8-1 Cubs keep it rolling at home 1:20 CSN

Come on. Get the ground ball and wipe him out.

 

 

Ask and I shall recieve, I guess....

 

"Threesome with Erin Andrews and Rachel Nichols....."

 

:beg:

 

Too late. Everybody gets one, and you used yours on the first inning of a Cubs-Pirates game in an already-decided division :)

 

Hope it was worth it.

 

Was that McClouth ball at the track or just before it? Pat made it sound kinda close

I believe Edmonds was just on the track.

Dusty would be so mad at Fuku

Here's come the DP.

Damn base clogger.

Good call.

[Careless]

looooove those hit and runs

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And Fukudome continues to defy the myth of fundamentally sound Japanese players.

Good call.

but not a GIDP

[BleacherBadger]

New way for Lee to get DPs

 

Line out to right, Fuku doubled off due to stealing 2nd

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

That sucked.

You're really criticizing him for that play?

 

EDIT: Nevermind.

It was a hit and run, withdrawn.

...a big one

I'll give you that last play (although it was a hard hit ball and the OF got rid of it quickly), but what else? He's shown a lack of hustle a few times, but not any lack of fundamentals imo.

DLee really doesn't drive the ball much the otherway anymore. Seems like balls he used to drive the otherway are now routine balls hit to the rightfielder.

CHASING HISTORY!

He's missed several cutoff men, and I consider hustle a fundamental.

pretty sure the stat is grounding into dps.

I've noticed this as well. He's hit a lot of balls to right field that seem like they are going to carry, but alas, fall about 20 feet in front of the track.

I hate the LaRoche's as much as I hate Russel Branyon and Xavier Nady

Does that really count as a GIDP? It was a DP, yes, but it wasn't grounded, and was only a DP because of a managerial call and a possible baserunning gaffe.

I hate Marquis more than all of them.

Signs you might be playing too much world of warcraft:

 

If you read that and wondered what Derrek Lee's damage per second is.

[C.C.]

Another DP? Please.
