5/2 Cubs (Hill) @ Cardinals (Wainwright) 7:15 PM CDT WGN/720

[CubsGM]

I was right

[bukie]

WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED

 

Another routine fly to left, deep but Soriano was right under it. He hopped and missed it, it bounced into the stands.

[CubColtPacer]

why the crap isn't Ronny in there

 

I think Lou wants Howry to go multiple innings, and that's why Fontenot had to come in. Of course it's going to be hard to do that if the defense behind Howry makes him throw a ton of pitches in inning #1.

 

That still makes no sense because Ronny hit in the pitcher's spot right in front of Soriano who made the last out.

 

Right, so that's where you have to stick the pitcher. The only spots open are the #4 spot and the #9 spot. The #4 spot is due up 3rd in the next inning, while the #9 spot is a ways away, so that's why Howry was put in the 9 spot, and then Fontenot was inserted at 4.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to see Soriano go back on the DL tomorrow.

[NYF]

i love Howry and Sori. they rawk...

[Careless]

When was the last time a Cubs outfielder has an inning this bad? ever?

[Little Slide Rooter]

and of course Izturis is going to put this one out of reach.

[bhogg]

Soriano would look better at second than he does in left.

 

 

He sure as hell can't field and he's certainly won't hit his way to second.

[Andy]

Thanks for calling the offices of Howry and Soriano, how would you like us to blow your game?

Don't even lump Howry in. Howry hasn't done a damned thing. He's gotten five freaking outs so far.

[bukie]

Yeah, this is totally Howry's fault for allowing balls to be hit in play.

How has Howry blown it. I'd be pissed if I was him.

[WTFCUBS]

Thanks blue.

It was rhetorical. It was either that or several filter-tripping words in sequence.

[NotSoSober]

What exactly has Howry done to warrant this? He's pitched just fine.

[chitowngui]

why am I not allowed to drop Soriano from my yahoo fantasy team??

[bhogg]

When was the last time a Cubs outfielder has an inning this bad? ever?

 

 

Probably a combination of Candy Maldanado and / or Kal Daniels.

[illiniguy]

I am betting if he keeps this playing up at home, the old no trade clause thing won't be a problem.

[Brian]

"Make him hit it somewhere other than left"

 

6 should be outs, 0 real hits, 0 walks, 1 run

[Andy]

Howry gets six outs. Applause.

 

Soriano, get the hell off this team right now. I'm not even kidding. Retire.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Haaa!! That pitch to Izturis was not a strike---ump must feel sorry for Howry after the horrendous defenssive gaffes

[JimSorgi]

and of course Izturis is going to put this one out of reach.

 

maaan I hope so
