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

[da bears]

Damn, the way things are going right not for Glendon, he could give up 15+ hits tonight.

[Omar]

Berkman singles.

[Jon]

Probly just me, but IMO, Aramis has been GIDPing alot recently.

 

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

He's well behind that pace this season and still behind Neifi in that category.

[jjgman21]

this lucky v. unlucky hitting thing is disturbing.

[Schwarber Fan]

Top 3rd:

 

Derrek Lee singles to right

Aramis Ramirez grounds into 5-4-3 DP, Lee out at 2nd

Nomar Garciaparra walks

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

 

Cubs 3, Astros 2

[Outshined_One]

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

 

Lance Berkman = Aramis Ramirez

[SwisherSweet]

I hate Burnitz so much. I still can't believe he only has 56 RBI. Corey Patterson put up those type of numbers last year.

[Ram1380]

Burnitz needs to find about a weeks worth of bench.

[Omar]

Ensberg singles.

[Blueheart05]

Ensberg singles to center.

 

2 on, no outs

[jjgman21]

where was that 2-1 pitch to Ensberg...I mean besides right down the middle.

[EastonBlues22]

I just dropped in to say...GO CUBS!

 

Carry on.

[SwisherSweet]

Wow, Rusch can't get anyone out except the 7-8-9 hitters. Get the bullpen up.

[brinoch]

where was that 2-1 pitch to Ensberg...I mean besides right down the middle.

 

Ummm... right down the middle. I don't know how that wasn't a strike. The 3-1 strike call was clearly a make up call.

[Omar]

Struck out Lane. 1 down.

[CubfaninCA]

Burnitz needs to find about a weeks worth of bench.

 

Put Lawton in rf. Burnitz is really struggling.

[Blueheart05]

Called stike 3!

 

Now for the DP

Rusch hittin that inside corner nicely tonight. (to righties)

[Jon]

Sure looked like it caught plenty of the corner. Holbrook has missed a few so far.

 

Not that one, though.

[Blueheart05]

Yes, a pop out on the infield

 

2 outs

[Omar]

Everett pops out.

[Omar]

hey, if he let the ball drop, and made DP by throwing it to 2nd, and then that MIF throwing it to first.. would that have been allowed?

[SwisherSweet]

Kids crying in the LLWS.. it's a yearly tradition.

[da bears]

that hurts.

[YearofDaCubs]

Rusch sucks.
