That's just like sending him :)

 

He coulda stolen second and WPed to third!

 

Of course beggars can't be choosers.

[Mizzou]

Well, at least DLee will have the chance to bat with a runner on as opposed to him leading off the 9th.

[salukifudd]

I'm also a Murton fan and Ward should have been hitting there. He's the big money on the bench. He's paid to come up late with the game on the line, whether a LH or RH is on the mound. Now, he won't get to hit for any of the next 7 batters at least. Lou has overcoached tonight.

 

Agreed on all points.

[illiniguy]

What the hell has happened to Murton? Where is his patience at?

 

 

He worked a full count before striking out. Patience wasn't the problem there.

Besides swinging at ball 4 twice. Yeah, you are right.

 

 

So, in an 8 pitch AB, he swings at one ball. Patience wasn't the problem.

The first pitch he offered at wasn't a strike either. Plus his hacks are very late. I don't know if he is not picking the ball up or what.

[Andy]

Damn. Reed gave it a good effort.

[AFCubsFan]

Quality AB from Johnson, just not the greatest result. Cubs will have the heart of the order in the 9th. Let's get some runs!!! :)

[Allroy]

@#$%^()

 

You must have the mature version keyboard.

[Mizzou]

Damn. Reed gave it a good effort.

Always does.

[illiniguy]

Will Lou ph Ward for Theriot by chance?

[apete6]

2 fake rallys in a row, can a 3rd be far behind?

[CubsNSkers07]

At least we got the heart of the lineup minus theriot coming up in the 9th, now just don't give up any runs COBS!

[Roast]

SO......I....am not as confident as I was before.

It almost squirted through. Bah.

[Andy]

Will Lou ph Ward for Theriot by chance?

He should, I think he will.

Will Lou ph Ward for Theriot by chance?

 

My guess would be Fontenot.

[cubscausestress]

the cubs will need to get 2 to tie next inning.

Will Lou ph Ward for Theriot by chance?

 

My guess would be Fontenot.

God, why?

with howry in, there wont be a need for a rally. it'll be 11-4 here in a minute

[weatherdood]

My guess would be Fontenot.

God, why?

 

Strictly a hunch, nothing more.

[illiniguy]

How good is Corpas?

[Butterscup1679666578]

hold em down Howry *holds breath*

[Mizzou]

Will Lou ph Ward for Theriot by chance?

 

My guess would be Fontenot.

Yeah, you gotta save Ward for when a runner's on. Just like how you had to save Zambrano for Game 4 last year. Oh... wait a second...

[illiniguy]

That was clearly strike 3.

[Rob]

You have to figure Lou will PH Ward for Theriot, with Fontenot coming in to run if he gets on.
