8/23 Nationals (Perez) @ Cubs (Dempster) - 12:05 CSN Chicago

[Little Slide Rooter]

Getting 8 base runners in 3 innings is good.

 

Did you learn nothing from the Dusty Era? Baserunners are bad.

[CubsBears29]

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.

 

Exactly. And while I'd rather NEVER lose, I'd take losses to teams like the Brewers/Phillies, cause those are acceptable.

 

Struggling and/or losing (@ home) to teams like Cincy and the Nationals is not.

I'm almost certain I heard a smattering of boo's for Kosuke after that ridiculous swing and miss. Seriously, I'd consider trading him in the off season unless he gets real hot and shows something. IMO, the guy sucks.

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!

 

Because it starts before 2 or something like that.

All of the sudden Mojo Pins avatar becomes wishfull thinking. Meanwhile, the Sox get great poduction from a malnourished Cuban shortstop who wasnt projected to make the big leagues this year. Go figure.

[radarluv1]

lots of gloom here for a tied game.

[CubsBears29]

Kosuke Fukudome is to the Cubs offense what Bob Howry is to the Cubs pitching staff.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster grounded out to first, unassisted

You could say the same about Reed Johnson and Theriot as far as unexpected great production.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano walked

Geovany Soto, Ryan Dempster, Kerry Wood, Jim Edmonds.

Soriano is becoming a walk machine. 8-)

[Guest]

Soriano walked

 

What is that, 4 in the last 3 days? Nice!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot blooped a single to shallow left center field , Soriano to third

[Brian]

yes more runners to strand

[ChiCubsfan0502]

Great base running by Soriano.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Derrek, just get it over with.

[rawaction]

Why is everyone mad at Fukudome when Soto is the one that screwed up most last inning?

[PrimeTime]

If Lee hits into a DP here..Just wow, I will break things

[Brian]

BOLD STATEMENT: we score

[Fred Hornkohl]

I think that's like 48 multihit games for Theriot, or something like that. Who woulda thunk it ???
