[Vanilla Ice]

enough with Howry. Bring on Marmol :D

 

Marmol pitched a ton last night. No way he gets used tonight.

 

I was not being serious.

[weatherdood]

Phew. Again, insurance runs would be fantastic.

 

What, about 4 or 5 of them?

That looked a lot better off the bat

 

My initial thought that it was gone in right field. I judged it incredibly poorly.

Every game seems to be like this picture.

The ass-slaps have been saving the day tonight.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 66-3 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Were all three games Dempster's fault?

I think everyone thought that was was gone.

Kendall flied out to shallow center field

Depends on your definition of fault. I wouldn't say last night's game was Dempster's fault, but he did take a loss.

[C.C.]

I just hate, hate our offense. I can't believe we only scored 3 runs tonight. Just amazing.

[Derwood]

Eyre, wow

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot walked

[aerosmith21]

That was too funny seeing that glimpse of Eyre poking his head out of the out of town scoreboard.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 60-56 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 13-15 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Eyre is terrifying.

[TruffleShuffle]

aaarrrrgh why is trachsel starting tomorrow? he freakin sucks.

[ElectricJ]

Daryle's going deep. I can feel it

[Little Slide Rooter]

What I like about Theriot is even though his bats in a slump, hes still able to pick up some big walks and sacs.

[C.C.]

I hope he hits Eyre in the face.

I was just wondering. Also, we did not lead after 8 innings yesterday. The Dodgers game was his fault though.
