6/28 Cubs (Gallagher) @ WhiteSox (Vasquez) 2:55 CT Fox

[BigSlick]

ouch

 

This Thornton guy being used this early is good though because Ward is guaranteed at least one more at bat

[UMFan83]

Did everyone forget Aramis is batting 5th?

 

Nope, just me :)

[Flames24Rulz]

Joe Borchard...there's a name I haven't heard from in a while.

[CubColtPacer]

These next 2 ABs will show us why we desperately need a RH power threat off the bench. And no Matt Murton definitely doesn't count

 

It's Ward, Ramirez, then Edmonds. And you wouldn't pinch-hit for Ward or Edmonds here either. They'll be needed later in the game when the Sox have run out of these matchup left-handers.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ward struck out swinging

[CubsGM]

Yep.

[BigSlick]

Yeah seriously this might be a big mistake by Ozzie

[CubsGM]

Why don't we get this call? WOW

[TruffleShuffle]

lol they got this guy for joe borchard? another banner moment in the wonderful tenure of bill bavasi.

[inari]

Are we going to get any runs the rest of the game?

[illiniguy]

Yeah seriously this might be a big mistake by Ozzie

Maybe he is playing the chance that the game gets rainy soon.

[Flames24Rulz]

Jeez.

[CubsGM]

Awesome!

[Schwarber Fan]

Of course now we're getting the disadvantage of the sun line b/n the mound and the plate

[BCVM22]

Another Aramaball right at 'em.

[Roast]

Jesus, seriously?

 

He keeps lining them right to people. Also, that camera angle for outfield flies/liners is HORRIBLE

[SouthSideRyan]

Joe Borchard...there's a name I haven't heard from in a while.

 

Kenny Williams has made some really good acquisitions for little to nothing(Ramirez's salary, Thornton, his pen in '05, Pierzynski's first contract, Uribe before he sucked, Quentin was a steal.

[TMan92]

Though A-Ram hit it harder than that.

[UMFan83]

Blah. The bullpen is pretty good.

 

Funny how the worst 2 bullpens in baseball last year (Rays and White Sox) are now among the best. Shows you what a crapshoot the pen is.

[Schwarber Fan]

Please tell me Gallagher's done

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Aramis is 0 for the Cell this series. :banghead:

Oh and Contreras.

[TMan92]

Our bullpen needs to have a good game. Has not happened much lately.

Why relief pitching is a complete waste of money.
