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

Will Demptser still be going in the 9th?

 

He needs some work. Our pitching has been so good, and our hitting so good, he hasn't gotten into many ball games. I'd throw him out there since he's warmed up.

[Outshined_One]

Lee-Aram >>>>>>>>>> Sexson/Beltre.

 

Fixed! :D

[Soul]

I can't believe we finally have a decent third baseman.

 

I can't believe some folks on this board were questioning his ability earlier in the year.

[David]

GNR in the background..

 

Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...

[badger1679666666]

Save some runs for Wood tommorrow. He deserves some Run Support.

 

Walker, Lee, Aram> Grudz, Pujols, Edmonds, or Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen

Anything goes tonight!

[Blueheart05]

I think Holla is feeling some pressure. Perhaps he should sit a few days. lol

[muntjack]

It's like we have two Pujols :-)

[Mizzou]

Wow, that was a terrible at bat.

 

Nothing like determining if you're going to swing before the pitch is thrown!

back when he was slumping? yeah. i think he even heard a few boos. what a bunch of morons (the booers).

[Omar]

Neifi pops out. Inning over. Let's finish this!

[Jon]

Where's your compassion, Len!?!

[Blueheart05]

Demp is trotting in for the 9th!

argh!!! neifi. another worthless AB from my favorite SS.

[slicknickshady]

I like aram at the 5th spot in the order if burnits continues to get on consistently. If not i say move him to the 4th spot. Only if burnits struggles though.

 

I like ARAMBO in the 5th Spot if burinitz gets on.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

GAME OVER

 

 

Dempster coming in for the bottom of the 9th.

[Omar]

argh!!! neifi. another worthless AB from my favorite SS.

 

So when is Nomar projected to return?

[Mark_R]

I was questioning him since he had one more year before he could hit true FA, but he has been absolutely amazing since May. His OPS is approaching .950 (might actually be there since I haven't calculated it, but he came into tonight's game at .936) and 2 HR's, a double, and a walk will certainly help that :D

 

I'm unspeakably glad I was wrong.

Yea those fans are surprisingly silent. I swear to god, Cubs fans, have more knee jerk reactions than any other fanbase I've met. I guess it has to do with never winning the big one and bad things happening but still.

[Omar]

Weathers had to leave the game due to a lower back strain.

[David]

Dodgers have 2nd and 3rd with 1 out in the 10th, FYI..

 

EDIT - bases loaded now
