I am liking blue jersey Carlos

[dew1679666265]

I refuse to refer to him as JR Tolls. To me, he is always JR Towles.

DeRosa singled to left field

[Guest]

DeRo didn't hit into a DP!

[CubmanPi]

Alright DeRo!! Way to set the table for...

 

Good hit!

[dew1679666265]

Would I be out of line calling for a two-run homer here?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Would I be out of line calling for a two-run homer here?

 

Calling for a CUBS home run is never out of line !! :wink:

[Butterscup1679666578]

GRITTY!

[Garage Party]

Good running, guys. Well executed for us, not for them.

[dew1679666265]

Good point. :D

 

Everybody safe!

[Outshined_One]

Stop calling the hit and run, Lou.

 

Weird play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded an IF single to third base

[Andy]

Stupid decision by Blum.

 

Sac-bunt Blanco here?

[Guest]

Finally the Cubs aren't the only ones making stupid errors. Hopefully we can capitalize here.

[cbbryan]

You don't see that call everyday.

[Guest]

Stupid decision by Blum.

 

Sac-bunt Blanco here?

 

Hank White is gonna knock it out of the park!

[inari]

Blanco is so likely to ground into a double play that I might bunt here.

 

Er, never mind. Come on Z!

[Garage Party]

Ah, nice. So, do bananas help you hit home runs?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco singled to right field , DeRosa to third, Theriot to second

[cbbryan]

A Big Z HR would be nice here! :D

[Andy]

Nice job Hank White

 

Time for a Z SLAM!!!
