[Brian]

how about 4 quick top half of innings now?

[Guest]

61 pitches (32 strikes) through 3 for Demp.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I feel lucky to have escaped that inning with the lead.

 

It would be nice to add some insurance....because we're going to have to hand this one to the bullpen.

[Smack]

Whew! I've been screaming so much my cat is hiding from me.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm still pissed off about that "check swing" ball 3 to Lowe that was clearly in the zone to begin with.

[third eye]

Phew, too many pitches, but at least he stopped leaving the ball up to the last couple of hitters. Hopefully he settles down from here.

 

Also, Jack Daniels goes well with Cubs playoff games.

[imb]

the funniest names in comedy jerry seinfeld dave cook

[Shilzzz]

a lot of exhaling going on tonight.

[third eye]

Hmm ...explain this to me. What does Manny in the 3 hole have to do with the increased production of Ethier in the 4 hole?

 

resverse lineup protection, of course.

So is it TBS that's an idiot or me?

[bcl412]

We need one of our patented 5 run innings.

Howry for the 7th will be fun

[inari]

Bunting? Ick.

 

And Fukudome is getting the same treatment as Theriot did last year. People aren't acknowledging that he was bad for way more than just the end of the season.

[17 Seconds]

A foul bunt on ball 3 and then a swing on ball 4. Go back to Japan

[Little Slide Rooter]

So according to Stocktons calculations, the Japanese season is 2 months.
