Kosuke Fukudome sucks. Plain and simple.

[ConstableRabbit]

I'm listening on the radio... did Kosuke spin like a little ballerina on that K?

[emoore]

5 hits and 3 walks in 3 innings without a run. That is impressive.

[Guancous]

8 stranded in 3 innings... that has to be one short of the record.

I'm listening on the radio... did Kosuke spin like a little ballerina on that K?

 

Indeed.

 

Please start booing Fukudome.

[CubsBears29]

So in 3 innings, we've stranded 2, 3, and 3 respectively.

 

The longer this goes on, the more confident WAS will get.

 

This has all the makings of a most forgettable weekend.

[anabiono]

just one of those games...we will get them...i gotta good feeling about this game guys

[Little Slide Rooter]

Everyones saying, better be in a slump vs. the Nats and Reds than the Philles or Brewers, but if you end up losing anyway, it really doesnt matter who beats you.

[Fred Hornkohl]

8 stranded in 3 innings... that has to be one short of the record.

 

yeah..... but don't the CUBS hold the record ???

[Fred Hornkohl]

Zimmerman singled to center field

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'm listening on the radio... did Kosuke spin like a little ballerina on that K?

 

Indeed.

 

Please start booing Fukudome.

 

I just hop everyone kept their receipts from those headbands they bought early in the season..

[bcruise]

How does this game escape MLB's Saturday blackout rule?

 

I thought for sure I was just going to get radio of this one, but it's actually on MLBTV!

[Guest]

Getting 8 base runners in 3 innings is good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Milledge sacrificed, 3 unassisted, Zimmerman to second

[Fred Hornkohl]

Belliard grounded out to third, 5-3 , Zimmerman holding second
