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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Are you a closet Reds fan - or just confused?

We're not at Wrigley. :wink:

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

 

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!

 

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

 

Plus you could see Burnitz arm shoot up in triumph along with Walker. Then when he got back in Lee was waiting for him with his arm up too....I love watching the Cubs players happy when they succeed.

Why bring Novoa for the 8th after an inning like the 7th? Crazy man just crazy.

[Jazz]

man novoa was missing all over with his first 3 pitches then comes back with 2 strikes...

then the eventual walk

not a good way to start

cmon roberto!

[Omar]

[Coach C]

I loathe our bullpen

[TruffleShuffle]

Time for y'all to start losing it again.

[Outshined_One]

I ask everyone else watching...am I the only one who's wondering what the heck happened to this ump's strike zone? He started out the day with one the size of Texas, and now it's the size of a teacup.

 

I hate this crew.

[ryno-mvp23]

apparentely after last inning novoa thinks it's easier to work with men all over the bases :cry:

Two on, nobody out.

[UMFan83]

Haha, unless the Reds score 26 runs in the bottom of the 9th i dont see the problem with that?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

i absolutely love how this ump has modified his zone as the game has progressed. :roll:

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Here we go again. At least Dempster is up in the pen.

[AI]

Because he threw a whopping ten pitches and didn't throw yesterday. Plus, who else are you going to bring in? Mitre, Rusch? No thanks.

[Fred Hornkohl]

I really don't get these attedance numbers.....

 

Monday night... 24,664

Tuesday night... 27,363

Wednesday afternoon.... 36,498

 

They must be giving away tickets to this one !!

[UMFan83]

I'm dusty, walk Casey and bring in Dempster

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

that was a solid play from Barrett.

[YearofDaCubs]

BRING THE DAMN CLOSER IN!!!!

[Outshined_One]

Looks like an intentional unintentional walk here.

[gflore34]

This Cub bullpen cannot consistently throw strikes...

[UMFan83]

Why are they pitching to him? He's going to burn them

[Omar]

Full count.
