8/10 Dunn and Mercker's Reds (Milton) @ Cubs (Hill) 1:20 CSN

[Flames24Rulz]

well Barrett gets to Milton there :)

Who here thinks part of the reason for bringing Corey back up is to showcase him for a possible trade?

 

Just curious.

[otis89]

Oh, that's why crappy Burnitz is playing. He's 6-9 against Milton with two homers. I can't believe Hendry has been after Burnitz since 2003.

 

Would you rather have Hollandsworthless or Sosa in right this year? I think not.

[dalgreen]

Barrett ties the game with a homer.

[Chris]

ha ha, fear Barrett

[Notorious]

Homerun Barrett!

Tied 1-1

[Somedaysoon]

I think Burnitz is a good guy but he's just an average player. Need a big time upgrade in the outfield next year. Barrett just homered so it's 1-1!

[otis89]

I reeeeeeeeally hate Sportsline.

Boy, that's a choice between bad and worse....

None of the three. It's not saying very much to say your better than worthless and more worthless.

Exactly. Hollandsworthless, Sosa, or Burnitz? I think that's a no-brainer. I wish people would get off Burnitz's case and realize who we could have had in right this year.

Corey being Corey

[Wild_Cubs04]

CPatt still can't get the bat on the ball, is he swinging with his eyes closed?

[OldHappyCubFan]

c-patt strikes out again, to mild boos.

[series65cubsfan]

Barretgasm!

BENCH DLEE FOR 2 GAMES

 

This is what happens when you don't have a legit backup 1B man.

 

And don't gimmie Hollandsworth. He's had all of 3 games at first in his career.

[E.J.]

Corey's swing is terrible. The adjustments haven't done anything to stop that severe uppercut swing.

[Somedaysoon]

Corey fans and the fans boo him. I really don't think this was a good time to feed Corey to the animals. The fans are on edge as it is and he has always been a whipping boy for them. It's sad.

By the time Sosa was traded, there wasn't anything left to get but Burnitz.

Barretgasm!

 

You're a little late there. :wink:

Barretgasm!

 

You're a little late there. :wink:

 

At least he wasn't premature. ;)

[KatJ]

Barretgasm!

 

You're a little late there. :wink:

 

So is Gameday. :-)

From CBS Sportsline looks like Patterson swung at a pitch up and away, his problem still remains pitch selection. Edited August 10, 2005 by gflore34

I hope he's not pressing.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Corey still does not have big league hitting abillity. He should not be guaranteed a spot on the 25 man roster going into ST next year. He should have to earn it. Until he makes major adjustments to his swing, he does not belong in the majors.
