[OleMissCub]

Rays announcer: "very scrappy at bat for Theriot."

 

haha

[Sosa21MVP]

that was flukey as hell

 

THE POWER OF GRIT! :lol:

[Roast]

I've never been cheering a pitch count as much as I have tonight.

 

Every pitch makes me happier.

Same here

[Ski]

RBI Lee plz.

[Schwarber Fan]

LLF, don't be stealing my stuff

 

I hope it works

[aeaasie]

100 Plus pitches in the 5th inning - I'll take it

 

Lets get some runs now

[UMFan83]

Stop swinging at high fastball cmon

[Ski]

Lay off that...

[UMFan83]

KC 0-0 Stl End 2

[Roast]

I love full counts.

[Careless]

description plz

soft grounder (easy for the 2b) that the 1b makes a diving play for. it bounces off of his glove, going over the 2b's head and grazing his throwing hand, allowing 2 base advancement for the runners

 

edit: ok, not that soft

I'm loving this AB regardless of the outcome.

[UMFan83]

This is why the 2008 Cubs are much better than every team I've seen in my lifetime. They have an amazingly dominant pitcher going against them and looking good, and instead of panicing and being agressive, they take advantage of his wildness, work the count, scratch across a (fluke) run, and drive him out after 5 innings. Amazing.

Theriot grounded between 1st and 2nd. The 1b dove and deflected the ball over the 2b's head for an RBI single.

[Roast]

WALK!

[TysonCBulls423]

YES! COME ON RAMMY. HIT BALLFOUR

[C.C.]

This might be Kaz last inning he's at 110 pitches.

[Roast]

He's Done!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bases juiced for Ramirez...

 

and Kazmir is done.

[Careless]

I'd say we have a pretty good shot now

[Ski]

Too bad we suck with RISP/2 outs :wink:

[hawkeyecub]

110 pitches and we knocked Kazmir out in the 5th despite scoring only 1 run on 3 hits.

 

Man I love this team's approach.

[UMFan83]

Lee is walking again, which is awesome.

 

Kazmir done! Honestly, at this point I wouldn't have minded him staying in. He probably would have walked Rammy.

[C.C.]

Fantastic game plan for the Cubs tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

Too bad Aramis hasn't hit a grand slam since last season
