5/15 - Fathers (Maddux) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20PM CSN & 720

[Schwarber Fan]

Edmonds up 3rd, get your DVRs ready

[Magnetic Curses]

no, meatheads are jocks witout brains. meatballs are fans without brains.

Please admit you made this up

 

i don't think i did, but i could be wrong.

 

When I think of meatball I think of ATHF. I see some similarities.

 

no, that's meatwad.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

so, pie is going to get more screwed up playing everyday at iowa than by sitting everyday in chicago?

 

If the only other option was that he had to sit everyday in Chicago, you'd have a point. But that was not the situation. He didn't have to sit in Chicago. The right choice was to play him. The wrong one was to bench him for Reed Johnson. Making another mistake to cover up that mistake is just plain stupid.

 

I keep saying it, and it keeps being true. It's Classic Cub (and Classic Cub Fan) to say that they were forced into a bad decision by the previous bad decision they had already made.

[erik316wttn]

 

No, I'd rather him play every day. But if he puts up number like he did last time, he didn't really learn much, did he? At best it's stunting or delaying his development. At worst it screws him up.

 

i'm not getting your point then. you pretty much said starting him everyday at iowa was screwing him up more than sitting with the cubs.

 

He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants Pie up here and playing (like most of us).

 

oh, okay. but then his point has nothing to do with edmonds.

 

It kinda does. Edmonds made sure there was no way Pie would see any PT at all. Edmonds is probably the starter now, at worst a platoon with Johnson. Edmonds being here means Pie wouldn't have seen any playing time at ALL (not like he was seeing much anyway) because we all know about Lou's infatuation with Johnson.

Someone needs to put his name being announced on video so I can watch it. I wanna hear how loud the boos are.

[UMFan83]

A certain player on the New York Mets is 3 innings away from something special. *hint hint*

Seconded...

but then the edmonds signing is moot. pie wasn't going to play anyway so the edmonds signing isn't risking "screwing him up even more".

20 pitches combined through 1 1/2

 

both teams are asking for a do-over

[Andy]

Sets up nicely for Edmonds to get an RBI in his Cubs debut

[bcl412]

Ramriez with an opposite field double down the line. I like it

Correct. I wasn't saying that was his exact name, I was saying when I think of meatballs I think of ATHF.

[jersey cubs fan]

Ramirez doubled up Maddux's pitch count, to 8.

But that has NOTHING to do with Edmonds, which is what they were arguing about. I think even Sulley would agree that the number 1 option would be Pie in the majors playing everyday. However, that doesn't appear to be an option at this point.

[bcruise]

Hmm, Jimmy could get an RBI chance this inning...

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Fukudome gets every borderline call, it seems. Love the respect.

yahoo has this on their game notes:

 

 

Game Notes

 

NEW YORK PITCHER MIKE PELFREY HAS A NO-HITTER THROUGH SIX INNINGS.

 

 

I don't think yahoo believes in superstitions

It is not moot. The fact that you've been dying to get him on the Cubs for 2 years must be clouding your ability to reason.

[erik316wttn]

I gotta get back to work, all. Get us a win!

 

Later

 

STOP CHEERING EDMONDS, FANS AT WRIGLEY!

[E.J.]

Nice work by Fukudome to move Ramirez to 3rd. Come on Jimmy!

[Flames24Rulz]

Hardly any boos for Edmonds.

[Outshined_One]

Wow, I was expecting anarchy.

 

90% cheers.

Sulley, I would just stop now. These people can't see through their hatred for Edmonds. He's so gay and wears makeup and dives at balls unnecessarily LOLOL.

[Andy]

Semi mixed reaction.

[da bears]

Alright, so how loud was the booing? Jeff Gordon singing the stretch loud?
