7/10 Cubs(maddux) @ Marlins(Leiter) 12:05 WGN. We still suck

[chicubs]

Hey guys I don't have much time here, but need some help. Do you have the address to e-mail Len and Bob in the booth during WGN games?

 

It's my girlfriend's birthday today (she's a big Cubs fan too) and I thought I would take a shot at it and see if they would mention it on air.

 

Thanks.

 

Anyone?

Has Barrett pretty much doubled his walk output in the past 3 days or what? :shock:

 

He's definitely seeing the ball well right now. Here's an interesting breakdown for you........

Thank you very much!

I had the Comcast address, but not WGN's.

Hey all--I just got home from church so I don't know if this has already been discussed, but why can Burnitz not get the day off against a lefty if it is soooooooooooooo very vitale that we get Holly a game. Also, why is dusty quoted as saying he just cannot let Holly not play for 8-9 days because it is not fair to him, but he can do it to a ROOKIE--ronny cedeno and it is no problem

 

I just don't understand this reasoning!--please help me

[Fred Hornkohl]

28 pitches for Leiter in the first. Only 9 for Maddux! That's as good a sign as any for this game.

 

edit: Sorry, it was 5 strikes and 9 pitches total.

This may have a lot to do with it......

Dude, his luck is starting to turn, dude.

[lowest]

perez with another hit today! :shock: :?

[chicubs]

Neifi gets a hit. yipee. Edited July 10, 2005 by chicubs

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dude, his luck is starting to turn, dude.

 

Moved Perez up to 7th, and put Holla 8th to protect him. See what a difference that makes ?? :wink:

[Mizzou]

Whoa. What the hell was Holly swinging at there!?

Dusty's a crafty one!

[NomarSammy]

But my question was why not take out another lefty Burnitz and leave in the guy who sparked us out of the losing streeak--Murton!

[Roast]

yuck

[Jon]

Just think of how many runs would be on the board right now if they weren't swining at junk in the dirt.

[Mizzou]

Whoa. What the hell was Holly swinging at there!?

 

And again, what the hell was he swinging at on strike three?

[Roast]

ITs raining there.

It is what it is, dude.

[Guancous]

Was that supposed to be a hit and run?

I think the fair answer is that Burnitz has been an everday player his entire career so he's used to facing lefties. Also, I think the word coming from the GM is that Murton will get the bulk of the playing time (or at least a chance to prove himself or trade value) so, as Dusty said, if Holla didnt get a start today he may not get one for well over a week.

[Jon]

What the...wasn't that trapped?

[Roast]

I Think he trapped that...

[Omar]

Perez doubled off..
