[Transmogrified Tiger]

The old sac bunt on the second hitter of the game. A timeless classic.

So does anyone even post in these threads anymore?

 

Cedeno almost beat tha bunt out.

 

and this trend of our Pitchers giving up HR continues.

[eburgcub]

Wow, so far Prior is getting hit. Hopefully this doesn't keep up.

[Flames24Rulz]

not that bad of a strategy considering your RBI guys are due next and you have a runner at 3rd with only one out. Inexcusable by both DLee and Burnitz to not drive home that run. They should've at least got 1 in the 1st.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edwards homered to left field

Navarro singled to center fied

Cruz struck out swinging

Especially good when your starter is getting hit in the first

[Careless]

Wow, it's nice when nomar can actually play

[Fred Hornkohl]

NOMAH !!

[E.J.]

Nomar is on fire.

Terrible strategy considering that Hairston is already at second, and it's the second batter of the game. Why give away an out? They played for 1 and didn't even get that, it's terrible baseball on all fronts.

Wasn't Don Baylor pilloried for bunting with the 2nd batter of the game?

 

It's terrible strategy. It also shows what kind of confidence Baker has in Cedeno

Nomar is on fire.

It's an important month for his next contract (sept, I mean)

[Careless]

Don't worry, after cedeno dropped the transfer on that (unlikely) double play attempt, baker will be sitting him.

[badger1679666666]

It sure is nice watching some rookies. It's nice to have something to look forward to this last month. Who else do you think they will bring up Sept. 1st.

I wish the Cubs would get 2 more runs for Prior.

[Laura]

10 in a row before that. Maybe it will wear out Penny.
