05/03 CUBS (Dempster) @ Los Angeles (Billingsley), 9:10 WGN

[Careless]

Does Coati not understand the concept of splits, or what?

 

Is "Coati" the new "Cobs"?

If Cobs was intentional and suggested ears of corn, maybe

[Sammy Sofa]

not sure i'm a fan of giving the other team an out with a guy whose obp is almost .500

 

What? No way. The rookie of the month or whatever the [expletive] was up next. Clearly that's proof that Darwin Barney is the guy that gets [expletive] done and will forever.

When is the rookie of the month press conference?

[Sammys Boombox]

Cubs did a wonderful job of manufacturing a run out of that leadoff hit.

Right after the "batting Starlin Castro 3rd makes Mike Quade the Manager of the Universe for Life" press conference.

Granted I've only seen bits and pieces of the Cubs most of the year, but it seems like Castro has been a popup machine lately.

 

I'm aware his season line is still better than last years tho, but he's certainly cooling off a bit.

[TruffleShuffle]

castro's hitting is making me sad lately.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Plenty of good seats still available.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Where was that pitch?

[Guest]

Len: "Carroll has faced Kerry Wood twice in his career and he's walked both times."

 

Cue Woody striking Carroll out on three pitches.

Teams seem to have realize that he's going to be able to attack prety much any fastball you send his away so they're giving him a lot more offspeed stuff. Definitely going to be a big period of adjustment, and it would be nice if Quade quit dicking him around and just left him in the #2 spot.

[Careless]

If that were a Bulls game, Pena would have yelled "gimme that [expletive]" as he snapped the ball up

[Sammy Sofa]

Broxton is so red. Must be that healthy Kenny Powers-esque physique.

 

Jesus, how did Aramis do nothing with those first two pitches?

[PrimeTime]

Used to seeing Broxton throw 95-100 mph, wonder whats up with him? Aramis shouldve done something with those first 2 pitches

[Guest]

Come on, Carlos.

 

Sit on that fastball.

[NotSoSober]

I won't say it, but we know what's coming here

[Guest]

I won't say it, but we know what's coming here

 

A Fonzie-bomb?

[Sammy Sofa]

I won't say it, but we know what's coming here

 

Fonso-bombo?

[Sammy Sofa]

What a weird [expletive] sequence.

[Tryptamine]

I won't say it, but we know what's coming here

 

A Fonzie-bomb?

 

Nope, people are on base.

[otis89]

QUIT STALLING!

[Guest]

What a weird [expletive] sequence.

What's going on? I'm stuck on gamecast

[Guest]

That's a major league stall job by the Dodgers.

 

Infielders talk to the pitcher.

Catcher talks to the pitcher.

Pitcher steps off once.

Pitcher turns and wheels towards second.

Manager finally comes out to remove pitcher but talks to him until the ump comes out before taking the ball.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Where's Sulley when we need him? That was simply "shameful and ungentlemanly" by the Dodgers.

Thanks - figured it must be something like that
