I really needed that. I know those 5 run leads are hard to protect, but we can do it. Just walk Carlos Lee every time, no matter the situation.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Ummm, that would be an EXPLOSION!!! DeRo, Sori and even Marquis.

 

UNREAL 8-) !!

[Banedon]

I need a description of Backe's reaction.

Most Epic. Inning. Ever.

 

I also just got a job offer and accepted in North Dakota at the same time all this was happening.

 

 

Congratulations!

lol Ron forgot to make his donation statement until after Soriano's homer, then he forgot who was getting the (combined) big, big, big, big, big, big, BIG donation!

 

It was more of a "what do I have to do to get an out?" look.

[Derwood]

Backe's reaction was priceless. :yahoo:

 

 

Details?

 

As long as the ball hit Sori's bat he threw his hands up. I couldn't tell if it was to the catcher, like "I told you we should have gone with the slider." Or maybe "man I suck."

 

I think it was more like "what do I have to throw to get these guys out?"

threw the pitch, it got whacked, and he immediately threw his hands up in the air in complete exasperation

[cubweiser03]

If Soriano wasnt hurt so much this year he be right next to dunn in the derby.

Not often you get Soriano, Theriot, and Lee all out in an inning, and still give up 8 runs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I'm spent.

[David]

We are so much better than the rest of the NL, it isn't even funny.

[erik316wttn]

Knock that crap off, Jason.

[inari]

Come on Marquis, keep the momentum on our side.

[Little Slide Rooter]

A snow man. Thats awesome.

[TruffleShuffle]

let's see how much of the lead marquis donks off here.

[kujay]

Dude, Marquis, please. We don't need another blown five-run lead today. T-minus 50 minutes until I go to the bar to watch the rest of the game on a bit bigger screen.

[erik316wttn]

At least they got the one. That was a tough play.

[inari]

Smart play by DeRo to apply the tag instead of throwing to second. There was no other way there'd be a chance at first.

[kujay]

Good effort by D-Ro there to get lead runner.
