ST - 3/9 Brewers (Suppan) @ Cubs (Wells) 2:05 CST

[Outshined_One]

Too many cooks in the kitchen. I'll stop with the updates and leave it to you OO. Gotta get back to work anyway.

 

Sounds good.

 

Soto HBP.

[Outshined_One]

Wells with a deep fly out, Soriano scores, Fontenot moves to 3rd. Runners at the corners.

 

2-0 Cubs.

[Outshined_One]

Theriot Ks. Two outs for Fukudome.

[MWV]

Wells with a deep fly out, Soriano scores, Fontenot moves to 3rd. Runners at the corners.

 

2-0 Cubs.

 

I guess this suggests that wells is going 3 today.

[Outshined_One]

Fukudome grounds out. Going to the top of the 3rd, 2-0 Cubs.

[Outshined_One]

Wells starts the 3rd and racks up a K.

 

Then he gets a groundout for the next batter.

 

And then he gets Suppan to ground out on what sounded like a difficult play from Fontenot to Lee.

[Outshined_One]

Lee with an opposite field HR! 3-0 Cubs

 

Ramirez grounds out for the first out.

 

Byrd with a routine groundout to short for the second out.

 

Soriano Ks swinging for the third out.

[BeerHere]

Nice outing for Wells

[Outshined_One]

Marmol in for the Cubs.

 

Weeks with an IF single off of Ramirez's glove. Sounds like he short-armed it and he should have had it.

 

Counsell caught looking on strike 3 for the first out.

 

Weeks steals 2B, sounds like fault was on Marmol for a high pitch.

 

Gomez gets a knee-buckler slider on 3-2 called ball four, but was close. Runners on 1st and 2nd.

 

RBI Single for Prince Fielder. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 3-1 Cubs. Marmol left his breaking ball up.

 

Gomez gets a huge jump on Marmol and breaks for 3rd, Soto overthrows Ramirez and Gomez scores. 3-2 Cubs.

 

Edmonds strikes out swinging for the 2nd out.

 

3rd out is a K, didn't catch who was at the plate.

[Soul]

Well damn, I had to do something and missed the radio call for Lee's HR :x

[Outshined_One]

Vargas in for Milwaukee.

 

Fontenot flies out to LF for the first out.

 

Soto strikes out looking for the second out.

 

LaHair, PHing for Wells, flies out for the third out.

[Outshined_One]

Casey Coleman in for the Cubs. Neat.

 

First out (Heather? Heether?) is a broken bat groundout for the first out.

 

LuCroy with a pop out to right for the second out.

 

PH George Kottaras (I think) BBs.

 

Someone singled, runners at the corners.

 

Deep flyout to RF for the third out.

[Outshined_One]

Theriot leads off with a well-hit ball to LF, Edmonds makes it close, but Theriot gets in with a double.

 

Fukudome BBs.

 

Lee with a lineout to LF for the first out.

 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand boredom is setting in for Pat & Ron as they discuss sprained knees and LaTroy Hawkins pitching to Jonathan Lucroy.

 

Ramirez pops out to 1B for the second out.

 

Byrd with a DEEP fly out. Gomez gloved it, crashed into the wall, juggles the ball, and hangs on for the out.

[Outshined_One]

Coleman still pitching.

 

Strikes out the first batter.

 

Fielder grounds out to 1B for out #2.

 

Edmonds HBP.

 

RBI double for Jody Gerut off the wall, Edmonds beats the tag. 3-3 tie.

 

Surprisingly, Ron knows who Josh Vitters is.

 

Flyout for out #3.

[Outshined_One]

Halama in for the Brewers.

 

Soriano Ks swinging.

 

Pat apparently thinks the Cubs are playing Minnesota. Fontenot flies out to left.

 

Soto Ks swinging.

[Outshined_One]

Coleman in for the third straight inning. Weird.

 

Kottaras doubles.

 

First out is a popout to Castro, who's in at SS.

 

Coleman pulled. New pitcher (Marcos Mateo) coming in for the Cubs.

 

Salome flies out to Fuld for the second out.

 

Gomez lines out to left for the third out.

[Outshined_One]

Estrada in for Milwaukee.

 

Millar PHing and gets HBP.

 

Fuld lays down a sac bunt, Millar advances to 2B.

 

Castro hits a dribbler down the 3B line and gets the IF single. Millar safe at 3B.

 

Estrada nearly picked off Castro on what was a blatant balk.

 

Hoffpauir strikes out, Castro going on the swing, gets in safely at 2B...and overslides the bag, getting tagged out.

 

I've got some work to do, so I'm going to duck out.

Santo just interviewed Rick Sutcliffe. Talked about the 1985 season and how Sut tore his hammy trying to beat out a double play. At the time the Cubs were in first and cruising along. Two weeks later Sut is on the DL and the team is in 4th place.

 

Remember it like it was yesterday

I remember 1985 as well. Eventually the entire starting staff was on the DL and they had AA-quality pitchers who never played in the majors again in their starting rotation. I'm sure everybody remembers Johnny Abrego and the like.

 

Was that the year of the bad mayonaisse?

That I don't remember.

[MWV]

'Topes lose. 5-3.

.

one year the whole rotation was out with food poisoning. I'm thinking Sanderson, Trout, that crew, but that Sut was already out with a real injury

All of the pitchers were out due to injuries at the time I was thinking of, but it was possible they had food poisoning earlier in the season. For some reason I don't remember that.
