2 HBP for Williams, the Reds need to retaliate... BASE RUNNERS!!!

 

(will just lead to more DPs :( )

no, because it would be cool. just like i'd rather have an adam dunn cardboard cutout in my room rather than have jeromy burnitz for a roommate. but then again, i could talk a ton of trash to jeromy burnitz if he was my roommate and if he tried to hit me, he would just swing and miss and even if he hit me it wouldn't be hard at all.

 

 

hahahahaha

stupid idiot gm.

 

That can't actually be true. Surely.

It isn't, just another made up quote.

[Ram1380]

Anybody still think that the Cubs have not given up on Dusty yet?

 

They certainly look flat. I said it the other day: I think the Cubs could benifit from a bench clearing brawl....

somehow i dont think it will help

 

Well, maybe Macias, Hollandsworth, and Neifi would all pull hamstrings or something and they'd get shut down the rest of the year.

 

 

LOL, yeah where is the ole foul tip off the shin routine when you need it??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm partly kidding.

Really? Why don't you ask Bruce Miles that?

[Blueheart05]

Murton with a great AB!

[eburgcub]

Well look at that Murton is on base again. At least someone can take pitches and look like he knows what he's doing up there.

[Derwood]

All of 12 people in this forum right now. We're down to 4 or 5 posts per 1/2 inning. Sad.

[katway]

Great AB for Murton.

 

I now watch the game just for glimpses of the Cubs future such as Murton. It's getting to the point where there is no other reason to watch.

[OldHappyCubFan]

As time goes on, its becoming more apparent that the Cubs will sign Johnny Damon.

 

 

Lawton hasen't done jack since coming to the Cubs.

 

Hendry doesen't have time to mess around with c-patt or Pie, his contract is up after next year.

[Derwood]

I know for a fact that Lawton can hit a HR. I saw him hit one against the Cubs when I went and saw them at PNC in May.

 

Good thing the leadoff hitter took some pitchers there with a man on, right?

Are people speaking from a STRAIGHT UP deal of Hill for Dunn or were there others involved?

[CubfaninCA]

Why not pinch hit for Williams and bring Wood in in the 6th? Is Dusty rewarding Williams for 4 runs in 5 innings or is Wood unavailable.

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, Brandon Claussen folks? Time to put a fork in it. We're done.

[eburgcub]

God. Murton gets on and then the next to hitters after the sac, see a whole 4 pitches.

Do you really want me to start posting my feelings on this game?

 

I can assure you that you do not.

[CubsHawks25]

If Baker is such a "players manager", how come this team has flat out quit on him?!?! ](*,) [-( #-o :-&

[OldHappyCubFan]

Know whats funny? We got the Cards later this week, and Houston for 10 games.

 

 

 

BOOM! We're fried.

Damon will get 5 or 6 years from someone. That someone will not be the Cubs.

Jim Hendry said he wasn't interested in trading Hill in a deal for Adam Dunn.

The Dusty Baker Swan Song tour starts Thursday!

[Derwood]

I don't think the Cubs could beat Tampa Bay or Kansas City at this point.

[CubfaninCA]

Nice Dusty! Keep Williams in instead of pinch hit. You bleeping idiot. I hope you have to pull Williams this inning and get booed big time.
