Z sighting. He's swinging the bat.

 

If you were Henry Blanco, how bad would you feel?

 

Like I had the sweetest mullet in the bigs.

[Rob]

That's surprising. I just assumed Z would purposefully screw up the bunts to give himself a chance to swing away.

LET HIM SWING.

 

It's more because you don't wanna use your backup catcher....who am I kidding? Blanco sucks and Z is a better hitter.

[TruffleShuffle]

Z will forever be my all-time favorite Cub if he comes through here.

 

depends what you meant by "come through"

[DiamondMind]

theriot... :(

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Crap. Theriot with a weakass grounder.

[TruffleShuffle]

insert snarky comment about grit.

[weis21]

Here you go soriano, make buster eat his words!

[Rob]

Walking Soriano the way he's been playing?

 

Make em pay, Felix.

[inari]

I hate having to rely on Ryan Theriot for anything significant.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

No respect for Pie.

[ChiCubsFan]

Theriot is so useless at the dish.

 

I really hope Pie can come through here. More for his confidence than for the sake of the Cubs winning.

[weis21]

Here you go soriano, make buster eat his words!

or not. go pie!

grit-tastic

I lolled at that

[weis21]

I think my mlb.tv delay is pretty significant tonight. I'll try to shut up.

[Outshined_One]

This just in: Dae-Eun Rhee is awesome.

 

5 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 7/0 K/BB so far.

felix can become my favorite type of pie

[ChiCubsFan]

ugh. come on, felix.

[WilcoFan]

As long as Cedeno keeps starting and getting the majority of at bats, I can live with Ryan Theriot in this situation. And as long as he keeps failing in this situation, Cedeno should continue to start. A bit of a catch-22 I guess.

[Omar]

Who is available in the pen?

[weis21]

pie(rre)'d it

[Mizzou]

Felix Pie freaking sucks.
