[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster sacrificed, 1-3, Fukudome to second

Odalis' WHIP is about 4 right now.

 

nah.... it's only 3.25 !

 

When I said it he had given up 4 BBs and 9 hits in 3 1/3. 3.90 WHIP :P

 

Off-topic: Hey rawaction, did you hear the actor who played Shonuf died? I'm not sure if that's why you made him your avatar.

 

Yeah, that's why I have the avatar. Actually had it before about 2 years ago, but had to bring it back in memory!

 

Who's the Baddest!!!!

 

Kiss My Converse!

It is so funny watching a midget play a critical spot like 1B.

 

No wonder the Nats are where they are. Belliard at 1B and their overall lineup.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano doubled to down the left field line , Fukudome scored

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now we're cooking.

[PrimeTime]

This better start a chain reaction with all the hitters now

[CubsBears29]

Now we're cooking.

 

Just imagine what the score could with all those scoring chances we had in the first 3 innings.

 

Oh well, just win today Cubs and I'll forget it soon enough!

They prefer to be called little people, and they should only play middle infied positions.

Mock in to pitch for Washington

I don't look as Wood as unexpected production. He's been healthy and I always felt he could be a great closer once he got comfortable in the role. Now, Edmonds, Johnson, Theriot, Soto and Demp? That another story. I thought Soto would be good, not this good. I am more impressed with how he has handled our staff.

 

As I type this, Aramis with another gem at 3rd base. He needs to get gold glove consideration this year.

 

I agree, we all know what type of production Wood give with health but you have to admit his health would be considered a bonus thus far.

 

If that Baseball America tools thing is an indication, the managers consider him the second best glove in the NL at third behind only Wright.

 

Now doubt we all were concerned about Wood staying healthy.

[rawaction]

When I saw where gamecast had that pitch. I knew "in play: run(s)" meant a double down the LF line. Soriano's hands are quick.

Everyone in the lineup has a hit now, except for Kosuke, who has been on base twice.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded out to third, 5-3 , Soriano holding second

[Little Slide Rooter]

Theriot sucks. we need to get Khalil Greene while we can.

[Outshined_One]

Zimmerman's winning a gold glove some day. The dude is awesome defensively at 3B.

[CubsBears29]

Plz Bob... "YD, YR, IS" has got to go!!

 

Ugh!

[CubsBears29]

The Cubs offense, after Perez left, was totally Mocked.
