5/17 - Pirates (Duke) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 12:05PM CSN & 720

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino struck out swinging

[TysonCBulls423]

I'm still hopeful about this one. I can just see a big spot coming up for the new guy and he delivers. We'll see.

[Keener98]

Im going out on a huge limb here and saying we win this game, and Jim Edmonds has a big part in the win....

[CubColtPacer]

I guess the Cubs offense had enough

 

Nah, just in the wrong part of the order for today in that last inning. The 3-4-5 hitters are a combined 0-9. The other 5 position players are 8-11 with a BB.

[Careless]

Wuertz is ready to be our #2 non-closer reliever

woahhhhh

Would a big part be considered him not entering the game and thus hurting us?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bixler bunted out to the pitcher

[laurens]

Mike's doing pretty decent so far

Cubs had best not even THINK about letting Zach Duke best them on the day. Let's get some runs.

[Schwarber Fan]

My Soto senses are tingling

When they bring in a right-handed reliever and Reed Johnson is up in a key situation, who do you want?

 

I guess maybe Fontenot.

[laurens]

Soto agrees.

Your linescore is off. The Pirates should have 1 more run in there somewhere.

[Keener98]

DLee meter: .297

 

 

Lol maybe you should start a "Get Lee off this team" thread.

 

Hell no. I know he'll get hot. I'm 100% on DLee's side. I'm just point out how bad his slump has gotten. It's been like 3 years since the last time DLee's avg was below .300 this late in the season.

 

 

Hey it worked for Sori

Fred not to nit pick but by the box score the game should be tied.

 

BTW, Your doing a great job on the pbp. I have to follow the game here.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Passed ball that led to a run, bad slide leading to a key out and now a chase in the dirt.

 

Bad day for Soto.

[Fred Hornkohl]

OK. Got the line score fixed. Thanx guys.

[Careless]

Duke's over 100 and the Cubs can no longer do anything against him

[erik316wttn]

DeRo K's.

 

Not happening today, I don't think. They were bound to beat us sooner or later.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Reed Johnson needs to strike out here and look bad doing it, thus convincing the Pirates to try to squeeze the seventh out of Duke.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto struck out swinging

DeRosa called out on strikes

[erik316wttn]

Johson pops out foul. Inning over.
