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

[Peoriaman]

describe the catch somebody please.

[mhuber92211]

and of course my gameday feed goes out again. Grrr...

[jyoung55]

I love me some Roberto.

[E.J.]

How spectacular was that catch for those that can't see it? Better then Sosa against Pittsburgh last year?

 

Very good catch. Look for it as #1 on the web gem tonight. A little looper to right center that Hairston came in full speed on and laid full out to catch.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Amazing job by Hairston and Novoa, the least likely of heros. Amazing.

[Omar]

Hairston grounds to short.

[Outshined_One]

Hairston had an initial bad read on the catch, but he more than made up for it by going all out on it.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

describe the catch somebody please.

Bases loaded 2 outs, Aurila slices a looper into short RCF & JHJR makes a diving play to his left, unbelievable!!!

[mul21]

Does Novoa stay in for the 8th? Or do we risk a flame out by somebody else?

[Omar]

I dont want Cubs to score. I want to see Dempster get the save in a 1-run situation in a hitter's park.

nice job offense way to put the pressure back on them. Bring in Dempster now.

Reminded me of the catch Corey made in Milwaukee to start the DP...but without the DP.

I want them to have a 20 run lead, but that's just me.

[Coach C]

Wow.... just wow...

 

Just when things were looking really bad, and NSBB was on the verge of a full-scale implosion, JHJR and Novoa saved the day.

 

 

*Whew* Oh my lord.

It was in the same vain considering the circumstances. Of course, Sammy was always diving around the field so I'm not sure how much of that was necessary in his case but JHJ was digging to reach the ball then lunged and caught it before it hit the ground. Beautiful!

[TruffleShuffle]

Haha you people lost your minds that last innings... what the hell is wrong with you? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[E.J.]

Agreed. Give me 25 runs in the top of the 9th.

Novoa & Hairston made the doubters sound foolish!

At this point I'd settle for a win. I don't care if its by 10 or by 1. Lets just win!

Huh? :?:

[illiniguy]

[sethuel1]

Who predicted the leadoff single?

I absolutely loved how he popped up immediately and showed a ton of emotion. It was awesome to see!
