I really hope none of our posters are lurking in the Brewers game thread on their board.

 

I'm guessing they're busy making fun of our board having a hard-on for Sam Fuld.

 

It's kind of tongue-in-cheek.

kind of?

Fontenot is at fault because you're taught to freeze on a line drive, not take a couple steps towards third. He was trying to be aggressive and keep his chances alive of scoring on that had it gone over Hardy's head.

 

His first instinct should have been to go back to second. It wasn't and he got burned.

 

I dont care what you are taught to do, 99% of players are getting doulbed up on that.

[JGalt73]

Nice outing by Gregg - let's go get this one!

[Sammy Sofa]

OUTSTANDING work by Gregg today.

[Tryptamine]

Gregg was filthy today.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Great outing by Gregg

[inari]

That is easily the best work Gregg has done as a Cub, considering what he had to overcome.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Damn, great outing Gregg.

[B]

Shutup Brenly. Don't try to defend what Fontenot did there.

We get it dude. You're the best baserunner ever and wouldn't have gotten doubled off there.

Gregg and Heilman with fantastic outings today. That means Marmol blows it right?

If Fontenot was close enough to second to get back,no way he would have scored if it got through

 

Then you take your chances with Hill up, the bases loaded and one out.

He did freeze. He did a 180 ,saw Hardy catch the ball and dove back.

[MWV]

This being a walk-off scenario, Soriano might bother to show up.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now thats some good Gregg. And we still have Hart, Shark, and Marshall who are capable of pitching multiple innings. Quality innings? Who knows. Hopefully we dont have to find out and it ends here.

[Brian]

time to end this

Mine isn't "kind of" tongue-in-cheek.

It's just a hard luck turn of events for us. It happens.

[CyHawk_Cub]

PLEASE Sori............

[UMFan83]

What? Marshall can only pitch to one left handed batter and that's it.

Fuld hit that on the button. That's almost always a single short of what happened happening: the infielder making a perfect leaping stab at it. You can't gamble like that's likely to happen when a single is the far more likely outcome whenever a ball is hit like that in that direction.

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeFelice in to pitch for Milwaukee

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit, I wanted Clutchiano.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded out to second, 4-3

[Tryptamine]

Yeah I'm really glad he got the start today.
