I really like this Marlon Byrd fella.

[JonJayCutler]

Did anyone else think that was a lazy pop?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Marlon doesnt want Tyler taking his job.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wow...Byrd!

[NotSoSober]

Byrd sure does hustle around the bases

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, that looked effortless given how hard it was hit.

Come on, Tyler. Lets go back-to-back here.

Our outfielder from Texas with the initials M.B. is good.

I did off the bat, but then I perked up when I heard the inflection in Brenley's voice.

Really? I knew that was gone the second he hit that. He freaking crushed it.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

I'm calling nonsense on people thinking Byrd will hit less than 20 Hr's. He has much more power than I thought

"Sore right side" for chipper

[OleMissCub]

Byrd is strong.

 

Already with 15% of the HR's that Milton hit last year.

[Careless]

.222 OBP and .889 SLG, he really is the anti-Bradley /sarc

[Yeti]

i'm just curious as to when we're gonna score a run w/o the help of a HR

I saw it out of the corner of my eye because I'm using half the screen to type on here and the other half to watch the game. The little Windows 7 "snap" feature from the commercial with that annoying guy.

We had a sac fly and fielder's choice last night

Is it me or does Byrd remind you of Glenallen Hill at the plate?

He is ridiculously strong. Not the best at getting contact but with the relatively easy left field fence in Wrigley he should have a good amount of HR's. I remember DLee in 2005 when asked what the difference was said something about having the realization that if he just turned on it a bit more he could loft the ball down the line for a HR rather than trying to power through it and have a warning track hit to left-center.

I freaking loved Glenallen Hill. He was probably my 2nd favorite Cub.
