8/7 Cubs (Big Z) @ Rockies (Jimenez) 8:10 PM; CSN; WGN Radio

[NotSoSober]

Lou needs to get in this guys face.

[cheapseats]

How can you guys be criticizing Bob for pointing out Soriano's non-hustle? You're OK with him being lazy and dogging it on every hit?

 

It's unprofessional.

[Sammy Sofa]

This ump is a [expletive].

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, hey, it's the [expletive] Spark.

 

Must be nice having non-midget middle infielders.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Theriot's strike three wasn't even close.

 

 

Bob looked like a dummy trying to criticize Soriano. Soriano didn't lollygag to first base, he did what he was supposed to. He had the play in front of him and didn't try to take the extra base when there was going to be a guy on third with 2 outs and the play at 2nd would've been close.

[E.J.]

So that's what happens when you have someone over 5'4" playing infield. Huh.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fuld, pinch hitting for Samardzija, lined out to shortstop

[E.J.]

Bradley needs to go deep right now.

[Ballgame64]

How can you guys be criticizing Bob for pointing out Soriano's non-hustle? You're OK with him being lazy and dogging it on every hit?

 

For one, the play meant nothing after Fontenot struck out. Two, why the hell didn't he rip Fukudome for swing at the first pitch and hitting into an inning ending double play? Three, why didn't he rip Ramirez and Soto for having terrible at bats in front of Soriano? Four, there are a lot of things to be critical about but in that case I thought it wasn't necessary.

 

We all wish players would treat every at bat like it was there last and would hustle all the time, but that is not the case. When the lack of hustle actually makes a difference in the outcome of an inning, say whatever you want.

[Sammy Sofa]

So the 1-2 guys have been on, what 6 out 7 AB's tonight?

[bcl412]

Please get on Bradley and lets see if Lee can hit it through the invisible wall in left field this time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome walked

[NotSoSober]

AT least Jiminez is gone. How's the Rockies bullpen?

[erik316wttn]

So the 1-2 guys have been on, what 6 out 7 AB's tonight?

 

We certainly need to stick with that 1-2.

[Schwarber Fan]

God, outside of the Mets this season, I can't imagine watching any other team's games is this consistently brutal.

 

Bradley'll walk and then Lee will fly to the wall again, just watch.

[illiniguy]

The guy coming in is good per the rockies guys.

The Royals have been hard to watch

[Fred Hornkohl]

Daley in to pitch for Colorado

[Roast]

lol @ bill welke. haha

[Sammy Sofa]

I'd like to think Lou was paying attention but he'll probably just focus on that they lost and think he needs to rearrange again.

The Nationals (although they've played well the last week or so)

[cheapseats]

Daley in to pitch for Colorado

 

Richard Daley?

 

I bet he'd throw a mean spitball.
