Get the hitter. Nick Johnson isn't going anywhere.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit, why is everyone having so much trouble throwing strikes tonight?

[illiniguy]

Awesome. Aram just struck out on 3 balls nowhere near the strike zone.

 

I love Ramy and he certainly has his clutch moments but every once in awhile he comes up with RISP and has this wild big swinging mentality up there. I don't even really know what that means but it makes sense to me.

 

It just means he doesn't hit 1.000 with RISP. :shrug:

He should try to do that.

[Andy]

Dammit, why is everyone having so much trouble throwing strikes tonight?

Because we are throwing out pitchers who often have trouble throwing strikes.

[Andy]

Thanks for that out, Fredi.

[Sammy Sofa]

NAILED.

[C.C.]

Sweet! Thanks Marlins!

you were saying?

[erik316wttn]

Why the hell do you send Nick Johnson there, especially with the way Cubs pitchers are struggling tonight?

[E.J.]

Carpenter is a good pitcher.

[shnsajax]

Nice play Theriot

[DiamondMind]

So many two out hits...

[illiniguy]

Get the hitter. Nick Johnson isn't going anywhere.

you were saying?

Ok, he's going back to the bench. I was wrong.

[Sammy Sofa]

Slowpoke McNoRange strikes again.

 

It's not complicated, Lou. Flipflop Blanco and Theriot.

[Andy]

Carpenter is a good pitcher.

Seems like throwing over 110 pitches is a dumb idea for a guy with his history. But who am I to question the Great Genius, I guess?

 

We better win and stay a half-game out.

[illiniguy]

Carpenter is a good pitcher.

Yeah, but I don't get why you would ever let him throw 110 plus pitches.

[C.C.]

Carpenter is a good pitcher.

 

He can pitch a little...

[illiniguy]

Slowpoke McNoRange strikes again.

 

It's not complicated, Lou. Flipflop Blanco and Theriot.

Blanco is out.

[Sammy Sofa]

Still alive.

[C.C.]

Hey, hey!!! THEY DIDNT SCORE!

[C.C.]

put me down for two runs here. Edited August 2, 2009 by C.C.

[erik316wttn]

Hey, hey!!! THEY DIDNT SCORE!

 

The miracles never cease.

[Outshined_One]

Hey, hey!!! THEY DIDNT SCORE!

 

Let's hope they keep that up and the Cubs do the opposite.

[chitown29]

Score some runs Cobs.

[Sammy Sofa]

Slowpoke McNoRange strikes again.

 

It's not complicated, Lou. Flipflop Blanco and Theriot.

Blanco is out.

 

Didn't he hit after Theriot was put in?
