7/27 Astros (Rodriguez) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN

[Cubswin11]

Crank up that Lou's an idiot thread boys.

Already on it

[kujay]

Is there any reasonable explanation for that move? Seriously.

Senility

 

I typed that same word at the same time...

[Fred Hornkohl]

I Rodriguez, pinch hitting for W Rodriguez, struck out swinging

[Soul]

Haha, I want that guy's job.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Thank God Wandys gone. Is he really this good?

[Old Style]

Praise Jeebus! LaTroy is up in the Astros bullpen.

Lous an idiot? Terrible roster management since the teams best RH PH is the only backup catcher, when he never gets to play catcher? Inexcusable

[CyHawk_Cub]

What are you doing Cecil?

I'm reminded of the time the Pirates manager brought in a righty to face Remlinger after Dusty had brought him in to face a lefty

Quoting this again to point out how long it's been since the last time I've seen a pair of managerial decisions that stupid

 

Yeah, lots of fail that inning, but Lou's trumps Cecil's

[erik316wttn]

Ouch for the ump there. Took a foul ball right to the mask.

[Careless]

Thank God Wandys gone. Is he really this good?

He's got a 2.65 ERA??

[CyHawk_Cub]

Thank God Wandys gone. Is he really this good?

 

Apparently good enough so as to expect only 1 run off him

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Praise Jeebus! LaTroy is up in the Astros bullpen.

 

Do the fans boo his past performance or vigorously cheer his arrival on the mound?

[Coach C]

Lou's in-game managing skills

Nice

Wow, that's a toughie.

 

Now watch, he'll strike out the side on 9 pitches.

[Soul]

Thank God Wandys gone. Is he really this good?

 

He's been good. I can't whine about being punked by a crappy pitcher tonight.

 

 

I'll still whine, just not about that ;)

[Careless]

You're supposed to take out Bucknor's knee so he can never ump again, not his throat and kill him

A Cubbie dilemma.

They boo because it seems to affect him

Well, a crappy pitcher having a fluke year.

[NotSoSober]

Is there any reason this game should be blacked out for me when I live in Oklahoma? Like say, the only game the MLB Extra Innings package is showing the Astros feed instead of the Cubs feed? This is absurd.

 

Can I get a recap of how Zambrano looked, please. Thanks.

[chasinf5s]

thank you for swining at a ball that might have hit you

[Keener98]

I really cant believe Brenley didnt say anything about leaving Z in to hit. My God
