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

[Blueheart05]

Just shut them down here. We dont wont them to score after that frustrating inning.

[Stomper90]

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.

 

I don't really care about Manny, he's not on the team that I support. That's like a little kid justifying his behavior in school by saying the kid next to him also cheated. My point is, you hustle out of the box until the ball is out of the park. A-Ram NEVER does that. For a while it was okay because he hurt his groin every other week. But when is it time for him to finally hustle out of the box like most guys do?

 

If Murton or Hairston did that Dusty would be all over them.

[David]

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?

 

Um, for what? Trying to hit a fly ball with a runner on 3rd and 1 out late in a tied game?

[Omar]

Grudz strikes out and he is angry. 1-1 tie, inning over.

[Mizzou]

Real classy, Grudz. Z should've ran over and thrown him after that!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Z runs the bases, then comes back with a 9 pitch, 2 K inning. Awesome.

[Coach C]

Woo! Carlos is dealin!

No, we sent Corey down for swinging for the fences when he isn't a power hitter
