Z's going deep.

You can tell Jason Kendall spent no time near the Cubs' developmental system -- you rarely see him swing at 2-0 and 3-0 pitches.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit at least 1 HR in 6 consecutive games (3-2)

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Omar]

You're leading, Z! Don't break that bat.

[Keener98]

Z's going deep.

 

Or not. I dont care as long as he just shuts them down

[soccer10k]

Z's going deep.

 

Well, maybe not this AB.

[TruffleShuffle]

You're leading, Z! Don't break that bat.

 

haha he really, really wanted to

[Omar]

Z's going deep.

[Omar]

Two games in a row...Are you kidding me?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Payback for Wednesday night from the baseball Gods ???

[Soul]

Another crappy bounce. Great job DLee.

 

This is it man. If you could somehow hold this one run lead the Cards season is effectively over. Cards' announcers pretty much just said the same thing last inning.

[Keener98]

For the love of God how many times in a season do you see a ball hit 1st base, and now Ive seen that crap twice in 3 days Jesus

At least we got the out this time.

[Schwarber Fan]

Two games in a row...Are you kidding me?

 

We played yesterday

[Omar]

Why do players dive to 1B? Wouldn't it be faster to run past it? I mean, isnt sliding so you won't go past 2B, 3B, or avoid the tag at home?

Yeah, but the Cards suck, so .... there you go.

OK...two times in three games.....Are you kidding me?

 

That better?

Some guys... see Jerry Hairston Jr. think it makes the play look closer by causing chaos at first base or something. Yes, it is faster to run through the bad.

I'm glad the good Zambrano decided to make a return tonight.

[inari]

I was all set to bitch about that not being called a strike. What a late call...

Pretty old, well-discussed question. I believe there is some pretty good data that shows sliding slows you down, and should only be done to avoid the tag.

Sit down Spiezio.
