[hardcorecubfan]

best call up ever

 

At least in the last 48 hours

[Keener98]

The dude without the sleeves and the moustache probably just messed his pants.

 

 

Hes probably trying to figure out still why Fox went back to the batters box

[Outshined_One]

He can be our Tawmmy from Quinzee.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

that was one foxy rbi.

 

sorry couldn't help myself. flame away

[haubrich91]

Jake Fox. I'm getting a man crush.

[Clem Fandango]

That was super neato!

[Jake]

You wouldn't want Sanchez to bat for the pitcher?

I'd like to say no, I don't. But, then...

 

There's no one else. :-(

 

It'll probably be Hinske, though.

 

If we ever get off the field.

[rynefan]

.... and Aaron Miles mysteriously disappears

Glad to see Fox get a hit in his 1st ab. If he hits he will force Lou to at least give him a shot in the field.

[rynefan]

Let's not forget Reed Johnson's greatness today...

If the Cubs win he should get Player Of The Game.

[jersey cubs fan]

Glad to see Fox get a hit in his 1st ab. If he hits he will force Lou to at least give him a shot in the field.

 

I'd rather just let the SOB pinch hit once a game. Even if the situation just calls for a guy who can get on base, let Fox be your first RH bat off the bench every game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gregg in to pitch for the CUBS

[jersey cubs fan]

Let's not forget Reed Johnson's greatness today...

 

Did he prevent Zambrano from getting tossed?

[Hawk4Hall]

Throw strikes Gregg. Let's not make this interesting.

[rynefan]

This game is almost worth 8 straight losses...ALMOST....

:good:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sanchez, pinch hitting for Burnett, walked

[cubswin2009]

Gregg in to pitch for the CUBS

Pepto Bismol time!

[laurens]

If Gregg blows this game I will personally come to the US and kick him in the nuts.

[jersey cubs fan]

3-run lead and you walk the [expletive] leadoff hitter. You douchebag!

[Jake]

heh! I was wrong.

Reed can cover some ground, but he needs to have the speed of Carl Lewis and Ricky Henderson combined to get to home from center to stop Mt Z from erupting.
