I'm coming up blank trying to remember the last time I saw a single that scores a runner from 1st. I'm sure it has happened.

 

Jerome Walton did it once back in 89 or 90.

.750 babip today after about .600 on monday.

Well at this point in the season the only thing Im rooting for is a bench clearing brawl with the arrogant punks on Milw.

 

I'd pay to see that...

 

I'd like to see Z vs. Braun, one on one. To the death.

 

Honestly, Z might be the last person in MLB I would want to have to fight.

 

Farnsworth?

[Soul]

Imagine having paid scalper prices for this slop. I almost feel sorry for these people.

 

Almost.

Almost.

My friend and I always go to Wrigley for a few days each year, and we haven't done it yet this year on account of him being unemployed. He just got his job back last week after a 17-month layoff so I was browsing September ticket prices on StubHub, and bleachers for the Giants series in September are going for 10 bucks.

 

The point is, scalper prices right now probably aren't too bad.

True. I'll bet many paid back when they were still expensive though.

 

Not that it matters. You pay, you take your chances. I've done it.

 

My mind just naturally turns to such thoughts when my team becomes a joke. How much did I pay for this, again? 8-)

[mookie]

Holy Moly! I forgot to watch this until just now. Diamond is already almost to 100 pitches through 4??? Blah. Hopefully it is just first start nerves.

@Carrie Muskat Former #Cubs No. 1 Draft pick Mark Prior has signed with Orange County Flyers of Independent Golden Baseball League

[Little Slide Rooter]

Its always fun to watch the punchless wonders make a really bad pitcher look really good. I really hope Ricketts goes on an epic cleaning spree this winter.

[shnsajax]

Damn 9 K's in 4 innings, not great on the 3 BB's but could be worse considering yesterday's game.

Kind of like Rich Harden in the fact that he'll K a lot of guys, but he'll also walk a lot of guys, and the end result is a high pitch count and a fairly short outing. granted the Brewers have a very aggresive lineup, but I like what I see so far.

You'd get your ass racky-tacked.

Solid 1st start from Tom Diamond: 6IP 7H 3R 3BB 10K.

I'm somewhat shocked that Lou allowed him to throw 122 pitches, though.

That type of abuse is why Prior is on the Orange County Flyers.

 

Man, imagine the Texas rotation if they kept DVD. (Danks-Volquez-Diamond)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Where did it hit him ?

[SouthSideRyan]

He really is a fat load

[SouthSideRyan]

Where did it hit him ?

 

Heading for his back, but he moved his elbow pad back there to block it.

Not much of a surprise considering the bullpen's been shot in the past few days. Diamond's 27, so I'm not too worried about that kind of use.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yet another great catch by Byrd.

[Careless]

Farthest Fuk has hit a ball here, I think

[SouthSideRyan]

I bet Kosuke and Fontenot just sit in the dugout the whole game cursing out everyone else.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been outscored in the 7th, 8th, & 9th innings combined 211-149

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Would be nice if he would get some of his velocity back though.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-35 when they trail by 2 runs or more at the end of the 7th inning

 

 

Go CUBS !!
