08/01 CUBS (Zambrano) @ Pittsburgh (Maholm) 6:05 CDT,CSN+ TV

[Ballgame64]

Six pitch first inning for the Cubs offense and Geo sees 7 pitches in drawing a walk to leadoff the 2nd inning.

Is it me or does the grass in center field look like....a.....snatch?

 

Shutup BeerHere!

ok

[UMFan83]

Someone tell me why Colvin isn't starting? Quade needs to stop managing for his job.

 

LH SP

 

Part of evaluating him these last two months should be to see if he can hit LHP. Tell me what we gain from having Reed starting?

 

As of about a week ago, Quade was still talking about winning the division this year. It will take a hell of a lot more than 20 games under .500 for him to play anything but his best out there.

lol Lee hit a home run off Z

[Ballgame64]

Castro with a 3 hit night. Big Z needs to throw strikes.

[Careless]

lol, Lee homering off of Z and Wood

[Ballgame64]

Insurance run :yahoo:

 

Huge two out rbi double by Reed Johnson.

[Ballgame64]

1...2...3 ninth for Marmol. Nice win by the Cubs against a team that has given them trouble the last couple of years. They go for their 2nd three game winning streak tomorrow.

[Illini Iceman]

Yay

[Derwood]

Way to spoil Derrek Lee's night and crush the hopes of the Pirates.

 

Stupid Cnbs

[TruffleShuffle]

Look, seriously, the Venn Diagram of "players who are untouchable" and "first basemen who bat seventh" should NOT INTERSECT.

 

so he's just ignoring that pena was hitting 7th because the opposing pitcher was lefthanded? i mean, ryan howard should bat 8th or just should not play against LHP, but plenty of teams would be interested in him (if his contract weren't a disaster obviously)

ok

 

I made that comment to a Pirates fan last week and they didn't appreciate it.

 

Seriously, that has to be the purpose of the design.
