Skip Shumaker singles. 1st and 3rd no one out. Skip Shumaker.

[Magnetic Curses]

 

On a completely unrelated matter with the lefty Schoenweis coming in to face Fontenot. I am calling Murton pinch hitting for Pie. Howry warming up in the pen.

 

i just wanted to clear up my position is all. dusty and hendry are definitely to blame for the ballclubs that they either assembled or managed while dusty was here.

[Banghart]

Can anyone suggest why Fontenot was PH there instead of Ward?

Well since Fontenot was used to sacrifice I am glad it was him and not Ward. Though a valid point about why not go to Ward with a runner on. Only thing I can guess is that it is early and the Cubs are up.

 

Reed Johnson walks to make it two on, and I was wrong Lou is oging let Pie hit against the lefty.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I don't mind Pie not being pinch-hit for here. Two-run lead, you want his defense out there, and he needs PAs.

Schumaker singles. 1st and 3rd, no outs for the Cards with Ankiel and Pujols coming up.

Skip Shumaker singles. 1st and 3rd no one out. Skip Shumaker.

Yep, and I wonder had Hendry seen more of Fukudome if he would have pursued him.

Yeah. I just can't believe the guy is hitting so well for them.

[UMFan83]

Dammit, Yost is making his ineptitude a little too obvious right now. He's going to get himself fired, and that would be horrible news for us....

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I thought Pie was out on first look, but safe on replay.

[E.J.]

Pie gets screwed again. He was safe.

[Banghart]

Pie barely out on a swinging bunt, that was awfully close. Moves everyone up 90 feet.

[illiniguy]

Ankiel K's

Pujols up 1st and 3rd 1 out.

[Guest]

Ankiel strikes out. 1st and 3rd, 1 out for Pujols.

[Andy]

DLee is due.

Stubby Clapp.

That dude is a backflipping legend here in Memphis. They love his scrappy grit... or is gritty scrap?

i think hendry has learned a bit from his past struggles. i'll give that much to him. he'll never assemble a team of guys with low k rates again and expect them to score a ton of runs, which seemed to be his philosophy in 2005 and 2006. somewhere, he realized that his job was in danger and he better stop farting around.

[erik316wttn]

DLee is due.

 

I don't know. I'm worried about his power.

[Outshined_One]

I'm so happy Lou doesn't double switch. That used to drive me nuts under Dusty.

[Butterscup1679666578]

The longer the Brewers keep going to Gagne, the less chance they'll have to stay in this division race. Which is fine with me.

[CubColtPacer]

Can anyone suggest why Fontenot was PH there instead of Ward?

 

The Cubs were probably saving Ward for a time when the Mets didn't have a left-hander ready to pitch since Ward cannot hit them.

Stubby Clapp.

 

haha, him too.

[Banghart]

Definitely DLee is due. He has gone what four abs without a hit?

[erik316wttn]

Lee flies to the wall.
