4/17 Astros (Oswalt) at Cubs (Gorzelanny) 12:05 pm CSN

[J.R.]

Mackey Sasser in reverse.

[Guancous]

It's hard to believe that's Soto's 1st double this year. He's been hitting lasers for the last 10 days.

[laurens]

Excellent choice PHing Z right there :roll:

[Guest]

Excellent choice PHing Z right there :roll:

 

It was a very good decision.

[Drew Doughty]

yep. absolutely the right choice.

[GlassCow]

Cubs hitters are gonna have to start swinging at that pitch a foot outside that Oswalt is getting gifted to him.

[Guancous]

I'd rather have Z bat in the 5th than batting in the 8th because no one is left on our bench.

[Ski]

Apparently it's too hard to hit a fastball over the plate (sorry, I'm a bit irritated by other things today. I'm venting).

[Old Style]

Are we facing Roy Oswalt or Cy Young?

[Ski]

[expletive] it, I'm done watching this game.

[Drew Doughty]

Are we facing Roy Oswalt or Cy Young?

 

roy oswalt is one of the best pitchers of the last decade. hard to get too irritated about him shutting us down. if you looked at the matchups before the series, this was the throwaway game. and we're still not out of it by any stretch. hopefully they can make him work and make his next inning his last.

[bcl412]

Today just didn't feel like a day where the Cubs would score much. Hopefully they can get some runs late.

[bcl412]

How the eff is JR Towles 3-3 with a home run?

[TruffleShuffle]

looks like meph was right about this towles guy after all!!!

[E.J.]

What the hell was that 7th inning stretch?

[GlassCow]

We've reached a new low. McLuvin just did the stretch.

[inari]

I'm officially for abolishing the celebrity 7th inning stretch.

[GlassCow]

Hanging curveball. Once upon a time, Soriano would have crushed that onto Waveland, wind or not.

[A-Cal]

Did McLovin just say dick on the air?

[bcl412]

Did McLovin just say dick on the air?

 

Yes.

[Guancous]

Did McLovin just say dick on the air?

 

Yes.

 

What was the context? That dude was good in Role Models too.

[Andy]

I think in my game thread starts the Cubs offense averages about .8 runs per game.

[Old Style]

I'm officially for abolishing the celebrity 7th inning stretch.

Just don't suggest that Santo do it every day or Nuts&Gum will get pissy.

[bcl412]

Did McLovin just say dick on the air?

 

Yes.

The crowd around the booth was chanting McLovin' I assume and he said that they should be upset because the Cubs are losing but instead they are chanting for him so he felt like a dick.

Ya gotta keep the celebrity stretch in case Mr. T or Ozzy show up in town tho. Also ya gotta bring back the old radio attendance game that would piss Ron off so much.
