Fukusingle. He's back

 

Starting with the game against Houston on July 20, Kosuke has a line of .317/.429/.537/.966. That's before the single today.

Tom Morello did the stretch today? Nice. Is he a Cubs fan?

[TruffleShuffle]

Out of curiosity, why is Kosuke in a virtual platoon? Do think Lou is only giving him starts vs. RHP in order to get his bat going again, or is this something that he's going to be doing the rest of the year? $12 million for a platoon player seems stupid.

 

.739 OPS vs lhp. if the cubs can get better production against lefties with him on the bench, it would be stupid to keep him in the lineup just because of how much he gets paid, come on dude.

 

i liked the rapist quote better :cry:

Yeah and who are they replace him with in the lineup? Ronny Cedeno and his .689 OPS vs. LHP

I would call it more of frequent days off rather than a platoon. Lou thought that Fukudome was wearing down a little bit. Fukudome is still starting against about half the left-handers.

He wears a Cubs hat during performances

 

Heck he wears it IN guitar hero the video game, of course he is

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 55-2 when they lead at the end of 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Claims to have been one since age 4.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

[Schwarber Fan]

5-4 by the end of the inning or 5-5?

 

Possible 6-5 Pirates?

[Outshined_One]

Len and Bob sounded like Chris Farley when he was doing the Michael Jordan interview.

[BigSlick]

Why do we keep stomping Howry out there?

he even has a cubs hat on in his wikipedia page, that's all the proof you need.

[Fred Hornkohl]

J Wilson singled to center field

Stop hacking you idiots

 

First off, the Brewers series was all of a day and a half ago.

 

Second, they drew 7 walks yesterday.

 

Their approach today certainly isn't what I would call horrible, and has gotten good results.

 

I don't see where the problem is in their approach. They didn't hit the ball well yesterday, but that's a completely different argument.

[Schwarber Fan]

Here we go

5-1. Maybe 5-2.

He's a huge one.

[PrimeTime]

Is Howry just to blind or stupid to realize if he mixes in off-speed stuff he will get the hitters off balance ad possibly get more K's if he didnt throw his damn straight fastball for every pitch?

[CubInOK]

I feel like listening to some RATM now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

McLouth struck out swinging

[98navigator]

C'mon Bob, get it together.

 

 

Nice K
