Somewhere out there Jim Rome is smiling

Soto is powerful, but also merciful.

[ELCABALLO45]

Sit down SOTO!!!

JK of course, one hell of a game for him so far...

Soto K's after the ump calls a horsecrap strike 2.

he should just lay down a bunt

[TruffleShuffle]

These threads are pretty boring when we're kicking ass and there aren't overreactions to every single pitch, swing, and defensive play.

 

OH GOD THEY'VE FIGURED SOTO OUT, NOW HE'S BACK TO STRIKING OUT EVERY AT BAT

Phillistine.

the boxing sidebar gave me a weird flashback to Z vs. Barrett

Kudos. It's good opposing-fan protocol to enter the game thread when down 10 runs. :D

[badger1679666666]

seriously, have we walked more this year than during Busty's entire run?

[mul21]

Pie doesn't have a hit tonight, but you can just tell he's seeing pitches better and has a much better approach than 2 weeks ago.

 

And there's a walk.

[Vanilla Ice]

Time for a Murtabomb

[WTFCUBS]

Red v. Red.

 

Something big is gonna happen.

[weis21]

Wow, it must REALLY be a blowout if Murton's hitting

[Brian]

Grand slam would be sexy

[badger1679666666]

Wow, it must REALLY be a blowout if Murton's hitting

 

Well I really wouldn't call it "hitting", bob.

[Vanilla Ice]

Grand slam would be sexy

not as sexy as your avatar

Soto K's after the ump calls a horsecrap strike 2.

 

Ump's got a hot date at The Avenue after the game.

[Andy]

I've never been less upset that Murton's headed back to AAA tomorrow.

Its just one of those games. Very VERY frustrating, but at the same time, nothing you can do about it. Suppan decided to throw batting practice today, and the Cubs brought the good wood. Just got to tip the cap :hello:

[manbearcub]

In honor of Koskue, I present to you my first ever Cubs Haiku

 

Fukudome rocks

Always soild at the plate

Patience reigns supreme

 

......yeah, well it's not like you can do better

Fuku-bomb will cause

Sheets to fake another hurt

Yost stares dumbfounded

Soto K's after the ump calls a horsecrap strike 2.

 

Ump's got a hot date with Erin Andrews after the game.

 

Fixed. That would make me call strikes.

[mul21]

He looked a like he had a little Corey Patterson reaction to that K. Unfortunate he's been screwed around the way he has. I think he could still be a good player, especially for a team that has a guy like Jeff Kent in the middle infield to make up for the lack of power.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Is Ricky Weeks getting pudgy or is his uni just baggy?

[Careless]

This ump really needs to act less on strikeouts
