6-0. Koyie Hill, lol.

[apete6]

Mike Hampton is going to have a LOOOONG day. The Astros bullpen is worn out beyond belief. He's going to be taking one for the team today...unless he drills Soriano next inning and gets ejected.

[jersey cubs fan]

Who's Jake Fox?

[laurens]

How did Baker get on?

 

4 pitch walk

[gflore34]

Mike Hampton is terrible. That is all.

 

When Hill rips you, you know you're bad!!!!!

[JonJayCutler]

Soriano batting 6th is working out pretty well isn't it?

[Old Style]

How did Baker get on?

4 pitch walk

[Keener98]

Im kinda pissed about the sac bunt, but its hard to be pissed when its 6-0

[Derwood]

Cubs batting 1.000 first time through the order:

 

Johnson - hit

Theriot - hit

Lee - Sac Fly

Ramirez - RBI

Bradley - Walk

Soriano - HR

Baker - Walk

Hill - Single

Wells - Sac Bunt

Almost as if it doesn't make a difference where he bats at all :)

At first I was going to say that he's going to have a short day and get knocked out early, but then I forgot about how many innings the Astro bullpen has thrown the last two days.

But he's "trying harder" in the 6-spot, amirite? :D

I think Lou just wanted to keep him off the bases.

[cubweiser03]

also, Soriano is REALLY going to get one in the ribs here soon

Then C Lee will get one in the fat.

[haubrich91]

Awesome inning. Don't blow it or stop scoring, please.

I just wish it wasn't on the first pitch. The Cubs I know would come out the next inning and go 1, 2, 3 on 8 pitches, leaving Hampton's game total relatively low for somebody who is getting knocked around. I'd like to see them force him out of the game ASAP.

[Derwood]

It must suck for Colorado/Florida/Atlanta/Houston to be paying Hampton to suck so badly

Yea Im just thinking if Hill can get a hit against Hampton, Wells possibly could too :D

Who did they call up for Hawkins? And is he available today?

as Harry used to say, "he's gotta have a ski mask on when he goes to pick up his check"

[CyHawk_Cub]

Nice throw Riot :-))
