Re: 8/30 Phillies (Myers) @ Cubs (Lilly) 2:55 Fox

[David]

Myers pounding the outsider corner on almost every first pitch. It's frustrating to see it happen to us, but it is a thing of beauty to see from an outsiders perspective.

 

It's really not. Those were freaking balls.

 

According to the umps zone, those were strikes. Once he found the corner of the umps strike zone, hes been consistantly hitting that spot all game. If the zone was 2 inches more inside, he'd have probably found a way to hit that too.

 

 

That's complete BS.. Ump's zone? It's the same bullcrap that went on with the Braves throughout the 90s then.

 

If it were two inches more inside they would've been hittable pitches.

[Vinestal]

I don't see us winning this game and that's fine. We can't win them all...

 

hopefully Pitt will pull out a miracle win tonight.

 

hehe Pittsburg, right. Maybe Zambrano will pitch well tommorow, 3 of 4 would be great. I figured 2 of 4 would be good in this series anyway.

 

Isn't Zambrano being skipped tomorrow??

 

Hadnt heard that, that would truely stink, who would be pitching Marquis? Id have no faith in him against this Philly offense.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Werth homered to left field

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I guess our winning streak had to end sometime....

[UMFan83]

Werth is a certified Cub killer

[JoshiQ]

Cotts is a certified Cub killer

 

Fixed.

[UMFan83]

LOL Theriot.

I guess when it rains, it pours.

Werth looks like such a grease monkey

Feliz grounded to shortstop , safe at first on a fielding error, E6

That wouldn't stink. That would be great, because he needs rest and the Cubs have a fairly comfortable lead.

 

I don't see how it would be Marquis, after he just went on Wednesday. It would be Marshall, I'm guessing.

[Guest]

Get all the bad pitches and errors out of the way today and come back and win the series tomorrow.

 

Can't win em all.

I haven't heard he is.

 

Look at page 2 of this thread.

 

I see...I didn't see that. I'm glad!

You figured we'd leave alot of guys in scoring position and then bring in Cotts to give up lots of runs? Lilly actually pitched pretty well today, I was happy with his performance.

[UMFan83]

Mike Schmidt homered to Left

[ConstableRabbit]

I listened to that ESPN 1000 report... it was replaying previous Lou comments. He said "yeah, we might throw Marshall in there. He doesn't have a dead arm, but maybe a tired arm..."

 

I didn't hear anyone say that Z would definitely be skipped.

Tony... go sit in the corner !!

At least I still have Michigan football.
