LOL@ Brenley. Saying the guys "buttons were on strike" :lol:

[Coach C]

Nice 1-2-3 inning.

[otis89]

Another 1-2-3 inning. Maddux is cruising.

[Stomper90]

Not sure if this was mentioed earlier... There are too many pages to sift through... But when Liter was pitching didn't it look as if he was cracking up and laughing? Especially when Maddux was trying to bunt?

I know it's a little early, but does anyone know when Maddux's last complete game was?

[otis89]

Nice patience, Hairston.

[otis89]

I appear to be talking to myself.

[mhuber92211]

I doubt Greenberg is available to play today, so with the already short bench, Dusty really can't afford to use up players this early.

 

I can understand that. Like most of us were complaining, the 12 pitchers. I think that is hurting us more than it's helping us IMHO.

As much as they talk about cutting the staff down to 11, I'd be quite surprised to see it happen.

 

And for no reason other than to spite Grieve's OBP.

 

Actually Greenberg isn't at the park I don't think. Pat mentioned earlier that in order for him to fly tonight he had to get an MRI for a concussion. If he plays today it would be a miracle.

Well, the tradition is that Maddux isn't supposed to throw a CG shutout until AFTER the All Star break. If it's a blowout in the 8th and/or 9th, there may be a pitcher that Dusty wants to let work.

[otis89]

Walker, who gave you permission to walk?

[Coach C]

I know it's a little early, but does anyone know when Maddux's last complete game was?

 

No. He had 2 last year.

 

Nice walk Walker.

[Buford T Justice]

Breenberg is there they showed him earlier

They showed Greeny in the dugout a few innings ago. He's there.

What are you talking about? He is on the bench I have seen him twice.

I'm pretty sure they showed both Greenberg and Murton on the bench earlier on WGN.

[otis89]

DLEE!!!!!!!! BYE BYE BALL!!!!!!!!!

[Coach C]

MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!

 

LEE!!!!

[Blueheart05]

D Lee with the 2 run Bomb!

[Roast]

[E.J.]

That Derrek Lee guy is pretty good. :smokin:

[badger1679666666]

Oppo HR - Lee's a beast.

[Jon]

Hahaha. Did everyone see that? Some police were escorting a group of fans out and one of them was holding up a sign for Lee after the HR. The officer then had to tap him on his shoulder to tell him to keep on walking.

[Stomper90]

Put in the 3 kids now!!!!!

Well considering that I am listening to Pat & Ron thus I can't see the game, I was going off of what I heard. Regardless the odds he is in the game are slim if he indeed had an MRI.
