5/7 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Ortiz) - 7:05 PM CT - CSN+

[Guancous]

Is it just me or is this game insanely boring?

There's always the chase for the shortest game thread to follow.

And taking forever.

Break out that hotel soap discussion, Pat, things are kinda slow.

that stupid hill annoys me every time I see it

I love the outfield train too. Actually, you just disband the Astros and the Nationals to make the Leagues even.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The train looks like it is hauling pumpkins.

Can we move the Pirates to the East so we can have only four teams in the central? Wait, we want to be able to beat up on them for wild card considerations every few years.

[Sammys Boombox]

I hope Ted is done. He gave up some long flies. Although he just faced the meat of the order.

This is probably my least favorite park in baseball. It's just too darned gimmicky.

Is the hill supposed to recall old Crosley field? Be the answer yes or no, its still stupid. I've always thought it absurd that they were allowed to place a flag pole on the field of play. Why not place a windmill in short right? Add a "mini-golf" aspect to the game.

[coldsteel]

"Deep In The Heart Of Texas..." in the 7th inning stretch. Brings a tear to my eye.

I think some pink flamingos on the infield grass would be a nice touch.

[Laura]

I'd like to see Carlos Lee have to run between turning blades out there.

As I remember, back in '05 when the Astros were trying to resign Beltran, and he was considering them, he said if he were to resign, one of his stipulations was that theyd have to take out the hill.

[UMFan83]

Nice job getting past the error Heilman. That's what I want to see out of you.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So hopefully Marmol feasts on the meat, Gregg nibbles on the scraps, and we all go to bed happy.

[MWV]

Nice inning by Heilman. Worked around the error.

[Laura]

would be nice if Milton got going someday

[Little Slide Rooter]

Bradleys doing his best to make me miss Jacque Jones, Jeromy Burnitz, and even Todd Hallandsworth.

looks like he got going to the dugout.

[Little Slide Rooter]

PH Koyie Hill please.

[Schwarber Fan]

Kinda funny how we don't score in these spots and we still end up winning.

 

Mlb.tv on the other hand is not funny. Random permanent freeze again. Ugh!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Maybe Geo can make them pay for that, but probably not.

[Laura]

hehehe
