4/6 Astros (Backe) at Cobs (Zambrano), 1:20 PM CT, WGN

[Guest]

I think somehow Lee stole Fukudome's mojo.

[Andy]

Runge hates the Japanese. 2nd time he's called an absurd strike on Kosuke.

 

Z in position for the W he deserves. Let's nail it down.

[Warpticon]

Derrek Lee has been playing baseball in his backyard.

[Vanilla Ice]

I think Lee will hit more homeruns than last year.

 

Be careful on that tree you just walked out on. :D

beat you by a little bit

[Little Slide Rooter]

Time for Z to shut em down for another inning and bring in Kid K to close the deal.

Come on Marmol, lets hand this thing to Woody in the 9th.

[VanceJergins]

What can I say? I like to go against the odds.

[Garage Party]

That strike away on Kosuke was absurd.

 

Welp, Marmol time.

Felix sighting

[TruffleShuffle]

That strike away on Kosuke was absurd.

 

yeah that ball was more than a foot outside. maybe runge doesn't like the japanese.

[Little Slide Rooter]

As nice as Lees AB was, Arams AB was absoutley brutal. WTF was that

 

I was thinking that too. Ive never seen anyone in such a hurry to get back to the dugout.

[Keener98]

Hmm guess injury bothering Pie huh

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch, Pie in cf for the CUBS

[TysonCBulls423]

I'm worried about Fukudome. Ward for RF ASAP :lol:

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 71-6 when they lead after 7 innings

I'm thinking he doesn't like giving bases on balls

[Vanilla Ice]

well he may not have to bat and his wrist is probably fine to play defense

[JimSorgi]

I know, you guys do remember what they did to us, right?

I know I was being facetious(I have no clue how to spell that word)

[dew1679666265]

Over the course of 3-4 at bats and 9 innings in the field? Yea, probably. He'll likely bat no more than once today, big difference.
