For those listening on the radio or following on Gameday, Castro just hit that ball roughly as hard as Glenallen Hill's famous home run, and it hit the outfielder in the chest at the warning track.

 

Pat was saying the outfielder screwed it up because he thought it was out for sure.

 

Yeah, it was mashed. That said, Heisey was essentially camped under it.

I can only image he looked up and saw it sailing out of the yard, just to see the wind literally push it back into his vision, and thus he dropped it.

[dfnowak]

Cubs lead the league in SB allowed.

Is that an indictment of the pitchers, catchers or Marlins?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bailey struck out swinging (bunting foul)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cozart singled to right field, Mesoraco to second

He ran back to the wall as if it were out, but turned square to it and had plenty of time to watch himself muff it. It was bad.

[Rizzo Smash]

I know this knife cuts both ways, but I really, really hate cold weather, wind blowing in baseball at Wrigley. Hate it.

It seems like it always benefits the other team even though it's the same both ways.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Stubbs doubled to right field, Mesoraco & Cozart scored

[MWV]

So much for those 2 runs...

[Schwarber Fan]

brutal

Geo was making some great throws, so I'm thinking it has a lot to do with the Marlins and something to do with pitchers and less to do with Geo. Clevenger seems to have a feeble arm, though.

I just hate it with this current Cubs offense.

Wind blew that one out of DeJesus's reach.

 

Volstad's ERA is up to 6.60, but it's a good 6.60. Unlucky.

I've always hated it. It sucked when we had a bunch of power hitters, too.

LOL, again.
