Good job Neal!

WOOO. Yeah, he shut down a bunch of AA guys!

:lol:

 

Actually I wasnt even paying attention who was batting that inning.

 

Joey Gaithwright isn't AA is he?

 

No. but check the bolded part.

 

Shame, shame Ali, you need to be checking it out before you post.

So i'm pretty sure that that ump is just calling everyone out as long as a throw is made.

[Roast]

Marmol in to finish off these suckers.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Eric! We're stacked at 2B

 

And yet, we're still trying to trade for another one.

When you see him in the field for an extended period of time at 2B, you'll understand.

Marmol works a perfect 9th and....

[RedFlash]

By the way, whose idea was it to let both teams wear the same color?

 

 

It was MINE....I thought it would kinda cool to see if I can get fans fooled.

How did Patterson look defensively at second?

How did Patterson look defensively at second?

I saw one play that he made which was pretty nice. Of course, we would probably have to see him play quite a bit more than 1 or 2 games to gauge his defensive prowess.

I agree. I wonder how he would project hitting wise compared to Roberts. It would be tough to have a middle of Theriot and Patterson if both struggled defensively but I would hope Patterson's bat would help cover that weakness. I wonder if the Cubs would benefit if they put Cedeno and DeRosa out there when Marquis pitches and the weaker fielders when it's a strike out guy on the mound.

I briefly mentioned it earlier in this thread. Right now, we're stacked at 2B. We have Fontenot, Patterson, DeRosa, and Cedeno. All capable of playing 2B. Granted, these guys are not Roberts(DeRo is close IMO) I just don't see the reason to trade for Roberts and give up Gallagher whom I think will be needed down the road.

I agree...it's that leadoff thing, probably just the need for speed I suppose. I'm more worried about SS, backup 3B and making sure Pie and or Soto hit. I'd like to see Fox step up and take some grounders at 3rd.
