Jason Lane strikes out swinging

 

Cubs 4, Astros 5

[CubsHawks25]

I call a bases-clearing triple, even with Wellemeyer coming in.

 

Its just the Cubs luck, or lack thereof, right now. *sigh* #-o

 

 

*looks at plate of crow and throws it out the window while nobody's watching!* I hate the taste of crow!

Wellemeyer comes in and gets a 4-pitch K, in a bases jammed situation?????

 

*pinches self to make sure he's not in a dream state* OW! Wow.

 

Well, it WAS Jason Lane.

 

Didnt Jason Lane have a grand slam against Prior earlier in the year?

[CubfaninCA]

Big inning here w/ 3, 4, 5 up. Please pinch hit for Burnitz if he comes up w/ the bases loaded.

What's the odds ARam GIDPs again??

[NomarSammy]

Mike Lamb hit the slam off of Prior

 

Here we go ARAM!!

[SwisherSweet]

not a good pitch by Rusch, but for those p'ing and moaning about him, the Astros have hit in incredibly good luck tonight. 3 hard hit balls, 5 runs for them. in the mean time, the Cubs have hit about 7 or 8 hard and only have three to show for it.

 

bump.

 

please observe the game instead of using the boxscore to assess how Glendon Rusch has pitched.

 

Yeah, 10 hits and 5 runs in 3+ innings certainly isn't Glendon's fault. I want results!

 

what part about "please observe the game instead of using the boxscore to assess how Glendon Rusch has pitched" did you not understand?

 

He pitched poorly. Poor control, then left a hanger up to some bum. I don't know how many people will believe that 5 runs in 3 2/3 innings is anything but a horrible pitching performance.

That was Mike Lamb, I thought.

My point was that Jason Lane has a tendency to strike out. He doens't have good zone judgement.

[Omar]

Ramirez grounds into another DP..

Yeah, I was just asking, was it Lane or was it Lamb, I always get those two confused.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Aram is terrible today. He's single handedly killing this game.

[Ram1380]

NICE!

First sniff of a righty and Baker needs to jump all over the chance to put Lawton in for Burnitz.

 

 

 

 

He would prolly come in for Murton knowing Dustbag.

Of the times I needed to put money down... where's Macias for Ramirez and Neifi/Lawton for Burnitz???

 

ARGH!!!! :evil:

Sorry, jjgman, but I'm watching the game as well as hanging in the game thread, and Rusch didn't look great. Yes, some of those hits (actually more like 3-4) were bloopy-fluky hits, but Glendon has little control and has issued walks and served up a couple very hard hit balls that were caught -- Patterson on Burke's flyout to deep left center, Murton on Berkman's line out to deep left, and Glendon himself on a screaming come-backer by Biggio.

[Schwarber Fan]

another wasted Lee AB

[Blueheart05]

Another DP

 

I don't see why we don't run to avoid this possibility. I know sluggers don't like people jocking in front of them on the bases but Aramis is slow...

 

2 down

 

Wandy was hit on the hand by that pitch up the middle

[Schwarber Fan]

Injury Delay scared me i thought it was aram or nomar
