Re: 5/5 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Dusty Baker's Reds (Cueto)

[splintersag]

Oh dear, Chad Fox is in.

[C.C.]

Fox? God our manager is bad.

 

You'd think Marmol, but the score is too close for him to come out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fox in to pitch for the CUBS

[illiniguy]

I have always kinda wondered how far Phillips could hit a ball.

[CubsGM]

Strikes plz

[C.C.]

Rox up 2-0!

2-1

When you're pitching someone who's a 23rd round pick in 1992, you know you're in trouble.

[splintersag]

Rox up 2-0!

 

 

Terrific timing, lol

[C.C.]

This is going to be predictable.

[illiniguy]

Good lord Thom is a moron.

When you're pitching someone who's a 23rd round pick in 1992, you know you're in trouble.

But this is only his 9th season in the bigs!

Freel stole second base

[ctcf]

Seriously though, why is Chad Fox pitching in a non mop-up situation?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS had not allowed a stolen base in their last 9 games

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubsGM]

WOO

[Schwarber Fan]

Defensive indifference?

 

No? oh

[C.C.]

Wow! Good work fox!

[chuckywang]

Fox has exceeded my expectations there!

[splintersag]

Freel steals 2nd. He's pretty fast, so basically, a hit and it's 7-3

 

Whooops, took too long typing :)

Rally has to come this inning

[Clem Fandango]

I wish they wouldn't harp on the damn 1st pitch stat. We get it, you don't like it, why keep talking about it?

 

But then again it makes me think that they wouldn't be talking about it if Dusty wasn't the manager. Why else would it be an issue, eh?

[C.C.]

This would be a nice win here. Let's pick this game up.
