9/20 Cards (Pineiro) @ Clinch Cubs (Lilly) 2:55 CDT/FOX

[C.C.]

Let's put this game to sleep boys. Need offense!

[Outshined_One]

You know, since most games end in the late innings.

 

Rain

 

That's why I said most!

 

I know. I was telling the worst joke in the history of the internet

 

I don't see any description of the goatse man on there...

[C.C.]

Red's have them loaded with nobody out

[BCVM22]

Ugh. We need runs.

[cbbryan]

Nice no hitting that inning. 7 pitches.

[cubbyvirus00]

stupid cobs just wanna party

[Wolfgangbucks]

Reds have bases loaded 1 out

[Soul]

Fuku freakin sucks..

 

 

He pulls off everything with that "Japanese" swing. Why not step forward instead of bailing out? It's maddening to watch.

 

It seems like that and he also stands to close to the plate. I wasnt expecting him to be great here in his first year.But not this brutal

 

He has a good eye at the plate, but even when he reaches the outside pitch he doesn't do anything with it. I can't believe it's that hard of a thing to fix. Step forward not toward 1B. I teach 12 year olds this every summer.

 

So Japanese pitchers can't pitch outside? This is why I'm still confused what's really going on. Fuku was a very, very solid hitter in Japan for an extended period of time. Sure, it's not MLB but there's talent there. Certainly enough talent to pound the outside on him. Yet he succeeded.

 

There's got to be something more happening than just "MLB found a hole in his swing." They would have found that hole in Japan too if that's all it was. He's lost confidence or something. I don't know.

RIP Offense

2nd Inning - 4th Inning.

 

Good night sweet prince.

[cbbryan]

I didn't realize CC was pitching on 3 days rest.......... WTF?

[CubinNY]

Red's have two on, nobody out.

Fielder had another error.

 

He's literally got DH written all over him. It's in one of his tatoos.

[BCVM22]

Ryan Hanigan K's swinging, 2 outs for Cinci

[C.C.]

Reds have bases loaded 1 out

 

2 outs now.

Because he's fat.

If they are still in it the plan is to do it 2 more times - Wednesday and Sunday

You're probably right, but the biggest concern I have is his first step.

[Soul]

Way to go out there and put up some insurance runs guys.

[C.C.]

Strikes please!

[cbbryan]

Come on Marmol. Find the strike zone.

[cbbryan]

Now put him away Carlos.

[RedFlash]

Sunny was so hot.

 

Maria is freakin' gorgeous. But Sunny at her peak makes her look like Roseanne.

 

 

:nea:

 

Sonny=WWF's version of Jenny McCarthy..

 

 

And come on Cubs, I feel like celebrating..

Me too, but in April and May he was fouling off bad pitches and dumping those outside sliders into left field. I'll bet that's what he did overseas too. He's just not doing it now, and I'd like to know why.
