8/9 Reds (Harang) vs. Cubs (Prior) 1:20pm WGN-TV

[Chris]

ha ha, gold glove in

[JC]

Can anyone imagine the fit Billy Beane would be having with this team?

 

No...could you tell us? :D

 

According to Moneyball, he regularly avoids watching A's home games by hanging out in the weight room because the stress is too much. He reiterated in a recent interview that he still has the same habit for the most part. So, I was just observing that if he thinks its stressful during A's games, he'd likely have a coronary with the Cubs.

Wheeee! Hollandsworth! :roll:

[Brian]

when is the pitchers spot up 6th????

[eburgcub]

And now we get the famous double switch with todd. Great that should work out just fine :x

[WindyCity]

4th

[JC]

With the offense we have, I'm trying to figure out a way Chris Carpenter will not throw a no-hitter against us.

 

He could miss the team bus from the hotel.....

 

Three words: Home field scoring

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

This had better be a completely different team next year. I'm talking 90% new players. Keep the core, dump EVERYONE else. Even the peanut vendors. Although they might be useful in the outfield if our defense keeps slipping...

[sweetpeteman]

PATHETIC.

isn't there a guy on the bench with a .400 average and .490 OBP? i think he has red hair.

[da bears]

well there's the boo birds. too bad the cubs even had the lead at all in this game, just gave people false hope they could win.

[Chris]

Lawton ran too far anyways, door or no door

[WindyCity]

That was generous of the Cubs --- now the Reds can have a less stressful save situation.

 

 

7 losses and counting. How many more in a row before Hendry's hand is forced.....

I did not know that.

 

Speaking of a coronary....nice double switch genius.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Oooooh, some icing on this crap cake. I wasn't expecting that.

[dalgreen]

Which is why I'm not that upset at bringing Ohman in. Our best bullpen arm can't throw two days in a row. Isn't this Dempster's first outing since last week in Philly?

[wekse]

they suck

[IowaCubbie]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! :evil:

[CuseCubFan69]

Why would you squeeze with a lefty and the inf in?

[Brian]

Time to shut down Wood, and send Williamson back to triple A (no sense in letting Dusty senslessly use him in meaningless games and "fox him"

[XZero771679666304]

Coming off the DL, Scott should not have pitched 3 out of 5 days. Predictably, he had nothing out there.

His hand won't be forced as long as 39,000 keep showing up everyday.

[JC]

Dempster must not be too worried about increasing gas prices. He has been getting lit up with regularity recently.

[halplm]

I'd be insane by now if I hadn't switched to just finding it all humorous...

He's a righty, dude. Hollandsworth is, like, no slouch out there.
