8/16 Cubs (Maddux) @ Astros (Pettitte) 7:05 p.m., WGN

Did I just hear Brenly correctly? Or am I one too many glasses of wine into the night? Kerry coming in for the eighth?

 

is this a huge surprise?[/quote

 

You're right - it was two nights ago he went two, so no, this ain't that big of a deal. My bad. Missed last night and I don't seem to have the capacity to remember any day when I don't watch a Cubs game. :oops:

[NYF]

after failing to get caught wandering around first base, Corey musta figured getting doubled off second would be the next best thing...

[SanJoseCubsFan]

Come on, he just missed a double foul and hit a frozen rope at the second baseman.

 

 

 

Heres hoping that he keep sit up.

 

Huh? English please.

 

Gah. Nice DP Macias.

[Omar]

Good catch by Burnitz.

[illiniguy]

patterson was safe.

[CubsFanNJ]

whether or not you like Kerry in the pen...he sure is dominaing when he is just just throwing an inning or two

 

Regardless of the money he makes, Wood in the pen, set up or closer (ultimately closer) is what will make him the superstar we all thought he'd be. It is what it is.

[NYF]

patterson was safe.

[Omar]

for years we said we wanted a k rod in our bullpen, well we have one now. let's go get some starting pitchers now. maybe a break and angel will finally get healthy.

Nope. Just 1 hit.

[CubsHawks25]

Wood better come back out to start the 9th... we NEED!!!!! to win this game and he's his usual nast-filthy self (since coming back and in the pen).

 

Not saying Dempster can't close it out... but since he's on and threw a quite minimal amount of pitches, let Woody try and close it out!!!

[Flames24Rulz]

i agree, i would also like to see Woody at least start the 9th.

[CubsFanNJ]

7 innings, 12K, 0 runs. Hmmmm.....

[YearofDaCubs]

Untouchable.

[Omar]

Russ Springer likely coming out of the pen for the ^9.

[minnesotacubsfan]

[Omar]

Ooo... A Sound of Thunder movie comercial looks good..

[Omar]

What happened with that fan? WTF?

[Brian]

Wood from the pen 7IP - 12K - 1H - 4BB - 0R.

hes been Gagne-esque ever since he's moved to the pen.

[Ram1380]

After seeing Maddux all night, can you imagine what Big K's fastball looks like coming up there??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Neither can they.
