4/1 CUBS (Samardzija) @ PIT (Burnett) 12:35 WGN

[Sammy Sofa]

22 pitch first inning... let's hope he can be a little more economical in the next couple

 

Would have helped if the Black Hole of Maximum Suck wasn't manning 2B.

Flipping back and forth between the Cubs and Nats. Juan Pierre is still playing? He's in left now for the Miami Seabass.

Is jitters some kind of pet name for Lillibridge?

[Sosa21MVP]

Why can't they find a good radio partner for Pat rather than Keith Moreland? Ugh.

[jersey cubs fan]

Why are they batting a pitcher in front of Samardzija?

[SABR Gamer]

LOL, he's so bad.

[Banedon]

Brent Lillibridge...3 swinging strikes...The Cubs Way?

[Jake]

Just got out of a meeting.

 

Think I'll schedule another one.

[Guest]

Brent Lillibridge...3 swinging strikes...The Cubs Way?

 

Or just the Lillibridge way.

Aggressive,off the mark baseball.

 

I think so!

[SABR Gamer]

He has a better plate approach than Lillibridge.

Or just the Lillibridge way.

 

Len was very... strategically diplomatic when talking about him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

LOL, he's so bad.

 

To be fair, he ended up on our roster after an exhaustive search of Dale Sveum's Facebook friend list.

[Thed Hoyerstein]

Dear Valbuena and Lilibridge,

 

Good job, good effort.

[Banedon]

Do we not have any minor league middle infielders that can do a better job than that?

[Hawk4Hall]

Ha...Tuffy Rhoades.

 

19 years ago and I remember watching that game before a track meet in high school. I feel old.

Remember in like August 2011 when we thought "Well, no matter what else, we are *set* on sixth infielders for the next 10 years."

Yeah, like a half dozen of 'em but there's no point in starting their arb clocks and service time to fill the role.
