9/2 Astros (Backe) v Cubs (Z!) 7:05 WGN

[Ski]

Since I stopped watching, the Cubs have scored 2. Donations will be accepted.

 

continue not watching the rest of the season

Following the playoffs my computer sounds much more exciting than watching it on TV :wink:

[ChiCubsFan]

Happy Guz isn't hurt. But then I must ask why wasn't he brought in? Furthermore, what's wrong with Z?

[weatherdood]

Not a fan of Reed in this spot.

[Guest]

Guzmán up, he's not hurt.

 

Yayyy!

 

blows my theory out of the water (thankfully). Sorry for the scare guys. Hopefully Z! is okay, too.

 

I think the Z pitch count theory coming off a "tired arm" rest is a very plausible theory. But the Howry warming up late in the bottom of the inning thing is just strange.

[kujay]

Nice play there by Blum.

[Andy]

Aaaaaand that's why you bat Ward there.

[inari]

Crap.

I have missed every run scored so far because of channel flipping. Maybe I should just not turn the game back on again

[Little Slide Rooter]

Come on Soriano. Just kill the damn ball here.

[weatherdood]

Or Hoff.. or Kosuke

[Guest]

Gah.

[Derwood]

Aaaaaand that's why you bat Ward there.

 

ha, no. Ward has like 8 hits all year

[DivineBovine]

Does Howry ever not suck? While I walked my dog, he allowed 4 runs.

 

Why is that guy still pitching for the team? Just release him.

[ChiCubsFan]

I like that RJ hit the ball hard, but first of all, why bring him in to face a RHP? Secondly, hit the damn ball to the right side to move the runner to 3rd please.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If nothing else, Lou probably feels dumb for leavign the worst pitcher on earth in so long.

He was brought in to face Byrdak, I don't know why they left him in to face Sampson.

[Joe_Cub]

lou can't quit bob howry.

[weatherdood]

If nothing else, Lou probably feels dumb for leavign the worst pitcher on earth in so long.

 

I really don't think he does. He's been doing this for months.

[Derwood]

This is the smartest approach to Soriano with a base open. Just keep bouncing them up there until he gets himself out

[Derwood]

Nope, he just needs to let him pitch his way outta his slump

 

/gag

Yea, but I think recently he had regained Lou's confidence with a few "decent" outings in blowouts.

 

Hopefully he'll learn to stop playing with fire, now.

[kujay]

Mets and Brewers going to the 8th still tied.

[inari]

I hate Geoff Blum.

[Derwood]

gah, Blum

[Andy]

Ok, Geoff Blum. You can stop being great now.
