If Lee DP's I'll scream

 

He did, but the fates not not this time.

 

I was in mid-scream when Weeks threw that ball

[Hall7810]

I know people here hate grit and the notion of a hard-nose play, but that slide was awesome.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So it comes down to this: Laughable Bullpen vs. Laughable Bullpen.

[weis21]

That was a great, great slide at 2B.

I think Bob Brenly hit the nose on the head when he mentioned Reed would be a "wedgebuster" in football

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee grounded into a FC, 6-4, Johnson out at second, Cedeno & Fukudome scored on a throwing error, E4, D Lee to second

[radarluv1]

describe play plz

[cubscausestress]

their defense is flat out horrible. i've seen it screw them quite a bit this year. that's as easy a double play as it gets.

[CubInOK]

This is the kind of outing that can injure a pitcher. Even a guy like CC.

 

How many pitches is he up to?

Leaves at 129.

[Soul]

Reed Johnson may not be a great baseball player, but he finds ways to contribute.

 

Lee needs to give him half his paycheck for the week.

[Guest]

Explanation for what happened?

[Andy]

Reed Johnson is the FREAKING man. Walk and the DP breakup. Hell of a job.

[inari]

There better be someone warming up besides Howry.

[bcl412]

I know people here hate grit and the notion of a hard-nose play, but that slide was awesome.

 

I think people hate it because it is sometimes the only thing that people use to justify a bad player.

How many pitches is he up to?

 

129 according to gameday, but during the last half of this inning, CC's mechanics were breaking down a bit and he was clearly overthrowing.

[erik316wttn]

There may just be a God afterall

 

Don't say that.

 

He'll wait to drop the hammer on us at the time where it'll hurt the most. It's just what he does.

 

But still, great slide, Reed.

 

I hate to use the term, but it applies here: That's something the boxscore won't tell you.

[weatherdood]

Explanation for what happened?

 

Tailor made DP, but Weeks throw was 10 feet wide and into the dugout -- 2 runs score

[Soul]

Explanation for what happened?

 

Lee hits into a sure DP, but Reed Johnson with a brilliant slide right into Weeks causing an errant throw and 2 runs score.

[TMan92]

Back to D-Lee.....How can the guy roll over everything in big moments.

[cubscausestress]

We'll get 2 this inning.

I hate to pimp myself like this, but...

 

(I hate it when ppl quote their own predictions, but only when they predict something bad for the cubs)

[bcl412]

Remember June 29th,2007 please ARam

[weatherdood]

Back to D-Lee.....How can the guy roll over everything in big moments.

 

It is highly disconcerting to say the least.

Ned Yost is awesome.

[Fred Hornkohl]
