8/10 Cardinals (Carpenter) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05pm ESPN

[CubmanPi]

I wish ESPN would just bleep out Jon Miller every time he pronounces Aramis.

 

Also, I wish Aramis would hustle once in a while. \:D/

[SouthSideRyan]

Barry Rozner is crying.

I wonder what it's going to take to get broadcasters to start showing a more useful stat than batting average next to the hitter's name.

They show OBP.

More people like Len, he got WGN to start showing OBP.

 

 

 

But only for Cubs games, WS games don't show it... to intelligent I guess (although that would be hilarious to hear Hawk and DJ try to talk about it).

I'm talking about showing it, or better yet OPS as the primary stat next to the hitter's name. Notice when ESPN shows who is coming up next inning....it'll be avg. that is shown.

I think he's trying to put the proper pronunciation on the latin names. . . . he sounds like a goob when he does it.

 

 

I remember him saying "Neifi Pay-rez" alot.

[rawaction]

Aramis Wheels Ramirez.

[SouthSideRyan]

Couple bad swings there by Geo.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 48-15 when they score first in the game.... 22-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-5 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 48-41 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
