C'mon Dustbag, get someone warming up in the 'pen.

[Omar]

Casey HBP. 2 hit batters in the game.

[Coach C]

Ugh. This really drives me crazy. Why go inside? All you're asking for is a HBP if you're gonna pitch inside.

 

Pitch low and away. Gollie.

[cubsfaninfla]

I will blow up if Griffey Homers. :evil:

[frostwyrm]

They said Dusty said Gerut would get the start tommorrow.

 

At what position? I would guess CF.

 

I'm thinking Left field since Holla is struggling..

 

But probably not badly enough for Dusty to bench him. Dusty doesn't like Hairston and a righty is pitching tomorrow so I guessed CF for Gerut.

[FloridaCubbie]

I don't think Murton could have done that.

 

Tonight's performance by Hollandsworth should not be emulated by Murton. A CS and a GIDP. Yikes.

 

But of course Dusty will trot Hollandsworth(less) out tomorrow.

 

They said Dusty said Gerut would get the start tommorrow.

 

Lopez irritates me, he always gets on base against us.

 

Wow. Dusty not using his boy Holly against a righty? That's strange.

He has a new toy.

[cubsfaninfla]

K! THANK GOD!

[Coach C]

*Whew*

 

Lucky is all I can say. That was ball 4, yet Griffey decided to swing it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

And THIS is what a stud pitcher does when he doesn't have his best stuff.

 

Still manages to pitch well.

 

Cubsfaninfla - Why would you pull Prior? He only has 69 pitches. He's your ace. You let him get out if it, and continue pitching.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

that could have been ugly. nice job, Prior. :)

[badger1679666666]

Ugh. This really drives me crazy. Why go inside? All you're asking for is a HBP if you're gonna pitch inside.

 

Pitch low and away. Gollie.

 

One pitch sets up the other.

[cubsfaninfla]

Groundout by Neifi.

[brinoch]

Ah, Neifi. One pitch, one out.

[cubsfaninfla]

C'mon Hank White!

[badger1679666666]

*Whew*

 

Lucky is all I can say. That was ball 4, yet Griffey decided to swing it.

 

It wasn't Lucky at all. Did you see the replay? It just dropped off the shelf at the plate.

[Coach C]

Ugh. This really drives me crazy. Why go inside? All you're asking for is a HBP if you're gonna pitch inside.

 

Pitch low and away. Gollie.

 

One pitch sets up the other.

 

Bah. I would rather pitch outside anyways.

 

And Dusty, it's time to play Cedeno. Neifi just ain't cutting it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ah, Neifi. One pitch, one out.

 

Cedeno can't be worse than this. It's just not possible.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nice job, Neifi. ...as usual.

[TruffleShuffle]

Another worthless at bat by Neifi... at least if you're going to only get on base 29% of the time, stand there and make the pitcher throw a few. His approach at the plate is horrendous.

[badger1679666666]

So RIGHT after your pitcher has a tough inning, you don't even take a pitch Neifi? You freaking suck. And no that's not the fake sucking. That's the real sucking.

[brinoch]

Ah, Neifi. One pitch, one out.

 

HB sees two pitches for the second out.

[cubsfaninfla]

Ah, Neifi. One pitch, one out.

 

Cedeno can't be worse than this. It's just not possible.

 

But, dude, Cedeno is a rookie, you know, and he needs to learn from the bench, you know.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Ah, Neifi. One pitch, one out.

 

Cedeno can't be worse than this. It's just not possible.

 

But, dude, Cedeno is a rookie, you know, and he needs to learn from the bench, you know.

 

no, he's supposed to emulate the vets. i certainly don't want him emulating Neifi. :?

[FloridaCubbie]

wow, Ron that was too much info.
