05/05 CUBS (Lilly) @ Pittsburgh (Morton) 6:05 CDT, CSN+

[Schwarber Fan]

2 out hit :shock:

[bushwoodcc]

I'm happy that Aram didn't A) strikeout and B) ground in a double play. Considering his slump, that wasn't bad.

[Ballgame64]

Good job Fontenot, 3-2. But just the Cubs luck that would bounce off the stands like that so the runners couldn't get an extra base. Come on Koyie Hill.

[Ballgame64]

I think Morton had 29 pitches through 3 innings. He now has 56, so they made him work that inning.

 

Come on Ted, you need to have a shut down inning after the offense got a couple of runs.

Ballgame.

 

good call

Milton Bradley asked for time away from the Mariners to deal with personal issues. He's supposed to be unavailable for a few days. Has anyone heard any additional details?

[Ballgame64]

Can't beat a 2-6-4 double play.

No, they made people who make trite remarks look really obnoxious.

Yeah. He's a raging nutbag.

As obnoxious as trolling about Byrd being hurt?

Considering how highly you regard imb, I'm glad you're using him as a standard for behavior.

Should've been a 4 pitch BB

You didn't answer my question.

 

It's not hard. Yes or no?

trolling? funny definition of that word. i heard he was injured and i'm just looking for confirmation since I cant watch the game tonight.

What's wrong with Byrd?

[Sammy Sofa]

What's wrong with Byrd?

 

Possible stress fracture. We're keeping an eye out.

[Garwilly]

OK, there is way too much stupid flying around this thread. Enjoy the game.

Yes, sarcastic remarks like "ballgame", or "of course something not good happened, it's the cubs", are orders of magnitude worse than speculating on Byrd being hurt, regardless of how valid the claim is.

 

Your posts are not for your own benefit. Think.

After scoring two runs and making Morton work a little, the genius Cubs make him throw 8 whole pitches to get through the 5th. Theriot has seen 6 pitches in 3 at bats. I'd sure like to know what the hell goes through his mind. Lilly grounds out to lead off the inning and before he sits down, Theriot makes an out. That is just stupid.

[Careless]

Theriot has a higher pitches/PA than Byrd (just pointing out a surprising fact) Edited May 6, 2010 by Careless

Thanks dad.

 

And it wasn't sarcastic, either. And it reflects more on the people who call me out more than it does on me when I'm called out while still being technically right.

[Old Style]

FYI- I wasn't serious about the "ballgame" post a while back. I thought that was a running joke on the game threads. I guess I was wrong. On a happier note, did you hear the story about Bob Brenly telling the cops that a duckling needed to be saved? What a great guy.
