Wigginton walked

 

I'm surprised you're still awake. :D

 

Those power naps are great !!! :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Byrdak in to pitch for Houston

[Irrelevant Dude]

They came back from commercial showing the ump calling for the tarp in the 5th and I thought it was live. I was gonna be real pissed.

Me too. That was cruel.

[UMFan83]

Why is Fontenot in against a lefty?

[Balsa]

Just hit Palatine on it's way east....

[javy knows my name]

There's still thunder and lightning here in Des Plaines.

Pouring here in Mt. Prospect

yeah, I thought the same thing!

[SouthSideRyan]

I've always kind of wanted to be at one of these games.

 

Me too. None of these fans will ever have a better chance of snagging a foul ball.

 

I was at one in '06 when it pretty much rained all game. I wore a bag on my head that said fire Dusty. A month later he was. You're all welcome.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot flied out to center field

[NonProfitCow]

Unreal crowd!! It's as loud as if there were still 41 thousand there. We are winning this game!

They're having fun, but don't go overboard.

I used to like to watch Byrdak pitch for our Independent League team, the JackHammers.

[Andy]

Ward swings at absolutely everything.

[17 Seconds]

Ward continuing in his quest to not take a pitch for an entire 9 inning game

[UMFan83]

Fontenot vs. LHP: .588 OPS Career

Ward vs. LHP: .672 OPS Career

 

We just wasted 2 of our remaining 12 outs.

[CubsBears29]

Joined the party late and didn't see any previews for the game tonight... Lee just get the night off, or something else?

[rynefan]

Ward, aka, "Mr. Selective"

[UMFan83]

That, the 10th pitch of the night to Ward was the first that he didn't swing at

Saw Maddux' 3,000th k game and it was rainy and cold the whole night. AWESOME

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ward struck out swinging

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ward looks horrible.

[Outshined_One]

I'm guessing this game gets called within the next 10 minutes. Lightning in the area is never a good sign.

[17 Seconds]

I'm almost on the "get rid of Ward and bring up Hoffpauir" bandwagon
