9/23 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Z) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/720

[BigSlick]

Double play in order to get them out of the inning, fully expected to happen.

 

Hooray!

[SouthSideRyan]

RONNY~!!

 

Geo is pretty slow.

[E.J.]

Nice work Ronny!!!

[TMan92]

Ronny is the man. Nice.

[Keener98]

Cedeno keeps on coming thru with runners on.

[CubmanPi]

Crap, Z. At least he got the bunt down.

[E.J.]

That was not a good bunt Len.

[UMFan83]

Craig Monroe's OPS with the Cubs (playing almost only against left handers in a weaker league) .668

[TMan92]

3-1 Milwaukee and Cox continues to leave this piece of garbage on the mound.

 

Don't think we add to the lead today.

[BigSlick]

There goes our bunting foibles again. Anticipating hundreds of posts of how bad our pitchers are at bunting.

 

I still don't care.

[UMFan83]

3-1 Brewers. This Yo-Yo guy is losing it quickly

[Vanilla Ice]

This would be a nice time for a 3 run homer.

[CubmanPi]

This would be a nice time for a 3 run homer.

Sori agrees wholeheartedly, which explains the two giant whiffs to start the AB.

[UMFan83]

There is a runner on second Sori...no need for a homer, although if you get a meaty pitch have at it.

 

Just stop freaking swinging for the fences on terrible pitches

[TMan92]

Great sign in Atlanta...

 

Dear Braves,

 

Please win!

 

Sincerely,

 

Devoted Cub fan

[CubmanPi]

Crap, sori. You protected the plate on plenty of pitches farther off than that.

[BigSlick]

I'm shocked he took that pitch. I'm also shocked it was called a strike because Zambrano didn't get that with 2 strikes.

[E.J.]

Ugh.

 

At least we took the lead.

[CDBears1259]

And he looks at one of the fattest pitch of the AB. Oh well, with the month he's having I guess a bad AB every so often is OK.

 

 

EDIT: one of the fattest

If I were stuck in GA this weekend, I'd gladly settle for watching my second favorite team.

[CubmanPi]

Zambrano threw a slider at that spot that was moving away from the zone. The pitch is as important as the location in getting borderline calls.

[Careless]

So Murton, cedeno, and Soto have been the offense so far in an important late Sept game. It's like an alternate reality.

[TMan92]

They are loaded in Atlanta for the Brewers with one out. Atlanta's Tier 2 relievers are complete crap.

[SouthSideRyan]

Squal, there's at least one other Ignatius guy on here(Outshined_One) and maybe a couple others.

Well with all the major league at bats they've gotten this year, you figure they had to contribute at some point....
