4/23 Meh (Dempster) vs Brewers (Suppan) 7:10p WGN, XM187

[Fred Hornkohl]

Braun grounded into a FC, 6-4, Weeks out at second

[Sammy Sofa]

Come the [expletive] on. I'm already very sick of seeing the bobble on the DP.

[Little Slide Rooter]

The Prince Fielder 2 run jack is inevetable.

[JoshiQ]

Well, at least the defense is playing like the Cobs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Only problem I have with the lineup tonight is Soto being behind some really poor hitters.

 

Soto is not playing.

Oh I thought that Bob said Soto threw the ball into centerfield. My bad. Nice role Cajuns.

 

Len actually did say that.

[chuckywang]

Geaux Cubs

[Roast]

 

Again, 17 games into the season and he's only had 9 AB. Replacing him should not be anywhere near the top of the Cubs' priority list. He's not making or breaking this team.

Never did I say that it should be near the top of their priority list. I just said he doesn't have a place on the team. And let's not pretend that this is just a crappy start. Last year he hit .237/.306/.389. He's not that good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fielder doubled to center field , Braun to third

[Roast]

Uh, yeah that's gone...

[Schwarber Fan]

That was gone

 

good call whoever said it

[illiniguy]

Can we please get Castro up and at least one of the crappy cajuns out of the lineup.

[Careless]

so close

[Roast]

Wait, so if it hits the yellow line it's not a HR?

[Garwilly]

Sit there at 2nd fat boy

[chuckywang]

Well, Len said it wasn't a HR.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Wait, so if it hits the yellow line it's not a HR?

 

Nope. Has to clear the fence there. Dempster dodged a bullet.....and so did Fontenot, for now.

[Garwilly]

There is yellow on the face of the wall., that is in play.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have hit at least one double in each of their last 12 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

I thought it hit high off the big wall in CF

[Roast]

Dodged a major bullet. *whew*

[chuckywang]

Ho ho ho Brewers

[Sosa21MVP]

Wait, so if it hits the yellow line it's not a HR?

 

Well yeah the ball has to at least clear the wall to be a HR.

 

Haha Brewers get nothing. :-))

[Hall7810]

Good thing for us Braun went into a little trot.

No, it clearly didn't hit the batters eye. I just thought that the yellow line was like the foul pole. If it hits it, it's gone.
