4/4 - Astros (Sampson) @ Cobs (1Pitch Rich), 1:20 PM CT, CSN

[TakeMeOutToTheBallGame]

We're on pace for a 2 hour game. 33 pitches through 4 is just stupid.

[Post Count Padder]

Nice pitch. That curve is nice today when he can control it.

[Dr. Cub]

How long before Fukudome starts wondering what the hell he got himself into?

[VanceJergins]

Hill's at 66 pitches.

[chuckywang]

Chill out guys. A 2 run lead is not impossible to overcome. Especially with this offense.

2 down

And against Sampson.

I'm sure he's too sensible to despair after four games.

 

Plus, he's probably too busy enjoying the money.

Berkman singles

Will the CUBS ever learn to change their approach at the plate with the wind blowing in??? Fukudome is in his fourth game and he seems to have it figured out.

[Post Count Padder]

Good job Berkman

Let's see how sensible he is when it's 40 games in and nothing has changed. This offense looks an awful lot like the pathetic one we saw last year. He seems as though he may be a bit of a competitor, which leads me to believe he'll get frustrated very quickly with this bunch.

Soriano could have caught that ball. We really don't look like we want to be here right now.

What offense?? Fukudome???

[Derwood]

Soriano could have caught that ball. We really don't look like we want to be here right now.

 

i don't think he could have. why dive for it, let it get by you, and then give up 2 more runs?

Cmon Hill

[weis21]

I don't understand how good hill can look to the first two hitters in an inning and so bad thereafter.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We've all seen this episode before. Our amazing offense getting stymied by yet another mediocre young pitcher.

[Post Count Padder]

Nice catch Lee

way too often

over/under on pitches seen this inning is set at 8.5

Anybody else secretly hoping that ball got through the infield so Fuku would make Berkman look foolish at home plate?

What offense?? Fukudome???

 

And Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, Soto

IMO it looked like he misread the ball off the bat. If he would have charged it he probably could have caught it on the run and made a strong throw back to the IF.
