7/22 Cubs (Zambrano) at Cardinals (Carpenter), 7:10 pm, WGN

[Omar]

Fly ball, AT LEAST!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Z, i want to have your baby.

[USSoccer]

What's really annoying me about A-Ram is the fact that he always sits there and watches his home runs. I hope someone hits him sooon because if someone did that against the Cubs, I would be pissed off.

 

Everytime he hits, waits, and admires his possible home run.

 

IIRC he didn't do it once in Cincinatti. He's only done it about 5 times all year. It's nowhere near as big of a deal as his hustle may be.

 

It's been way more than five times. I didn't see his last home run in Cinci... however, it has been irritating me for a while and Brenly has also made mention of it before.

 

I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a bit of flair, regardless of how old-school baseball guys might feel about it. I don't mind the emotion. I do mind the lack of hustle, although as Jon correctly points out, ARam is slow. He would have been out at 2nd. It's not like it was Walker or Hairston running.

 

I actually haven't noticed him jogging anything out lately either....until tonight.

 

GREAT catch by Burnitz!@!!

 

Whoa! Nothing wrong with it.... #1. It plays right into the whole hustle thing. There was one a month ago where he posed and it ended up being a double and possibly a triple. #2. It's qutie disrespectful. All of the commentators make references from Steve Stone to the guys on baseball tonight. Why do you think the player gets beaned quite a bit after posing?

 

If you think Aramis is capable of getting a triple on anything other than heart attacks by the entire OF all at once, then I don't know what to tell you.

 

Next, Stone's act is wearing old with me anyway. He's got a big axe to grind, and it smacks of poor class on his part. I don't take much of what he says seriously.

 

Besides, if you think Aramis poses, watch Manny Ramirez. THAT's posing.

[Coach C]

Ugh.

 

Trade Walker plz.

[Omar]

please please please please please please please dont ground into a DP Todd. Thanks.

Anyone else notice that Eckstein was backing away from Hairston?

 

Wuss. Even I could beat up Jerry.

 

maybe.

[Chris]

[Brian]

we should have way more than 1 stinking run.

[Derwood]

T-Walk hits a few homers in Cinci and he suddenly thinks he's Ken Griffey Jr. Didn't we send down Corey for this?

[Roast]

Anyone else notice that Eckstein was backing away from Hairston?
