8-2: Cubs (Z!) @ Phillies (Padilla) 6:05 CT, CSN, WGN 720

[E.J.]

Lawton with another single. Good start to his Cubs career. :D

[brinoch]

I'm starting to really like Lawton. Even if that was a dribbler.

[Chris]

Z done on 104?

[Blueheart05]

JHJ stop swinging at the first pitch slugger.

[Marco4]

Is it sad of me to want to see Hank White up instead of Holla?

 

Not the way he's hitting since the All Star Break. Before that, maybe.

 

He's actually been hitting pretty good since he changed his number to 24.

 

You're right, but I don't have stats for that. I checked the split the other night and he was .412 since the ASB.

 

Edit: for tense.

can't believe z is coming out.

 

nice ab, hollandsworth. enjoy the bench for the next two months.

 

Nah, dude. That was tough luck. Gotta get him some AB's.

[otis89]

Even if that was a dribbler.

 

That's what good leadoff hitters can do, beat out little dribblers!

[erik316wttn]

Dempster time in the 9th.

 

Come on, guys. Pull this one out and get Z the much-deserved win.

[Blueheart05]

Alright, Jerry hits a double.

 

Hmmm, will they pitch to Derrek?

[Jon]

Z coming out is pretty surprising.

 

Is Jerry okay?

[E.J.]

Hairston with a rope. And here comes reason #5,001 why Aram should be batting behind Lee.

[Coach C]

Hairy!!!

[brinoch]

Sweet, now Lee gets a chance. Here comes the walk...

why Ramirez should bat behind Lee.

 

DUMBSTY ARE YOU LISTENING?

[woodprior04]

I wonder if Dusty will ever grow a brain and bat Rammy cleanup. Doubt it :roll: .

[sweetpeteman]

Lee's slowly becoming Bonds... without the jerk part.

That's it? I thought there were a lot more than that. ;)

We gotta have balance in the lineup dude. It's all about matchups dude. Man Burnie has been hitting the ball hard, he's just unlucky.

This is Dusty. A normal person would catch on when they started giving the Barry Bonds treatment to Lee whenever he came up. Dusty Baker will catch on MAYBE the last week of Sept. after the Cubs are out of the race.

[Jon]

Not a single strike in that AB...

[SwisherSweet]

Wow, good one dusty. That r/l/r thing only makes the other team's manager burn a reliever when he's less lazy than you are.

[Jon]

Not a single strike in that AB...

[Outshined_One]

Wow, that 4th ball on Abreu looked pretty good compared to some of the called strikes for Padilla...

[badger1679666666]

I'm trying to post, im irritated by Dusty's brainless moves, and then critical errors come up for 10 minutes.

 

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I think I just blew a gasket.

[Chris]

Ugh
