[Jon]

And on that whiff, Lee's BA falls below .360.

[XZero771679666304]

Derrek really needs a day off. I think he is mentally and physically tired.

[Jon]

Ooh, bat in the press box. Go after Sullivan.

 

Unless he's already commanding the bat.

[Jon]

Derrek really needs a day off. I think he is mentally and physically tired.

Since I'll be at the game and it's the day before an off-day, I'm sure he'll sit tomorrow.

[Jon]

Okay, we've already established that Glaus can hit belt-high fastballs right down the middle.

[katway]

Troy Glaus "likes fastballs up over the plate." Doesn't every hitter? Time to stop throwing fastballs down the middle to their power hitter.

[Outshined_One]

And that's why he's one of the top hitting prospects in the nation.

[Warren Brusstar]

I really hate this team.

[XZero771679666304]

Ugh. I think our pitchers should try getting ahead in the count.

[katway]

Here we go again. If we keep giving the game away pretty soon the opposing team is going to take it.

[Jon]

And a 3-2 hanger.

 

Nothing 6 consecutive poorly played games.

[Outshined_One]

Hollandsworth is now in for Gerut.

 

Um...okay.

[Warren Brusstar]

Let's just keep putting runners on base, Dusty.

 

I love that Connor Jackson got called up JUST IN TIME to play the Cubs.

[JGalt73]

The Cubs are going to need another cat, their old one is running out of lives... Edited July 30, 2005 by JGalt73

[Jon]

And nothing like bringing in a new pitcher to IBB someone.

[OldHappyCubFan]

This team sucks. They deserve to lose the wild card spot, and hopefully lose all the games from here on out, so Hendry gets to blow up the team.

 

DLee is not a triple crown winner, hes flat out been lucky.

 

He'll revert to his old self next season I'm sure. You can't rely on him all the time.

[XZero771679666304]

Hollandsworth is now in for Gerut.

 

Um...okay.

 

And Rusch coms in for Novoa just to walk Clark to face a RH hitter? It has worked out so far, but it makes zero sense.

Yet again, the blind dart throwing monkey hits a bullseye.

Step off the ledge, man.

 

Lucky?

Lucky? How has Lee been lucky? It's not like he has been getting bloop hits all year. Say what you will about the rest of the team, but Lee is lucky? That's just ludicrous.

[Jon]

Nice job by Rusch. Just for that, you get a walk credited to your name that shouldn't have been.

 

And now that the Cubs are on their 3rd left fielder, can you pinch run for Ramirez if he gets in scoring position?

I think I might die of shock if anything resembling a positive thought ever came from you.

 

The Cubs obviously bring you only pain and misery, so why do you bother watching them?
