7/13 - Giants (Lincecum) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20, WGN TV

[TruffleShuffle]

I feel like Dempster has Michael Wuertz syndrome. Gets a hitter down 0-2 and then nibbles his way into trouble.

 

like 90% of the league has this problem. i hate it. i'd rather see a guy pitch to contact or throw close balls on an 0-2 count than throw the classic face-high fastball or 58-foot slider that only about 3 major leaguers would ever swing at.

[Mizzou]

If Kosuke had been starting today, we'd still be scoreless.

 

That was an absolutely butcher play by DeRosa.

It really was. I just don't get why he was charging so hard on that ball. Stand still if you have to, let the ball roll to you and then toss it in to 2nd. The runner would still be on 1st base.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Hopefully, we can just make him work and get to their pen.

[bcl412]

Pirates tie it.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Two out 2-run single by Jason Bay. 4-4 now

[Coach C]

Nice. At least he's using a bat instead of his hands.

[PrimeTime]

HAHAHHA Dempster was jabbing his bat at the coolers.

Fun fact: they've all played for the Cubs in the last 5 years.

[Coach C]

:lol: at Dempster's bat that donut got stuck on it.

[Outshined_One]

Sometimes, it's just not your day.

[Little Slide Rooter]

at least the Pirates tied the Cards.

[Brian]

I really miss Soriano.

sabathia doesn't have that problem, he just eats the donut.

[PrimeTime]

Scrappy McGritt gets on

[Little Slide Rooter]

thats what he does.

[CubsGM]

Nice to see CC pose as the ball leaves the yard. Maybe this what shut up the fans complaining about Aramis.

[CubsNSkers07]

That a boy Theriot 10 game hitting streak wowzers thats good for him, but hes been playing well this year.

 

Come on Fontenot keep it goin buddy.

[TruffleShuffle]

my Theriot Shift would've had that one

[Careless]

Fontenot is 5'2", that's not a strike

[TMan92]

Wow..that was a very high strike for Fontenot.

[ctcf]

So I just learned Pat Hughes' first name is actually Virgil.

[CubsGM]

Nice Fontenot.

[CubsNSkers07]

I think I'd really appreciate a D Lee single, and an Aramatiegamebomb

[Coach C]

Ump got him on a balk.

[Brian]

holy crap a balk against an opposing pitcher! haven't seen that in a while.
