7/17 Pirates (Wells) at Cubs (Zambrano), WGN 1:20 CT

[Blueheart05]

Neifi hits a double down the line

 

Grabow sucks

[otis89]

Zambrano at 86 pitches.

 

Not much point in letting him go one more.

 

Naw, the game is gettin close to being out of hand. I would like for some relievers to get some work in.

 

That's what he was saying. He said to take Z out and getting some relievers some work.

[Flames24Rulz]

wish our offense was this good yesterday :wink:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Just wondering, did you notice you typed pitchers instead of pitches?

 

I'll fix that. Thanx !

Well, looks like that Dusty disagree with that logic. He's letting Zambrano bat.

vince looks a little hung over to me.

[otis89]

Barrett K's. Here comes Z.

Dusty and logic are usualy mutually exclusive terms...

I just got home and turned the game on in time to see Ramirez hit a homer, followed by Holla's single and Neifi's double. This pretty much sums up my thoughts for the last three minutes:

 

:shock: =D> \:D/

 

Can someone pls give me a quick catch-up of the game?

[otis89]

Z K's.

[TruffleShuffle]

I changed my mind, the Cubs are contenders to make the postseason... if they can play the Pirates every game for the rest of the season.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred,

 

Have you got any stats on the Cubs' success when the offense sees more pitches than less?

 

That's something I've been working on. Will have something up in a day or two.

I think they want him to pitch another inning. He hasn't pitched in 8 or 9 days because of the Break

It'd be a whole lot easier to get tickets.

Those two words look weird in the same sentence. :smurf:

Thanks. I was looking at BP, but all I could find is pitcher abuse. That could be an interesting thread, given our discussion of offensive patience and Dusty.

D-Lee hits a solo HR in the 1st. Cubs score 5 runs in the 3rd. Then follow it up with a Pittsburgh solo-HR in the 4th, but Burnitz gets that run back by a solo-HR.

Thanks. After attending all four games of the Atlanta series and not having been able to sit through a whole game since then, this would have been a great one to see.
