[burnt out cubbie fan]

I still have dreams of a lineup starring Patterson, Patterson, and Pie.

 

Me too, warpt. Me too.

Me too. :(

Ryu's low K totals worry me. That's a very reliable indicator of future success, and the numbers jibe with the reports of sub-90 velocity.

Richard Lewis has had a couple of solid games in a row. Hopefully he can build off of it. I still have dreams of Lewis in the Cubs lineup someday :)

[Chris]

Ryu with a great start tonight, as well. 8 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts. His ERA is down to 3.34.

 

Coats made his 26th error of the season, though (in CF tonight).

 

It was a terrible play. He was running to his left to cut off the ball and ran by it. He tried to reach back with the bare hand but couldn't get it. To his credit several said it took a bad hop.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Boise leads 4-3 after 8. Carlos Quinones and Davey Gregg made specatcular catches at the wall to preserve the lead in the 8th.

 

EDIT: Mark Reed hit a HR today, just his second of the year.

Yes so do I... he'll be in the lineup on days when E-Patt is given a day off.

Fontenot-haters!

Boise holds on and wins 4-3. Hyle and Evenson were impressive in relief.

hurray Welly! two great starts in a row. this can only really help the cubs.

The gameday guy was wearing the special Diamond Jaxx camoflauge jersey tonight at the game. The jersey looks so much better than I thought it would! The jersey has a walking Cub logo patch on the sleeve and white numbers on the back. The jerseys will be auctioned next Friday night after the game. As with the scout jerseys, the player will sign the jersey and meet the buyer after the jersey is auctioned.

That's 13 scoreless innings since the AAA all-star break.

 

And West Tenn regained sole possession of first place today. :D

Van Buren needs to be called up and replace Mitre. Then Mitre can start a couple games and maybe in the process increase his trade value.

 

Van Buren has pitched well enough to warrant a chance.

Another Jaxx player used in the same sentence as MJ...

[Jon]

Another Jaxx player used in the same sentence as MJ...

''Stopping Bacon from stealing is like trying to guard Michael Jordan one-on-one Ð it's just not going to happen,'' Coleman said.

Haha. I'm not sure if Ron likes all of Coleman's Jordan references, though.

ha ha, good point. Had I been dressed more for media I would've caught up with him after the game. Maybe tomorrow.

Some notes from the Gary Hughes interview on the WGN Radio Cubs pregame show:

 

Thought that it was important for Hill to get a taste of the majors and thinks he'll be up to stay very soon. He didn't say whether that would be in the bullpen or not.

 

Did he say if Hill would be up with Chicago or Cincinnati? :lol:
