Good job Hank.

[Mizzou]

There you go Hank.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco, pinch hitting for Marmol, sacrificed, 1-4, Fukudome to second

[Andy]

Now the Soriano IBB to effectively make the bunt pointless.

[Garwilly]

Lefty pitching so MLB rules prohibit us from sending a lefty batter up.

 

Wait, they don't? We're allowed to hit superior hitters if we want? Someone alert Trammell!

 

We need one run.

 

A sac bunt.

 

He is just as apt as Ward and Edmonds

[weis21]

I don't really agree with the bunt, but if it HAD to be Hank at least it was a good bunt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 28-7 when they execute a sac bunt.... 32-36 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Come on Fonzie.

[Sammy Sofa]

Soriano is gonna do this.

I'd IBB him and Theriot to get to Lee for the guaranteed GIDP.

Except there is a runner on second

if the ball bananas around the plate its not a strike.

dude is generous on those sliders for strikes.

With the way he's been swinging lately, I'd be surprised if they walked him.

[Mizzou]

Not really.

 

They bunted him over to have him in scoring position period. Not to have him in scoring position for Soriano.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miller in to pitch for FLorida

I love having to watch WGN games using a no video Gmaeday boxscore from MLB.com because I'm home for a few days and my parents cable is lossing the channel signals and it can't be fixed till Monday. Of 120 or so channels 10 are coming in up until the 3rd innings WGN was one of them but then it just blipped out. Oh happy day I got to miss Lou blowing up and an extra inning game.

Bananas?

 

Wha?

But a bunt prevents a possible DP that Hank might've grounded into.

Henry Blanco is a better hitter against left-handers than either Ward or Edmonds. He was the best hitter in that situation.

 

Of course, if the Cubs were going to bunt, I would have put Z up in that situation. He's a little more used to bunting, and if the 3rd baseman came way in on him, then you could tell him that he could slap the ball past him.

[BCVM22]

Ugly swing.

[UMFan83]

C'mon Soriano. Please stop the sucking
