7/3 Cubs (Zambrano) vs. Nationals (Drese) 1:20 PM, WGN

[Brian]

Dempster is up 3rd in the 10th.

[Mark Priors Calves]

An interesting second inning of work for Dempster here. Let's hope he can maintain his stuff.

I <3 DEMP

That is nice thing about your closer being a converted starter, he can sometimes strecth to two innings of work.

[Brian]

I so want Doob to hit a walk off.

[marc_foust]

I think a CPatt walkoff could do alot for his confidence.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jon, now tell me again how slipping a guy with a .381 OBP in ahead of Ramirez is gonna statistically lower his chances to drive in more runs, eh?

Because Derrek Lee's OBP is .457.

 

.... and he leads the world in home runs, no ?

[Cubbies7]

Strike 3!!!

[Brian]

Awesome K.

 

Andruw Jones has the most Home runs.

[Chris]

I can appreciate the crowd getting in the game

[YearofDaCubs]

Gentlemen, we have found our closer.

[Flames24Rulz]

i would also like a CPatt walk off...heck i'd take a walkoff from anyone :)

Do we PH for Neifi? Or only in my dreams. Also who hits for Demp?

Cedeno or Dubois would be my guess.

[JGalt73]

does the ump understand that pitches shin high and 4 inches outside ARE NOT strikes?

 

Except that one!

[Brian]

a CPatt walk-off would help his confidence, but what about a bottom of the 10th 2 out strike out = unmerciful booing.

Unfortunatly that is a part of major league sports.

1 every 12 ABs, yes. But what about the other 11? If you were to take HRs out of the equation, Lee's OBP is still going to be higher than Burny's.

fortunately corey can go home and count his money to feel better,

[chicubs]

good ol reliable neifi. In other news, cubs prospect Ronny Cedeno dies from boredom.
