7/19 Cubs (Prior) at Reds (Hudson), 6:10pm WGN

[Mizzou]

Dubois update...

 

So far he's 0-3 with 2 K's batting 8th for Cleveland.

[erik316wttn]

Gerut now batting 1.000 as a Cub.

 

Somehow, I don't think he'll keep that pace up the whole year. ;)

Wow, this Ump SUCKS. That was strike 3 for sure.

Is he DHing?

[Coach C]

Bah. Right in the middle Jerry.

 

Come on Todd. We need those runs.

[Jon]

Can't take two straigh pitches right on the outside corner, Jerry.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Reds fans can only boo the "Let's go Cubbies!" chant. Awesome.

 

That's nothing. Braves fans can't cheer or boo anything until the scoreboard or the PA system tell 'em to !!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

excellent AB, Hairston.

[Mizzou]

Any player with his own blog is cool...

Pretty cool. I didn't know he still lives in Lombard.

 

I haven't taken the time to read much of it, but from the few paragraphs that I have read, it's obvious that Gerut is a very intelligent person. Hopefully that rubs off on Dusty a little bit. :)

Wasn't that an error on the 3B?

did the Braves actually start the tomahawk chop, or did they steal that too?

[Coach C]

Dang it!

:oops: :oops:

Damn, there is some serious lag between WGN TV and WGN radio. Like 2, 3 seconds. There ususally is about a half-second delay, but that I can take. This is ridiculous.

[Omar]

inning over.

It was a FC E-5.

 

And yet another wasted scoring chance.

You should hear how bad the lag is with XM.

Is that through cable? I don't have any delay here.

[badger1679666666]

1 away.

 

Good, Dunn cannot tie the game.

[Blueheart05]

Come on Roberto, throw strikes.

 

1 out

No tomahawk chops until the drums started beating. Pavlov would have been proud !!

Yeah, I have digital cable. Pat and Ron announce, and 2 seconds later I see what they're talking about.

 

On that last pitch I heard "swing and a foul back" and Novoa hadn't even started his windup yet.

[otis89]

Don't walk him.
