8/27 Marlins (Willis) @ Cubs (Maddux), 12:20 pm CT, FOX

[Fred Hornkohl]

^^ How can he give up only 1 run but have 2 earned runs?

 

This is the result of trying to pound the proverbial 10 pounds of s*** into a 5 pound sack. I will fix it, thanx.

I think this is the shortest game thread this year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

You're probably right.

[erik316wttn]

Those last 2 pitches were strikes for Maddux 4 years ago....

 

He's far more vocal on the mound right now than I think I've ever seen him.

Let's put up a couple of runs right here and make a winner out of Maddux. He's surely pitched well enough to deserve it !!

[erik316wttn]

See? Good things happen when you work the count.

 

Good AB, Jerry.

[lowest]

nice AB by JHJ.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Quality 9 pitch AB and a single for Hairston !!

[Derwood]

nice to see that I went on a Starbucks run and missed absolutely nothing.

If Maddux plunking Willis is the GWRBI, I'm going to cry in my frappucino

[imb]

maddux isnt actually still in is he?

[Fred Hornkohl]

If Maddux plunking Willis is the GWRBI, I'm going to cry in my frappucino

 

So will Maddux, eh?

[Outshined_One]

If Maddux plunking Willis is the GWRBI, I'm going to cry in my frappucino

 

I'd instead cry about the fact that this team can't score more than one run.

Gotta make sure that option vests, dude.

He's pitched a good game.

 

I get so sick of hearing about his goddamned option.

Well now that it's vested, you won't have to anymore.

 

I wonder how many CG losses Maddux has in his career

[lowest]

another double for burnitz

[Outshined_One]

Runner on second, 1 out...Neifi up.

 

I would not be surprised if he managed to hit into a double play.
