[Balsa]

COREYH!!!!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Corey is back!!!!!!!

[CubsHawks25]

PATTERSON FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!

 

 

Thanks for playing Bad News Bears Baseball there, Astros!!!!

 

HAHA!

[brinoch]

Ugh. Glendon really shouldn't starting.

 

 

Who else do we have to start?

 

Rich Hill?

 

Sergio Mitre. Todd Wellemeyer. Renyel Pinto. Ricky Nolasco.

[Flames24Rulz]

neither pitcher is very good, I say it takes 10 runs to win this one.

 

i dont. now that Houston has the lead, Rusch will shut them down and our offense will be shut down for the rest of the night. Thats what usually happens at least.

 

im an idiot :D

 

that was awesome!

[Wild_Cubs04]

That was a nice AB for CPatt as well, the pitch before the hit was one he would swing at allll day before, down and out. Good job CPatt!!

[Cubzfan64]

This is the most important series of our season.

 

We need all.three.wins.

 

Need is probably a little bit of an exaggeration - I'd like to have all 3 wins, but even 2 of 3 is acceptable right now - slow and steady will get us within striking distance.

 

On the other hand - losing all 3 would be devastating

[Ram1380]

Gets to where he only needs 1 more out again, and gives it up.

 

 

 

Get him out Baker, NOW.

 

 

Now, I understand all the crap Baker gets, but this is beyond his control. Fire Baker for starting Rusch instead of Rich Hill?

 

 

Where did I say anything about Hill, or Rusch not starting for that matter??

 

 

 

I'm saying get Rusch out now, screw trying to milk 1 or 2 more innings out of him tonight and risk this 1 getting ouyt of hand. This is a MUST win game.

[moorecg]

so I guess a quick 1,2,3 inning would be nice here.

 

Edit...Opps...I thought that was 3...Maybe Murton will tie it...then Glendon can shut them down.

That counted as a inside-the-park home run right?

 

Or a triple & an error?

[CubsHawks25]

Murt!!

 

2-3!

[Blueheart05]

Matty is 2 for 3 with a sharp single to center Edited August 16, 2005 by Blueheart05

Ugh. Glendon really shouldn't starting.

 

 

Who else do we have to start?

 

Rich Hill?

 

Sergio Mitre. Todd Wellemeyer. Renyel Pinto. Ricky Nolasco.

 

 

And how good are these guys?

 

Mitre was hammered before he left, Welly is a reliever, Pinto is unproven along with Nolasco.

[CubfaninCA]

That Burnitz sure is streaky. :roll: Give Murton 3 starts in a row Dusty.

[Schwarber Fan]

Murton>Burnitz

[OldHappyCubFan]

Anyone hear that fan screaming and yelling so far, the entire game?

[Outshined_One]

That counted as a inside-the-park home run right?

 

Or a triple & an error?

 

Triple & error. Wandy didn't back up the play, which let Corey score.

[Balsa]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the BIG MURT!

[brinoch]

Gets to where he only needs 1 more out again, and gives it up.

 

 

 

Get him out Baker, NOW.

 

 

Now, I understand all the crap Baker gets, but this is beyond his control. Fire Baker for starting Rusch instead of Rich Hill?

 

C'mon now, that's not at all what was said.

[muntjack]

I just don't see whats not to like with Matt Murton. He is the kind of hitter I love to watch.

[rickrolled]

That counted as a inside-the-park home run right?

 

Or a triple & an error?

 

triple & an error

[CubsHawks25]

Matty is 2 for 3 with a sharp single to center

 

 

If you're not counting his leadoff K, then yeah..... :wink:

 

 

*EDIT*- D'OH! Not in before edit! :lol:

You're pathetic Glendon. Five runs to the worst offense in baseball is absolutely horrific.

 

 

That pathetic offense is winning the Wild Card, aren't they?

 

Give Houston props.

 

Their pitching is amazing, however, their offense is not deserving of any "proper respect."

i gotta agree with swisher. Houston's offense was shut out 2 days in a row by the freakin Pirates at the screwed up park in Houston. Anytime that happens, you know you have offensive problems.

[Schwarber Fan]

Jeromy Burnitz strikes out swinging

Corey Patterson triples to right center and scores on throwing error by Craig Biggio

Glendon Rusch strikes out swinging

Matt Murton singles to center

Todd Walker grounds out 6-3

 

Cubs 4, Astros 5
