8/15 Cubs (Rusch) @ Astros (Rodriguez) 7:05 CSNC

NICE!

 

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

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

He wiould prolly come in for Murton knowing Dusty.

 

Yep, Murton needs to hit another homer in order to stay in vs. a righty.

Nomar grounds out. Terrible inning over.

[da bears]

this is really frustrating.

[Blueheart05]

Nomar was robbed at SS :roll:

Yep, Murton needs to hit another homer to keep in order to stay in vs. a righty.

 

Who betta than Jose Macias?!

[CubsHawks25]

Ramirez has really rally-killed 2 innings now.

 

I know, I know... "how can you rally-kill an inning with just a GIDP when no real string of hits before it or runs scored?", but Lee leads off with either a walk or hit, and its 2 outs almost autmatically.

 

ARGH!!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

Top 5th

 

Derrek Lee walks

Aramis Ramirez grounds into 1-4-6-3 DP

Nomar Garciaparra grounds out to SS Adam Everett

 

Cubs 4, Astros 5

[OldHappyCubFan]

So basically, all our second tier guys are scoring all the runs.

 

Lee isn't getting anything to hit, and A-Rams in a DP machine.

 

 

We need more base runners!

Bite your tongue!!

If Aram was just missing on pitches in the zone, I could live with it. However, he is chasing pitches out of the zone that you can't do ANYTHING with. His approach would suggest he is TRYING to ground into DPs.

[CubsHawks25]

THERE'S the Wellemeyer I know!!!!!!!

 

Welcome back, buddy. ](*,)

[Omar]

Everett homers off Wellymeyer. I thought that was a replay at first.

[Blueheart05]

Disgusting

 

a leadoff homer

 

Welly, in the Bigs, you dont throw it down the middle and catch 'em by surprise.

[brinoch]

Crap. Welly gives a gopher ball to Adam Everett. Adam Everett!!

[SwisherSweet]

AHH CRAP

 

WHY CAN'T ANY OF THESE LOUSY PITCHERS DO ANYTHING RIGHT??

[muntjack]

Ouch.

 

We have to win this game.

[OldHappyCubFan]

More good pitching.

 

 

Turning the game off, this is heading South

 

 

cyas.

[da bears]

i hate this damn stadium.

[Schwarber Fan]

Heres a fun fact:

 

every one with a HR tonight came in with 8 homers or less

[Omar]

Walks Burke.

This is what I can't stand about Aramis when he's not "on". When he's hitting the HRs and long hits/2Bs, its great to watch... but when he's swinging for HRs on those pitches that are low and outside... nothing is more aggravating to watch - either him popping it up or weakly grounding out!

[Blueheart05]

Burke walks...

 

The Welly I remember.

 

Get the pen going, we can't go down by many more runs

[Omar]

Another HR. Astros lead 7-4..

[brinoch]

Double crap.

[Blueheart05]

GREAT a 2 run shot

 

Todd is toast and there's no outs

 

8-4?
