7/21 Cubs (Maddux) @ Reds (Milton) 11:35 AM CSNC

[Mizzou]

Maddux done after just 71 pitches? After using the pen for 6 innings last night? With a critical three game series this weekend? Doesn't make much sense... he has to go back out there, I don't care if he's hot or not.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-10 when the opponents hit 3 or more HRs, 36-28 when they don't.

 

Go CUBS !!

It always seems like the freakin' catcher for the division foes always kill us.

 

The Frickin BACKUP catcher nonetheless

 

 

It even seems that K-mian Miller does well against us now. M

hey the bullpen will be fine for this weekend series i think.

I really hope we face the same lineup the Cards are putting on the field today. It's pretty ugly.

[E.J.]

Stupid Griffey. :x

After tossing 11 innings the previous two games? I wouldn't think so.

Stupid Griffey. :x

 

did he rob the homerun or something?

[Outshined_One]

It seems like the balls are dying in the OF when we don't want them to.

[E.J.]

Any bets on us seeing Holla if it gets to Murton's spot in the lineup?

[Outshined_One]

El oh el.

Nah, it's not the 9th inning yet.

He robbed Aram of a double. Went back hard to the wall, had to change directions about 5 times with the wind, and ended up making an over the shoulder catch at the wall. Very nice play.

It looked like he misjudged it a few times, and finally caught it on the run over his shoulder. It was a on the warning track. Not too tough a play.

[slicknickshady]

come on ronny.

[Coach C]

Nice job Burnitz.

 

3-4 today for Burnitz.

[JGalt73]

Nice glove flip!

[Mizzou]

3 hits now for Burnitz. Let's go Ronny!

[Outshined_One]

That was absolutely hilarious, by the way.

Burn hit a chopper to the 2B, who made a diving stop. Barrett had pretty much conceded the force at this point and slowed up. However, the 2B decided to have a sense of urgency and tried to flip the ball to the SS straight frmo his glove...only it went over the SS's head. All hands were safe.
