8/5 Other games

Juan Uribe just made the no. 1 webgem today. Wow.

[Mizzou]

Looks like we won't be gaining any ground today.

That's not a problem for the Cubs. They aren't the ones who have to gain ground.

I want as big a lead as possible, but Mizzou's right. All we can control is winning, and that's all we need to do.

[Choonch]

Why is Plesac working the booth in the White Sox game? :-k

Yes, but that's not likely for the rest of the year. A bigger cushion to soften a losing streak would be nice.

Dodgers are down three with the bases loaded and one out in the 9th. Loney is up for them.

I wanted Manny to hit one out. He ended up walking.

[Guest]

Loney dribbles one 45 feet up the first base line, Isringhausen can't handle it and everyone's safe. 4-2 StL.

[bcl412]

Infield single. Bases loaded 4-2 for Jeff Kent.

[Guest]

Kent RBI single. Only 1 run scores.

 

4-3 StL.

[TysonCBulls423]

BFIB booing.

[Soul]

Izzy pulled. Franklin coming in.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This is what would happen if Lou insisted that Howry be the closer.

 

Kent singles in a run, 4-3 with 1 out, Franklin coming on with Blake up.

[Guest]

Isringhausen out, Franklin in.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Izzy is getting yanked for Franklin.

 

Bases juiced with one out, top of the ninth, 4-3 Cards.

[bcl412]

Kent singles and it's 4-3 with one out still for Casey Blake.

[Soul]

Kent singles in a run, 4-3 with 1 out, Franklin coming on with Blake up.

 

If Howry was the closer Lou wouldn't be satisfied until the lead was given up.

Kent singles in a run, 4-3 with 1 out, Franklin coming on with Blake up.

 

If Howry were the closer, the game would already be tied with a Manny HR.

[Guest]

Casey Blake up. Sac fly! 4-4!

[Soul]

Tie game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Sac fly ties the game and the Cards blow another save. =D>

[E.J.]

Izzy should pitch more often.

[bcl412]

Cardinals pen is not good.

[Andy]

Mark Sweeney up next.

 

I think he's played for every NL West team.

[Guest]

Lineout. To the bottom of the 9th we go...
