6/6 Cubs (Gallagher) @ Dodgers (Kuroda) 9:40CT WGN

[Jon]

I don't want to encourage Lou hate, he frustrates me a lot, but thank god he's not Dusty Baker.

 

But seriously, the Lefty-Lefty thing is mindboggling and I wish he would explain it at some level. It makes no sense and really seems to just do the opposition a favor.

 

Yeah, Lou deserves at least some of the credit for the incredible offensive patience we're seeing this year. I'm confident that that's more important than the dumb stuff he does in-game.

 

I wouldn't mind the back-to-back lefties if Lou would pinch-hit Johnson for Edmonds when the opposing manager brings in a LOOGY, but he's demonstrated that he will not do so.

It's hard to do when you're carrying 13 pitchers. And because of that, there's really no reason to bat Edmonds in front of DeRosa.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Soriano Ks on a 1997 Sosa special. At least it took five pitches.

 

But ballgame. We are getting shut out by this horrible pitcher.

[CubsGM]

Soriano, you are awful

[InconspicuousZ28]

That pitch wasn't even close to the plate but Alf waved at it anyway. WTF.

 

Should be an interesting replay on this play with Theriot.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Grounder in the hole, Theriot thrown out when the first baseman dives but somehow keeps his foot on the bag. Lou out to argue the call.

[CubsGM]

I guess we aren't going to get calls this series

[Careless]

theriot, don't make stupid arguments ot the umpire

[Hairyducked Idiot]

lol, Brenly

 

"Wouldn't be the first time *this ump whose name I forget* has missed a call at first base...or second base, or third base, or at the plate."

 

(he actually said the name, I just can't recall it)

Sounds like Brenly has a beef with Cousins.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Glad to see that Derrek is still at the top of his game.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Derrek Lee fouls off a few, then swings at an even worse pitch than Soriano did. Didn't think that was possible.

[Careless]

how can heavyweight sumo wrestlers sit in a baseball box seat?

[CubsGM]

Derrek, you are pathetic

[NotSoSober]

Lee looked absolutely horrible that at bat. Wow

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Pierre flies out to left. Just like Brenly knew he would...

[radarluv1]

i'm going to punch my dvr in the face

[RedFlash]

I think it is safe to say, the maybe Piniella should tinker with the lineup a little. I know it's not ideal, but I'd like to see Fuku and Lee switch spots in the lineup. Lee isn't giving the Cubs anything right now as the #3, so i think to help clear his cobwebs, I think the Cubs should move him to 5th, behind ARam, and Fuku to 3rd.

[radarluv1]

kendall with rbi triple. 4-1 crew

[third eye]

Pat Hughes commenting on how the Cubs have never had a lead of 4.5 games in the central as long as he and Ron have been broadcasting together. But I'm pretty sure the opened up a 6 game lead in the first half of 2001. Anyone else remember this?

[Andy]

Edmonds makes a horrible attempt at a play in CF.

[Careless]

That was insanely bad, Edmonds.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Edmonds misplays a deep Kent drive into an RBI double.

 

A CF with good range catches that.

[InconspicuousZ28]

For all the good plays Edmonds makes out in center, that was a pretty bad one.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Edmonds almost broke himself trying to find that ball

[Yeti]

nice read jimmy
