7/28 Astros (Oswalt) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05 WGN

[Keener98]

Apparently breaking balls right over the middle of the plate are balls

i know i'm not the only one here who has seen enough of hoff, right?

He looks terrible right now. Maybe some consistent time in the minors would benefit him to get his swing back together by September... not that we have any better options to call up.

 

he's just miserable at pitch recognition and he has no patience. he's frustrating because he literally is all or nothing.

 

and he has a slider speed bat....

[hossdriver]

Doesn't look like the Astros are done pounding our bullpen...

That and even when he's hot he has absolutely no business facing a lefty.

Anyone have any idea what BJ Ryan did for Iowa tonight in his appearance?

I'm not saying this is the only problem, but being relegated to pinch hitting duties only can't be helping him much. He's still horrendous against lefties which means he's going to be nothing more than a platoon guy.

[BCVM22]

A bloop hit? No way.

[Keener98]

Way to slow up hoff

[hossdriver]

Can't... Stop... Bleeding...

[Butterscup1679666578]

send samardzija down tomorrow.

[Keener98]

The Shark experiment needs to end

Dodgers have 8 hits (including two doubles), a walk and had a guy reach on an error through six innings and haven't scored. Edited July 29, 2009 by soccer10k

I'm glad this Samardzija showed up tonight rather than last night

[RedFlash]

We'll still take the series.

Yup and the Cubs are the lucky ones

[hossdriver]

its like a train wreck... I can't look away, much less turn it off and go to bed...

[Guest]

Just beat the crap out of Hampton and Ortiz the next two days and all is well.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Sucks to lose, but I didn't expect to win it before the first pitch was thrown. Take the next 2 and then hope the Cubs don't step on their collective weenies down in Miami like they usually do.

To expand a little more, the Dodgers have had a runner on in all 14 innings so are of the 2 games, and have scored 1 run...

[weis21]

just lose this quickly, I've got a couple other things to do tonight

[Cubs Fan In NY]

Bob sounds a little peeved.

[Butterscup1679666578]

keep taking guys

Bob sounds a little peeved.

 

He doesnt like how often Pudge goes to the mound
