5/29 Dodgers (Billingsly) @ Cobs (Lilly) 1:20CDT CSN

[Keener98]

Hahahaha hey Jake Fox could probably do that

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kemp grounded to third base , safe at first on a fielding error, E5, Ethier to second

[Mark Priors Calves]

oops

[TruffleShuffle]

wtf

[Hawk4Hall]

Well at least he didn't try to throw it.

[PrimeTime]

Just put Fox at third. Im sure he couldve done better on that play Edited May 29, 2009 by PrimeTime

[cubswin2009]

Seriously? Put Jake Fox there and he makes that play.

[Guest]

Strikes, please.

[Andy]

The catcalls at Fox's defense look more and more ridiculous every time Scales and Fontenot flub a play over there.

[Outshined_One]

I wish we would have gotten Kemp for Maddux.

 

Maddux for Izturis was Jim Hendry's second worst trade for this team.

I'm not sure about that. It's not like that trade really affected us that badly. The 06 team sucked either way and the 07 team made the playoffs despite it. Right now it seems like the DeRo trade is worse than that one.

 

Oh boy.

 

My hatred of Cesar Izturis and the fact that the Cubs could have gotten prospects for Maddux are the two reasons why I despise that deal so much.

 

At least the DeRosa trade might net the Cubs some decent relievers down the road.

[kujay]

Ugh.

[TruffleShuffle]

There has been a lot of close calls according to gameday, but that was the first pitch entirely in the zone called a ball that I've seen today.

 

gregg has gotten boned over on a bunch of those this year, frankly. one of the balls to ethier looked good too.

Oh boy.

 

The trade made Izturis the starting SS, which was bad enough on its own.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-15 when they commit one or more errors.... 20-8 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Butterscup1679666578]

wonder how far loretta is going to hit this.

Not prospects that could glove in runs.

[Hawk4Hall]

Time to sing!

[haubrich91]

CUBS WIN! Thank you god.

[Guest]

CUBS WIN!!

[Little Slide Rooter]

HUZZAH!

[Outshined_One]

I feel like Joe Borowski's corpse is back on the mound with this team.

 

I'll take that win, though.

Scales shouldve thrown home.

[Mark Priors Calves]

nice win.

[Cubbie Swagger]

Poor Bobby Scales... :(

 

But at least it didn't cost us the game.
