8/14 StL Cardinals (Morris) @ Cubs (Prior) 7:05 ESPN

[CubsHawks25]

Notice how Morgan immediately jumps to Morris' rescue?

 

"Morris will NOT walk hitters!"

 

So basically, Corey hit the HR only because Morris "let him".

 

 

Suck off, Morgan. :x

Nomar and Patterson starting to heat up... could be enough to make things interesting.

[CubsHawks25]

This night is weird.

 

 

So was Thursday.... I sense Cubs' victory!!!! :D

[Exile on Waveland]

Way to go Patterson!!!

[Rob]

That was a nice, line drive shot...

 

I like it.

[erik316wttn]

And see? Corey hits= no booing.

[Hatman]

Dusty sent CPatt to Iowa? Nice that he's Manager and GM... Edited August 15, 2005 by Hatman

I was at that game... very painful. I felt good for Corey tho.

What's the deal w/ these Cardinals. How can a team get so much garbage to play well?? Taguchi, Rodriguez, Nunez??? Unbelievable luck.

Look at it positively. "Morris will not walk hitters." So Patterson knew he was going to get something in the strike zone and jerked it out.

 

Not much love for Morgan, and rightfully so. But the man's not completely stupid.

[CubsHawks25]

Is Mark getting this same K-zone, Froemming??

 

Geezus. Strike 1 to Lawton was low and dipping outside.

Yes, he is.

1st MLB HR.... SWEET!! :roll:

 

This is the same catcher that was in the Cubs system for a while (Iowa when I lived in DSM a few years ago, I think). If so, he's probably playing w/ a bit of a chip on his shoulder tonight.

No need to make excuses for Prior. He's been giving up the long ball a lot.

I know, but when ever I HAVE to listen to Morgan (like when the Cubs are the SNB game on ESPN), I get driven up the wall by his "know it all" attitude & needing to re-explain things at least 3 times so we "amateurs" can understand him, and take it out on him.

Will Corey get arbitration since he was sent down this year? If so will the Cubs pay up? Edited August 15, 2005 by CardsFanInChiTown

Yeah, LaRussa goes and swings the bat for these scrubs. gmab

David Eckstein, career "bloop hitter". "Duck Snorter"

Anytime a ball goes up in the OF, with any sort of depth on it, and a Cub on the mound... I inhale quickly.

I'm not saying a coach plays for them, but they do have an impact.

 

They're teachers. They teach. If they didn't have an effect nobody would have coaches, or am I wrong in that line of thinking?

 

No need to be a smartass about it.

Pay up for what? An honest arbitrator would laugh in Corey's face if he demanded a raise for this year's performance.

[Ram1380]

Nice timing for Corey's first non solo shot of the year.

 

 

:)
