6/12 Braves (Hudson) @ Cubs (Zambrano), 1:20 WGN & WGN720

[justlikethecubs]

calling up Patterson was borderline insane. leading him off and playing him in LF is asinine

 

Having him not bunt with 2 on and no out.. Dusty Bakerish

 

You don't know Dusty Baker.

 

Not meaning dusty would have done that, just it was as stupid as what he does. In that situation, a succesful sac at least gets us to Lee with a runner or runners on. Letting Epat hit against a sinker ball pitcher is inviting a double play.

[CubsGM]

I missed the first couple innings, so how has Z looked? The line doesn't look good.

One bad pitch basically. Well who knows we didn't see it.

[Ski]

That pitch was simply smashing.

[cheapseats]

I already miss Soriano. At least he would've struck out with no chance at a DP.

 

I haven't looked at his groundball rate this year, but historically he hits very few groundballs and thus doesn't often ground into double plays.

 

Yeah, just checked and only Ryan Ludwick and Khalil Greene have hit groundballs less often than Soriano this year.

[BigSlick]

I was joking last time but not this time, get some runs you idiots

[BleacherBadger]

my grandad is dead and he's still more entertaining than this old bag of bones

 

Old people are useless.

 

GO BACK TO BLEEDING MY SOCIAL SECURITY DRY, MERVIN

 

My coworkers just asked what I was laughing about

[TruffleShuffle]

if it was 1948, i'm pretty sure that the guest would have been dead like 20 years earlier.

[Derwood]

I shouldn't read this thread while drinking coffee. i've nearly spewed coffee all over my laptop a few times already

[BleacherBadger]

That pitch was simply smashing.

 

1960s, getting closer?

[inari]

I just glanced through the game thread to see what all the comments were about... oh my God. This is the best game thread ever.

[E.J.]

Who was that crotchety old man in the booth last half-inning?

 

"You people"

 

I loved that.

[haubrich91]

Score plz.

[Ski]

Nascar had better not win that poll, or even come close.

[TruffleShuffle]

yeah bikini is gonna win that poll by like 95%.

[Derwood]

this is the worst strike zone ever

[Careless]

:lol: wow, the juxtaposition of that woman and the guy behind her...

[BigSlick]

we're never going to score again

[TruffleShuffle]

the bat kids should be required to do the awkward 10 seconds of waving at the camera... it's just not the same without that.

[soapy]

Eric

2005: .325/.400/.517 between A and AA

2006: .276/.339/.419 between AA and AAA

2007: .297/.362/.455 in AAA

2008: .326/.361/.514 in AAA

 

Corey

1999: .320/.354/.592 in A

2000: .261/.329/.491 in AA

2001: .253/.308/.387 in AAA

 

They are not the same player, production-wise as they progressed. Corey was younger at each level though.

[inari]

Lawl, it's gonna be one of those days.

[Andy]

Ludwick is too busy emerging as the greatest player of all time to do silly things like hit ground balls.

[USSoccer]

I loved that.

 

Did he leave the booth and go back to counting his dolla billz that I'm working for as we speak?

[Handlebar McSkullet]

Applesauce!!!!
