Nice DLee! Lets get the avg back up to .360!

[Omar]

Ramirez grounds to his usual DP...

[Blueheart05]

UGH, ARam GIDP

[Wild_Cubs04]

Gah ARam, least switch at the first pitch if it's CLOSE to a strike.

[CubsHawks25]

Ramirez GIDPs the inning.

 

Cmon Nomar... reenergize it!

[CubfaninCA]

Come on, fess up, who here thought Murton had no power? :P

 

I said I'd get fired up when he hit one to the warning track. :)

 

How far did it go?

 

 

It hit 2/3rds the way up the foul pole, but it wasn't a real hard hit liner... ~375-80 would be my guess.

 

390. Dang!

 

He's on juice. :wink:

 

 

 

 

(psssst. I'm trying to look it better for his kids and grandkids)

 

:)

 

Oh. I was about ready to jump on the bandwagon. :)

Recently? He lead the majors last year with the most GIDPs..

Derrek Lee singles to right

Nomar Garciaparra walks

Michael Barrett grounds into fielder's choice, Garciaparra out at 2nd

 

Cubs 3, Astros 2

This guy has no control, and the Cubs have three outs on first pitch swings and one hit. Barrett has seen two pitches in two AB's.

 

Patience boys.

[Blueheart05]

Burnitz misplayed a ball in RF. Fortunately, Berkman was loafing to first. :roll:
