8/5 Cubs (Hill) @ Mets (Glavine) 6:10 CT on WGN

[Blueheart05]

Kerry will be making his first career relief appearance next half inning.

 

Talk about baptism by fire. Not making it any better by delivering 2 balls to Cliff Floyd.

 

To his credit, he got Floyd to pop out to Aramis.

Kerry looks sharp :roll:

 

Let's try not to walk them here Wood

True, but he's having problems hitting his spots again. That drives me nuts.

gotta be an embarrasing sito for Wood. time the 10M, resident 'china doll' gets a dose of humility/ reality...

[USSoccer]

walk.

[Blueheart05]

where was that pitch? I think that was called earlier

[RynoRules]

In the old days Piazza placed a pitch like that one firmly over the RF wall.

You honestly think they care? Maybe Lee, but I have my doubts about the rest of them. The only people who are getting a helping of humility are Cub fans.

That's one way to think about it but I think he's a gamer. He decided to forgo his ego and pitch out of the 'pen when he could have asked to be shut down.

[Blueheart05]

Looks like Abreu is getting hot again.

 

Things are tied up in Philly

[Brian]

Kerry was getting squeezed (or rather not getting the Calls Glavine was getting)

 

Worse of all Ball 4 to Wright was MUCH better than Strike 1 to Piazza.

[Brian]

OMG Murton sighting.

[Blueheart05]

Michael singles

 

Murton PHs

'gamer' my...

 

go get 'em Murton...

Wow, down by 5 and they come out swinging early in the count. -

 

Nomar will always swing at the first or second pitch. I think a team can live with one or maybe two guys like that in a lineup, but not six or seven.

 

I wasn't singling him out. He and Burnitz both decided to ground out early. Macias saw more pitches than both of them combined.

 

Oh I know you weren't singling him out. That's why I said you can't have six or seven guys who love to swing early in the count in the same lineup. A lot of people blame Dusty's philosophy on this, but if you check out the guys we get, they have a history of being hackers and not able to work deep into counts.

 

Regarding the Brewers, my pride doesn't want them passing us up. But as a baseball fan I hope they do. I can't think of five of their players not living up to expectations...even their young guys. On the other hand, I can only think of maybe five on our team who have.

[Brian]

Sure would be nice if the Cubs got that inside call Glavine just got.

[Blueheart05]

Murton GIDP

[J.R.]

The proverbial donkey balls are getting a good bath tonight.

[KatJ]

Sure would be nice if the Cubs got that inside call Glavine just got.

 

Yes, but you know that if you're wild early, can't set up things like that.

 

Well, I gotta get outta here. Go PHILLIES!!!! Please stop our runaway train descent into the cellar.

[NYF]

that'll go into the books as hitting into a DP, but Murton CRUSHED a Glavine fastball. Murton rawks. Krusty Sox...

Wood is injury prone but how can you argue that he wants to be hurt or doesnt want to pitch? The guy's heart can't be measured by physical limitations. I'm sure he'd love to make 30+ starts a year.

[Blueheart05]

I like Willamson's funky leg motion

 

Hmmm, he looks good out there.

[Brian]

Williamson looks freakin FILTHY

[Brian]

nice recovery, he's alrady my favorite bullpen pitcher.

[Blueheart05]

I LOVE strike one :D
