Did they barely get Pierre at first?

[BeerHere]

Only three outs to go.

 

 

[chicubs]

Nice DP.

 

Anyone wanna bet Wuertz gets sent down tomorrow?

\

 

Van Buren anyone?

[E.J.]

Nice DP.

 

Anyone wanna bet Wuertz gets sent down tomorrow?

 

Might as well take another AA guy to replace him. Bring up Aardsma. :D

How have we issued 9 walks and still have a lead?

[otis89]

Only three outs to go.

 

 

 

*GULP*

[PackLandVA]

What could possibly be gained by letting a pitcher throw 120 pitches when he's not pitching well and has a 5-run lead?

 

Another loss the way the Cubs bully is right now.

[otis89]

How have we issued 9 walks and still have a lead?

 

I haven't been watching the game, but I'd assume what just happened. Double plays.

there's the rain delay

[Schwarber Fan]

Imagine this rotation:

 

Prior

Wood

Zambrano

Garland

Willis

Maddux

 

OMG this was possible :shock:

Maddux

 

OMG this was possible :shock:

 

A 6-man rotation?

[Chris]

I just got the baby to sleep...and I'm not reading through the entire game thread...

 

But.... I just have one thing to say. This better have earned Murton another start.

 

And thanks DJAXX for helping me get that Murton jersey.

 

Did you wear it today or is it in a frame already?

[PackLandVA]

Wouldn't need Maddux if we had Garland and Willis.

[BeerHere]

I know this doesn't belong here, but I don't get much of a chance to post these days...so take this for what it's worth.

 

I'm definitly in favor of sending down Corey and Dubois. A message needs to be sent. Neifi needs to be the next target IMO. It shouldn't have taken so long for Dusty to realize thatt Neifi and Corey at the top of the order were absolutely killing the offense.

seriously :hope: :hope:

[sethuel1]

Yay! We get to listen to Hawk now!

[Omar]

Yay! We get to listen to Hawk now!

 

[BeerHere]

Seriously, how good is Cabrera?

Please call the game!!

[BeerHere]

Get off the Garland bandwagon. He's had exactly one good half, the rest of his career has been pretty mediocre. The trade sucked, and still does, but lets not hand him the AL Cy Young just yet.

Zambrano

Garland

Maddux

If we had Garland and Willis, then we wouldnt have thought about getting Maddux..
