5/3 Cubs (Lilly) @ Cardinals (Lohse) 2:45pm CDT, FOX/WGN 720

[Little Slide Rooter]

It's a proven fact that Japanese born baseball players can only be compared to other Japanese born baseball players.

Fuku reminds me of Hideki Irabu.

 

They all pattern themselves off the guy from Major League 2.

I agree that it does seem silly most of the time when they compare him to Ichiro or something, but to not see the similarity between his swing and Hideki's is crazy.

[illiniguy]

:roll: Nice play Troy. Anytime you wanna wake up is fine by me.

[Soul]

Just gotta tip your cap.

 

I'll take your cap, stomp on it, tear it into about 50 pieces, and then burn it.

[17 Seconds]

Seriously....Troy [expletive] Glaus

[Soul]

Glaus is not close to this good. Ridiculous.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting. It's just that it seems EVERY non-cubs telecast I watch compares him to some other Japanese guy.

Ladies and Gentleman, your 2008 NL 3rd base Gold Glover - Troy Glaus

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bases juiced for Fontenot.

[El Ridda]

Puerto Rico grows catchers like western PA grows QB's...

[weis21]

3 doubles in the inning! Thats the Cubs I like to see. Not the ones from yeasterday and probaby tomorrow.

Thank God that before I start enjoying myself during a Cubs game, you are there to bring me back to earth. :wink:

I dare you to go yard again, Fontenot.

[wvcbxl]

Same again please, Mike.

[Vanilla Ice]

hell ground out 4-3

[illiniguy]

Take two mike.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

And he walks in an Allstate insurance run.

[17 Seconds]

Yay the patient Cubs are back.

[CubInOK]

I dare you to go yard again, Fontenot.

 

All I want is Fontenot on base.

 

And as I type, he walks in a run.

[Brian]

yay!. Let's get a couple more and let Gallagher finish it out.

[genbar]

Whatever, that's cool too!

Just watch, tomorrow night Joe Morgan will probably reference that Fukudome's taste in women is similar to Hideo Nomo.

[wvcbxl]

Same again please, Mike.

 

I meant the HR, not the walk.

[TruffleShuffle]

you can't walk across home plate... what does d-lee think he's doing

[weis21]

"There are guys that choke up on the bat...and then there's Reed Johnson" Yep Joe, he more or less has wrapped his hands around the barrel.

[Outshined_One]

Why oh why couldn't have Tim McCarver been the one to make bad jokes about Lou Piniella stealing his wallet?
