team prez?

[weatherdood]

Cards down to their final 3 outs, in case anyone's still pretending to care. 5-1 Cincy

[Derwood]

what that team needs is 4 games in 3 day against the division leader. that'll get them right back into it

I could get there with a sand wedge, but my baseball swing is shot now so I'd never get there with a bat and baseball.

That's an excellent point. Too bad they're playing the Cubs this weekend.

point is, i'm not writing that team off until they're done with all their games against us and the Brewers

[badger1679666666]

Hitting a baseball fair is tough and doing it only 33% of the time is excellent?

I would actually like the see them hang close enough into the final week so that their games against the Brewers are at least somewhat meaningful...Of course, that is after we take 3 out of 4 from them

[Keener98]

So I just got home and seen the score, hows Rich looked tonight?
