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

[Andy]

Anyone else watching on MLB.tv see these "500 HR" commercials they are showing? I love how NONE of them have Bonds.

The 600 ones don't have him, or Sammy. The implication of what they're doing is pretty obvious.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jim Edmonds ninja-kicks down the outfield utility door as he catches that flyout.

[UMFan83]

That was the Cubs first 4-run inning since Ronny's grand slam vs. the Mets.

 

4 run inning or 4+ run inning? If the latter, we scored 5 runs and 6 runs in an inning on Monday..

[PrimeTime]

Just a remainder that the only reason we aren't still on a long win streak is because Marquis is among the worst active pitchers.

 

Also we are starting him again, thanks Lou.

 

Ya seriously..I don't get why they dont get rid of that piece of trash..Probably because hendry dosen't want to admit his mistake of signing him.

[17 Seconds]

Jody Gerut stop it.

[Outshined_One]

Was that Dempster's first baserunner allowed since the 1st?

No, 4 run inning. They always get 5.

An Edmonds HR is nice, I could get used to that. Edmonds leaving 4 of the Cubs 9 stranded runners on base . . . not so much.

Yeah I know, right. Reed Johnson would NEVER leave 4 men on base!

[jersey cubs fan]

Dempster, 69 pitches through 6, Maddux couldn't get through 5 with 62. Impressive game so far.

He might, but he would do it with GRIT!

 

 

Edit - I meant and Edmonds hit, not HR sorry!

Its like those prosecutors that find evidence that would vindicate the defendant in a trial and bury it because they don't want to look bad.

 

Ok its not that bad, but it still pisses me off

Doesn't matter. Edmonds starts with 2 strikes on him in most Cub fans minds.

How many times did Reed Johnson bat 6th?

[17 Seconds]

Cedeno wow.

[Andy]

It is unreal how good Ronny Cedeno has become.

[PrimeTime]

Ronny must have really swore off the booze and chicks this time.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I really like Ronny

[BigSlick]

These impressive at bats by Cedeno is highly encouraging

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cedeno walks.

 

I weep at how good this team might be if they weren't constantly trying to avoid playing their best players.

[Schwarber Fan]

Another GREAT AB from Ronny

[E.J.]

Ronny Cedeno laughs in the face of Lou. It doesn't matter how many days in a row Ronny doesn't get to play, he's still going to produce.

[cubbyvirus00]

Cedeno looks amazing..........why....PLEASE START HIM LOU WTF

[bukie]

Nobody told Blanco that Maddux was done pitching.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Is Dempster still perfect on sac attempts?
