Did eyre really not throw any pitches?

[BCVM22]

A run would be nice.

[Guest]

Don't worry guys, we've got Derrek Lee coming up third this inning and I guarantee he's going to homer.

 

Oh wait...

[Yeti]

First and second and nobody out against John flipping Grabow. Thanks again Woody.

 

Thank the offense for blowing that one. They've had plenty of opportunities throughout the game and squandered them.

 

Sorry. When your closer comes in with a save opportunity and again hits the leadoff man and gives up a run to the bottom of the order.....it is on him.

 

It's also on the offense for not driving anyone in when you draw two straight walks without any outs. It's on Soriano for getting picked off 2nd. It's on DeRosa for striking out with the bases loaded. It's on Marquis for continuing to pitch down to his numbers.

 

This one isn't just on Wood.

QFT, if the Cubs lose this game, it was a complete team breakdown for the loss

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded out to short, 6-3

[Vanilla Ice]

Soriano would have made it healthy

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

How does Soriano not beat that out...come on!

[CubsGM]

Soriano gain your confidence back you gimp.

[BigSlick]

Healthy Soriano probably legs that one out

[OleMissCub]

Don't worry guys, we've got Derrek Lee coming up third this inning and I guarantee he's going to homer.

 

Oh wait...

 

:-(

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[BCVM22]

Wuertz is going to homer and save us.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Healthy Soriano probably legs that one out

 

 

But he's physically fine...it's just mental with him. #-o

[BCVM22]

Wuertz is going to homer and save us.

 

Or not.

[Outshined_One]

Did he seriously just try to bunt for a hit?

 

:lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

What a great half-inning that was.

[17 Seconds]

There can't possibly be a worse extra inning manager than Lou Piniella. Brutal.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ump just wants to go home I see.

 

Prediction: Luis Rivas is going to HR and NSBB is going to explode.

[TMan92]

McLouth up third in the inning to allow us all to go to sleep.

[splintersag]

Nice at bat Wuertz.....He just kinda looked at that, waiting for the bottom of the inning.

[Yeti]

dammit, if this doesnt end soon, i'm gonna run outta beer!!!!!

[haubrich91]

Yeah, so Ted Lilly better go all 9 tomorrow. Unless we go into extras again...

[BigSlick]

McLouth up third in the inning to allow us all to go to sleep.

You go to sleep at 10?

 

Yeah i guess I'm on a weird schedule as a college student typically, but its not that late yet

[Vanilla Ice]

Somebody said that Ascanio pitched three innings yesterday.

 

It was only 1

 

He should be able to go at least 2 today.
