08/22 Meh (Lilly) vs. Dodgers (Haeger) 3:15 CDT, FOX TV

[DivineBovine]

At least 1 guy came to play.

[Monco]

I don't consciously hear any of this boring broadcast until jarringly Aaron Miles making an out breaks through into my awareness. I'm cursed.

 

It was the shock that Miles hit one out of the infield on the fly.

[Hall7810]

I'm sure there will be some more mockery of his defense.

[Radar3454]

wow

[chuckywang]

Play Sam Fuld everyday

[E.J.]

It's good to know at least 1 guy on the team wants to play baseball.

[illiniguy]

Nice play Derrek.

[chuckywang]

Nice play Derrek.

 

I would rather take a strike than a chance at a low percentage diving catch.

[UMFan83]

At least 1 guy came to play.

 

It reminds me of Major League II when everyone in the dugout is busy bickering and fighting and the catcher (Baker?) bunts for a hit, steals 2nd and hustles home for the tying run on a single (I think that's right) despite dealing with an injured ankle. The whole team is looking blah and he's flying all over the field making plays.

[laurens]

Who's pitching for the Dodgers tomorrow?

[illiniguy]

Who's pitching for the Dodgers tomorrow?

Billingsley

Billingsley

 

So we're gonna get swept. Awesome.

Ignite a spark, maybe? D Lee was inspired!!

[laurens]

Wow, a hit!

[DivineBovine]

I have about as much confidence in the Cubs winning today as I have in the last place Padres beating Chris Carpenter.

[illiniguy]

The Padres are still trying. Can all of our guys say the same thing?

Yeah I think most if not all are still trying. They just suck.

They are awful then. 3 runs against the three pitchers we have faced this series. That's pathetic.

Yup, 3 runs in our first 22 innings of the series

[DivineBovine]

Well, just gotta tip your cap to the Cy Young caliber pitching the Cubs seem to be running into every single game.

[UMFan83]

hhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee ruuuuuuuuuuuuun

That got me thinking. Who has come to play this year? I can only come up with a few.

 

Theriot, Lilly, Lee, Guzman, Fuld, Fukudome, and Wells.

 

Guys who have mailed it in?

 

BRADLEY! SORIANO!, SOTO!, are the three worst offenders. You can include Dempster, Gregg, Heilman, Miles, Hoffpauir, Samardzija, and Fontenot.

 

Marginal guys...

 

Marmol, Marshall, Harden, Ramirez, Zambrano, Hill

[UMFan83]

That was a very nice hit by Soto. It almost dropped in there.

[ER Cub]

I don't know, Soto looks like he couldn't get lucky in a brothel with a mouth full of twenties right now. Hits it hard every time, somebody always makes a good play.

[Schwarber Fan]

Any video streams for this mess?
