9/28 - Pittsburgh (Maholm) @ CUBS (Prior) 1:20 CDT, WGN TV

In the same way that striking out Barry Bonds is a serious achievement, I think that walking Jose Macias should be equally celebrated, on the basis that it's at least as hard to do.

 

Harder to do.

[Derwood]

Lee's K numbers seem to be skewing sharply towards the mean in the 2nd half, eh?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Nomar's showing some decent wheels since his injury...hard to tell how much he's still feeling it now that he's at 3B.

Its too bad we may never see the numbers Nomar could put up during a full season.

A lot of his numbers are, but it would have been difficult for anyone besides Bonds and Pujols to keep up his ridiculous first half pace.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Meh, I turn away from an 0-2 count for one minute and there are two on and none out.

[Derwood]

Good lord, who the heck ARE these Pirate players?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, Nomar.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

hahaha, good thing the runner had his head down. that could have been all she wrote for him.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Prior, stop choking.

[Derwood]

bullpen up yet?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

thank you, CPat.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

And just like that, I lost control of the only TV in the house that has WGN (so my grandma can see her soap operas). :( I'm off to the gym.

Len and Bob will have to do another game from the bleachers next year. I went home for lunch so I could watch some of it, great stuff!

 

I think it's interesting that the footnote was added that Riot would have been starting had he not got sick. When someone makes sure to point that out it's as though they know that Macias-Perez is in fact worth avoiding.

[Derwood]

Seriously, who kidnapped Mark Prior and put this guy out there? Giving up hits to the opposing pitcher? Is his confidence totally shot or what?

[Derwood]

Prior at 57 pitches through 3 IP

Didn't someone ask Len Kasper in that interview if they would ever broadcast from the bleachers?

yes.

 

They should just put the first batter of each inning on first and save Prior the pitches.

i can't help but feel that if the cub players would have been able to make it to the bank and laundromat today, they wouldn't be getting one hit.

I see he's chugging along at his usual pace..... actually now that I think about it he's a little below that pace. Good job MP!

Driving a dirty car always makes me feel bad about myself

This game is so interesting that Pat and Ron are critiquing each other's food.

Nice, 3-0

[TheDude]

Pat and Ron sound as disinterested and lifeless as I have ever heard them. Ron in particular sounds like he "broadcasting through the pain".
