5/23 Cubs (Silva) @ Rangers (Wilson) 1:05 CDT, WGN TV

[J.R.]

Shutdown inning please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

So Nady was safe?

 

Yes, Treanor did a piss poor job of blocking the plate and Nady got a hand on the plate before he was tagged.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Guerrero grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[J.R.]

WTH

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-14 when they get a quality start.... 5-10 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Old Style]

Not sure why Silva needed to be taken out here. Especially for Grabow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Grabow in to pitch for the CUBS

[sweetpeteman]

Once again, Lou doesn't pay any attention to splits.

[JonJayCutler]

Is this happening?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hamilton singled to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cruz popped out to shallow right field

[J.R.]

Ricketts needs to meet Lou in the parking lot, first class ticket to Tampa in hand.

 

"We'll send your [expletive] via parcel post."

[JonJayCutler]

Brenly really laying into Lou right now.

[ctcf]

WHAT THE HELL?

 

Is Lou legitimately, seriously drunk? Why in God's name was Silva taken out?

[The Hot Dog Guy]

oh boy, Grabow is in, what could go wrong?

[sweetpeteman]

I would rather play with fire with Silva then blow up the game with Grabow.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[JonJayCutler]

The fact that it worked out okay doesn't make it any better of a move. Lou needs to go.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We dodged a Grablow there, I just hope he doesnt come out for the 7th. Of course that could also be Bullet Bobs return. The possibilities are endless, and very frightening.

[The Hot Dog Guy]

So Nady was safe?

 

Yes, Treanor did a piss poor job of blocking the plate and Nady got a hand on the plate before he was tagged.

 

 

actually i didnt think the job was that bad. He gave Nadya funk angle. At where he was on the plate, having his legs like that is actually kinda hard t get passed. Sometimes guys close up the legs to much and guys can slide around it easily

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-5 when they lead at the end of the 6th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!
