We should have scored like 2 runs that inning.

[Banedon]

That was just a bad luck inning right there.

Who in the blue hell is Jody Gerut

 

Well we know how long you've been following the Cubs

[ChiCubsFan]

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.

 

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.

 

It is and it was an option.

 

OMG. Are you serious? Have you watched RJ get start after start the past month and a half and Lix get 5 ABs per week? Seriously...come on.

 

And that was somehow forced upon the Cubs by the league?

 

No! That's Lou being stupid. We agree on that. I don't, and i don't believe Sulley or anyone, wants Edmonds over Pie. Now listen closely. The reality is that Pie is not getting an opportunity to play consistently right now. So I feel that I'd rather take my chances with Edmonds hitting RHP than Reed Johnson. Furthermore, I'd rather have Pie getting consistent PT at Iowa than him ride the bench here. So everyone should get over their trivial hatred for Edmonds and cheer for him to do well so that the team does well.

Blanco hits his line drive for the week and is robbed in center by Jody Gerut. Edmonds plays that on a hop, Johnson misplays it into a triple and Pie catches it at a job.

 

 

hahahahaha

[UMFan83]

A double and 2 singles. Total runs scored: 0

[Laura]

cubs get all the breaks

[shnsajax]

Blanco looks like a gremlin on gamecast.

[17 Seconds]

Eff you Jody Gerut. Stop acting like you're good at baseball. I've grown weary of this charade.

For everyone except Henry Blanco.

[JGalt73]

Jeff Kent HR 2-0 Dodgers in the 7th, man on 3rd still only 1 out.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nah, Edmonds catches that because he plays ludicrously shallow.

I see a line drive coming at me and cower, covering my face with my glove.

I know who that scrub is..Just funny The bum is hitting HR's off Z and making diving catches

[Careless]

In his "defense" he's only hitting about .190

[17 Seconds]

Sheets falling apart in the 7th. 3-0 in the 7th, LA still batting.
