Re: 9/15: Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler), 1:05, CSN (?)

What inning do the astros start trying to bunt for a hit. Won't be suprised to see Pence try it.

[kujay]

Stupid batters, holding the bat upside down!

Talk about spitting in the face of the baseball gods.

 

Ease on the consecutive innings, comparisons to last night, etc talk.

 

I didn't jinx Z yesterday by saying "no-hitter" about a dozen times after the 5th inning.

 

Guy in my section said the word no hitter after 2 innings yesterday. Even in person karma couldn't derail Z.

LOL... Bob saying all these broken bats are because the hundreds of players breaking bats this year are using them wrong... seriously?

And this is a prime example of why I don't understand how he is so well liked on here.

Obviously if he walks someone or gives up a hit, it's going to be my fault... from 175 miles away, or however far it is, it will be my fault... so feel free to blame me.

I was cheering loudly for Z to complete the CG Shutout until the moment he clinched his no hitter :)

Frick'n MLB.tv. Apparently you are able to watch either feed, away or home, if you have premium, which I do. However, when you click on it in the box, it loads a screen telling you to buy it, and if you try to go to the MLB.tv listings, well, nothing shows up anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

MLB.com needs to hire some better programmers.

Its more tradition than a jinx. Listen to it or not, but don't knock anyone for abiding by it or not abiding by it.

Nice to see Lou resting Theriot some , I wonder when we are gonna finally see some Blanco/Hill action and give Geo some more rest before the playoffs, that and a few days off for the Hoff would be nice.

Whether he tries to or not, he brings the funny. Case in point...his last 5 minutes.

Bingo. For me, it's one of those little things in baseball that you don't get in any other sport.

I don't think he's that well liked.

 

My opinion on it - love Kasper's contributions, but I can see how people can be annoyed at his voice. I just find it funny, if anything. Brenly, I am completely *meh* on and don't care much about him either way. He's too old school for me and I get annoyed at how he plays favorites and makes excuses for players he likes and picks apart players he doesn't like.

 

 

It seems like most people on here feel this way, but I could be wrong.

Geo just had 2 days off.

 

Why does Hoff need more rest?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman walked

[Cynosure]

Anyone know the current record for a pitching staff to hold the opposition hitless?

 

THAT was strike 3.

[kujay]

That pitch was a little high? I guess?

[Old Style]

DAMNIT! No more perfecto.

Pence popped out (foul) to first base

I'm meh on Bob as well. Don't dislike him, don't overly like him either. I want him in the booth because he has really good chemistry with Len.

11 pitches through 1... Astros no hit for 10 Innings now... that's not too hot.

 

10 innings by us, anyway. Did they get any hits in the 9th inning of the game before they played us?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Berkman caught stealing, 1-3-6

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have thrown out 24 runners trying to steal in 81 attempts during their last 115 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!
