Is anyone warming up? And I do like the idea of putting Zambrano at first, silly as it may seem.

 

I was half way serious. Of course the idea of a bad throw getting in the path of the runner is terrifying an it is an unnecessary risk.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Roberts, pinch hitting for Ojeda, grounded out to second, 4-3 , Wilson holding second

[Little Slide Rooter]

Between Rauche, Felipe Lopez,and this Roberts guy the D Bags have more tatoos than a trailer park.

Guzman is warming up.

[Andy]

Get three guys on, Cubs!

[BCVM22]

Gathright was doing the Scooby Doo spinny-legs thing to get to that ball.

[chuckywang]

Why is Milton still in?

 

He needs at bats.

 

Tell him he doesn't get an at bat if he walks.

[B]

I checked Wikipedia to see if it listed any pitchers, it didn't, but I did learn this:

 

 

Gary Ward (1980) and Daryle Ward (2004) became the first father/son combo to hit for the cycle.

 

Its more amazing that Daryle actually ran 270 feet at one time.

that was my thought.

[E.J.]

Why is Milton still in?

 

He needs at bats.

 

Tell him he doesn't get an at bat if he walks.

 

This ain't Dustyball.

[Tryptamine]

Why is Milton still in?

 

He needs at bats.

 

Tell him he doesn't get an at bat if he walks.

 

He's only a single away from joining the triple digit batting average club.

Quite a season for Bradley today.

[Tryptamine]

Why is Milton still in?

 

He needs at bats.

 

Tell him he doesn't get an at bat if he walks.

 

He's only a single away from joining the triple digit batting average club.
