Mineaswell save him for next year.

[utkcub]

I'd take the pirates lineup over ours today, jesus barney at 3rd?

[UMFan83]

If we lose today, I believe we will have lost every series played this year against a team that might lose 110 games.

 

I think we "split" one series against them because of a rainout, but we lost the makeup game.

[Jake]

20-something % of our wins are against the cubs.

Baker was in the original lineup at 3B but he was scratched with a sore achilles. I don't know what's up with Aramis (unless this was a scheduled off day for him).

[soapy]

doesn't sound good for Gorzelanny. Anyone see it?

Come backer hit his pitching hand, didn't break the skin at all. Something may very well be broken, but he didn't seem to be in a ton of pain.

[BeerHere]

What happened to Gorz?

Heh...Pat and Ron acted like he was in absolute agony. Mentioned he's headed to the hospital for x-rays immediately.

 

Hoping for a strong finish to the season for Gorzelanny was one of the few things worth watching for me so I hope he's okay.

Well initially he collapsed and was clearly in pain. Plus there was the initial scare of "Did it get him in the head?" But when O'neal came out Gorz was rather composed, they discussed, and then headed off.

[lumafia]

Rob Dibble just called Gorz a [expletive].

[UMFan83]

Didn't something similar happen to Gorzelanny last year shortly after coming here?

 

BTW, Koyie Hill's last 4 ABs: 1) single, 2) 2 run HR, 3) doubled and scored, 4) Out 5) RBI double

HUh? Was the out a sacrifice?

thats 5 AB!

[Bull]

No team needs two McCutchens.

[Jake]

You can have Daniel.

[Careless]

Well he's on fire.

 

and I'm annoyed we're probably going to win this

[Schwarber Fan]

LOL @ those not falling into the basket... don't you wonder how the OF doesn't wander under it and watch it land in the basket? Same thing on DeWitt's shot against Bell.

 

Whatever, I need the Marmol save.

I didn't know he had another AB in the game yesterday (which was an out) until after I posted it.

But......, you posted 4 AB and listed the 5 different at bats, no?

[jersey cubs fan]

Are you really that desperate for a win Quade? Marmol shouldn't be attempting 4 out saves.

[J.R.]

Classy move by Ricketts to go to the trouble of having Dutchie and Pete Vonachen out for the ceremony - classy move to have a ceremony at all.
