7/23 Cubs (Williams) vs Cardinals (Morris) 2:15 FOX

[AlwaysaCub]

Williams is gonna be kinda useless next start, because he must be gassed after this outting.

[Fro]

He did it! Totally gassed but he looked better in that inning. :D

[E.J.]

Williams can barely walk off the field. Watch Dusty send him out there for another inning.

[Omar]

Williams with a good inning. Pretty good start too.

[Coach C]

Nice job JW!

[Jon]

Nice inning, Jerome. Now please get back to the clubhouse before passing out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dusty will be a complete fool to sned out Jerome again especially with him over 100 pitches and his spot due up 1st next inning.

[SanJoseCubsFan]

what a bad move by Dusty to have a pitcher stay in for a quality start

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

good job, Williams. 100+ pitches in that weather. outfreakingstanding.

Speaking of the stats Fred, have you ever gotten the Cubs' record in a game where DLee goes yard?

 

CUBS are 17-8 when Derrek Lee hits at least 1 HR.... 31-40 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Shhhh !! I posted it already right after he hit it !!

 

 

:D Go Cubs!

[Outshined_One]

Props to Jerome, especially considering the conditions out there. He didn't have his ace stuff, but I'll take 6 IP, 3 ER from my #5 starter any day of the week.

[Fro]

That's one of those things where we would complain either way. If Wuertz came in and blew the game we'd be complaining about him not leaving Williams in.

Welcome to the forum!

[E.J.]

Jerome needs to go sit in a tub of ice after today's outing. Poor guy looked like he was going to die out there.

[Mizzou]

I'm reading the new Vineline while watching the game...

 

In the Q&A with Dusty Baker, Dustrag had this to say...

 

"He (Neifi) was pretty close to meaning as much to us as DLee has meant to us, offensively and defensively."

 

Wow.

 

I really really really hope he was just talking about April.

 

It was in response to a question about what he was going to do with Neifi once Nomar returned. He started off the answer by saying: "We'll worry about that when Nomar gets back. We got games to win before that. Neifi's going to need some days off."

it's not about getting a quality start. it's about winning. :wink:

[Coach C]

Matt Morris done.

 

And Williams is done. Finally.

 

Great job JW. I'm proud of you, despite the conditions.

[CubsWin]

Williams can barely walk off the field. Watch Dusty send him out there for another inning.

Okay, so the guy you have been calling to be taken out of the game for a while now, just goes 1-2-3 and all you have to say is that?

 

How about, "Way to go, Jerome! I didn't think you had it in ya!"

[Blueheart05]

Gerut PH'ing

[Jazz]

OMG I WANT A CLIP OF MCARVER MOVING HIS HANDS LIKE THAT AS MY AVY!

 

What, when they showed there was no glass?

 

Welcome aboard to the fillm0re guy, by the way.

 

1-2-3? Nice.

 

yeah i laughed my ass off at that, it basically showcases the IQ of these two guys,

 

"look ma, no glass!"

The way he looked out there in the 5th and 6th, he should have been taken out. Dusty let him in an inning too long his last ime out, and he paid for it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Jason Dubois homers for Cleveland today.

[mhuber92211]

For those saying it was a bad idea for Dusty to keep Williams in there I disagree. While he was losing it the bullpen has already worked a ton of innings and we are in the midst of a long stretch of games. Squeeze 1 more if you can and keep Wuertz ready.

[SanJoseCubsFan]

Great job by J-Will can't ask for much more, wimpy lineup or not
