Yay! Scoreless inning!

 

 

By the way, if anyone wants to get in the first question for Brian Dopirak, you better hurry:

Non-Premium

 

I got the first question in! :cheers:

[Schwarber Fan]

ugh not a good inning time for a 1,2,3 Jerome

[KatJ]

I wonder how Corey would do if he followed two rules:

 

(1) Just try to get the bat on the ball.

 

(2) Aim to get a minimum 5-pitch AB.

He might be able to do that if he didn't have:

 

1) A high priced wife who sucks every last dollar out of his bank account

 

and

 

2) An agent who keeps telling him he needs to hit home runs or he won't get paid.

OTOH, the lineup turns over next Cubs AB. Would be nice to see a 1-2-3 inning with Williams on the mound right NOW.

Haha, awesome. Completely baseless and false, but awesome.

something like:

 

pitch 1: called strike

pitch 2: swinging strike

pitch 3: foul

pitch 4: foul

pitch 5: swinging strike

I didn't know Corey got married? Has he been married for long?

 

And who is his agent? Is there a site that lists which players have which agents?

 

The ironic part is that patient hitters wind up getting the HRs. Take Lee and a pre-roid Giambi (who is getting his form back - think it's "help"?). And that translates into bucks.

corey is a boras boy

[Omar]

Good play by Corey!

[Jon]

Very nice catch. He stayed low the whole time and it was waiting for him when he got there.

[RynoRules]

Nice play by CPatt. That's the sort of stuff that will allow me to be patient with him for one more day.

[Omar]

I've tried searching for the same kind of website.. no luck.

 

If anyone knows of any, please share.

[da bears]

alright top of the order. LETS GET SOME RUNS!

[RynoRules]

Ya' know, Williams could be a slightly watered down version of Z if he'd stop walking guys. His stuff is really good.

[KatJ]

If CPatt's bat were as steady as his glove, Jim Edmonds would be recognized by everyone for the drag queen he is. :P

Haha, I was just shooting off for fun. Don't be so serious 8)

[Soul]

Actually, you are right. He does have very good movement on his pitches.

 

If he doesn't learn control though, it will probably be for nothing.

[ltb]

wow, could these guys get on the cardinals' jocks any more?

 

grudzielanek has a SHORTSTOP'S arm?

 

you've got to be kidding me.

[da bears]

geez walker sucks against the cardinals.

Yup. He's really young though, so may be we just have to be patient and give him to get it. If he's not walking guys, the Cubs probably lead this one 2-1.

[da bears]

my god that was a pathetic inning.

[rickrolled]

That was an awful inning.

[Schwarber Fan]

I have to go in 15 minutes, is it possible the cubs get out on the 6th and tie it in the 6th in that time??
