9/13 Cubs (Trachsel) @ Astros (Williams) 7:05 CST CSN WGN720

[TruffleShuffle]

ooh good trivia question... which active manager had the highest career batting average as a player? I'm gonna guess Cecil Cooper since he's managing this game, but it could be Joe Torre too.

 

edit - yay i win... he beat torre by .001

Who didn't see that coming?

[Fred Hornkohl]

C Lee homered to left field

[E.J.]

Here come the Astros. I hate Trachsel.

[BigSlick]

3 Innings out of Steve Trachsel is about the best you can hope for.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Astros leadoff batters have hit for the cycle.

[Guest]

Meh, better a solo shot.

[Little Slide Rooter]

All Soriano doe sis pop the damn ball up

and hit home runs. or had you forgotten already?

 

HRs and pop ups. Either was, that shouldnt be the credentials of a lead off hitter.

[chuckywang]

Lets end the Astros trend of getting the leadoff batter on.

 

Well, in a sense Trachsel ended that trend all by himself.

I take it you missed the HR?

 

I think you're expecting too much. Most Cubs fans only have a 1-inning attention span.

[BigSlick]

Meh, better a solo shot.

 

Trachsel needs to stop doing this to me.

 

Just pitch 2 more friggin' innings you make it look like the hardest friggin thing to do.

[kylescubs23]

Well he technically didn't get on.

[aerosmith21]

Time to put Hart in!!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lamb grounded out to second, 4-3

[BigSlick]

Trachsel HATES getting ahead of hitters.

[chuckywang]

Jesus Trachsel, you are walking on water because of our defense.

 

Well, that would make sense cause you did call him Jesus.

 

C'mon...I made this joke just for you guys. LAUGH DAMMIT!!

Besides the HR..What is he like 4 for his last 32? Its either a HR once in every while or he jsut pops up or K's..136 mil shouldve bought Alotttt more than what hes doing

He's given the team a 2.70 ERA (sure it's been ugly) thus far, I'm stunned and rather pleased.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Scott grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Loretta homered to left field

[DiamondMind]

it hurts. IT HURTS.

[BigSlick]

God, God, Damnit, Damnit.

[SouthSideRyan]

Hart plz.

[E.J.]

Awesome. Great work Trachsel.

 

 

Garbage.

It's an awful contract and he most certainly wasn't worth it - but you were complaining about him doing nothing less than an hour after he hit a home run.
