7/15 Cubs(Wood) vs. Pirates(Fogg) 1:20 CSN. Puhleeze

[Blueheart05]

Lawton out on a called strike. 2 down

[goonys evil twin]

Has anyone mentioned Craig as an option for LF from our AAA team from Pittsburgh? And is there any reason why he wouldn't be shopped? What's his contract status?

 

I'd be very interested in Wilson. One concern is that he took a step back and hasn't returned to his 2003 form. And two is that he's been injury prone.

 

My guess is he wouldn't cost too much in terms of prospects, but he'd also be a perfect emergency catcher, and would be another reason to get rid of Macias, who might end up being a perennial utility man for the Cubs since no other GM seems to value his game besides Hendry. He is a very solid OBP man as well.

yeah I think he will be a great utility guy, can he still catch at all?

[Coach C]

1-2-3 inning!

 

Much better Wood.

[Butterscup1679666578]

1-2-3 but with some deep counts Kerry's up to 40 pitches. Let's pile on the runs.

[YearofDaCubs]

Wood tends to give up those solo shots.

 

He's the pitching equivelant of Corey Patterson

 

*ducks*

 

 

(only kidding...)

no he isn't he's white. No way will Chicago turn on him like it has our players the past 4 years.

 

Are you implying Cubs fans are racist?

kinda makes one wonder.

Alf

Sosa

Hawkins

Patterson

but as pointed out Hundley got it bad.

 

But we also loved Sosa (when he was good), gave Alou a break when he sucked in 2002 and stretches of the next two years despite a big contract.

 

We hated Alf, Sosa, Hawkins, Patterson because they sucked

 

We also hated Estes when he sucked too

And Hundley

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We've looked a whole lot better the past five games. Let's hope we can keep it up.

[Flames24Rulz]

DLee with a 1 out single.

[Blueheart05]

DLee singles to left.

[otis89]

Lee's average is now at .377. 8)

[badger1679666666]

1-2-3 but with some deep counts Kerry's up to 40 pitches. Let's pile on the runs.

 

40 pitches in 3 innings is exceptionally low pitch count. 13 pitches an inning is great.

[goonys evil twin]

yeah I think he will be a great utility guy, can he still catch at all?

 

I wouldn't use him as my primary backup, but he'd be fine as a emergency guy. I wouldn't consider him utility, but I'd get him lots of starts in LF and a few at first.

[Coach C]

Burnitz upset at himself for missing that pitch. He knew it right off that he could had a hit on that.

[Flames24Rulz]

Burnitz now 2 for 2. 1st and 3rd only 1 out.

[Coach C]

Hit and run is a successful one.

 

Runners on corners now. 1 out.

[Blueheart05]

Burny singles

 

First and third

 

one out

[Flames24Rulz]

ARAM BOMB!!!

 

6-1!

[otis89]

Come on, ARam. Let's get a run or three here.

[Coach C]

BOOM!

 

A-Bomb! :D

[goonys evil twin]

1-2-3 but with some deep counts Kerry's up to 40 pitches. Let's pile on the runs.

 

40 pitches in 3 innings is exceptionally low pitch count. 13 pitches an inning is great.

 

He's on pace for a 120 pitch complete game. Although it's doubtful he gets that, I wouldn't call that high or low. Exceptionally low would be under 10 per inning, something Maddux at his best and Lieber would do. High is over 16.

 

 

 

 

Welcome back Mr. Ramirez.

[Blueheart05]

Rammy with a 3 run jack! :lol:

[badger1679666666]

Well for everyone who threw a coniption fit in the first inning (myself included) Fogg will have more pitches through 3 than Wood.

[illiniguy]

yeah baby. man i hope we can do this all second half.
