The only thing that scares me is, that if the conditions are ripe for the Cubs to score 11 runs, they might be ripe for the other team to match.

 

Im not so much worried about the conditions as I am about the guy on the mound.

 

I think that's the condition.

[PrimeTime]

Only thing that sucks that the wins get Marquis and Howry off the hook with the Lou and everyone else. so they can keep coming out and sucking

the only conditions ripe for scoring were backe's lack of control and hanging sliders.

Are there any other players that have 1 team they absolutely own as much as Carlos Lee, and Adam Dunn do to us? The closest thing that comes to mind is Justin Moneau to the White Sox.

[Soul]

Well that's two quality outs.

Vlad Guerrero is hitting close to .400 lifetime vs. Texas.

Burnitz used to eat us for lunch when he was on the Brewers

[AI]

For the record, I am also hitting close to .400 against the Rangers.

Backe's ERA coming into today was 4.72

 

It is now 5.35

[UMFan83]

Marquis sure looks much more comfortable with a 7 run lead than he does with a 1 run lead.

[David]

Sori is on fiyah

Hit parade continues.

Nice to see Soriano healthy.

pat burrell also destroys us. i also remember that we couldn't get out that scrubby outfielder alex sanchez.

 

and basically whoever is catching for the reds will hit a home run - paul bako, david ross, javier valentin, etc.

[erik316wttn]

Uh oh.

I would think that deserves a good gatorade tossing in the dugout.

[Derwood]

oh boy, that hurt

[C.C.]

oh boy, that hurt

 

Details?

[cubs1908-2008]

who's hurt?

[TruffleShuffle]

can't keep a gritty man down.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why the hell is he batting after that with a 7 run lead? Get tht hing iced. And while your at it, put in Johnson for Edmonds.

[Banedon]

Injury delay? what happened?

[otis89]

Injury delay? what happened?

 

Theriot fouled a ball off his foot at about the speed of sound.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Injury delay? what happened?

 

Theriot took a fowl off the foot. He ran OK, but they'll probably take him out to be safe.
