4/30 Cubs (Wells) vs Dbacks (Lopez) 1:20 CSN
erik316wttn replied to TruffleShuffle's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I think it's supposed to be worse than yesterday....at least in the Chicago area in general. I predict a lot of first-pitch swings and easy ground outs for the Northside Nine today. -
Miguel Olivo Passes Kidney Stone DURING GAME

That is a level of badassery known only to a few men in history. -
Son of a bitch.

Ok, who honestly didn't see that coming?
-
Lilly can't find the strike zone with a map and a compass all of a sudden.
-
Come ooooonnnn triple play!
-
Back-to-back walks on a windy day with a flyball pitcher= not good.
-
RBI Theriot. I've seen enough. Bring up Castro. In other news, the Cubs are 30-46 all-time against the D-Backs.
-
Don't bring that metric crap here.

Fontenot HBP. Sotobomb?
-
Come on, Alf. Just get it in the air.
-
Young shouldn't see a single fastball this entire series.
-
Siddown, Justin. Reynolds up, the reigning K king.
-
Because we're Cubs fans. There isn't a whole lot to be positive about.
-
I put the over/under on 15.5 runs scored today.
-
I believe so, yes.
-
I was going to post the video of Ted Lilly throwing his glove down in anger from the 2007 NLDS but I couldn't find it online.
-
Yeah, that's gotta stop. With as hot as he is right now he should be no lower than 6th in the lineup.

I'd like to see Trammel as manager, however seeing as Ryno is a HOF'er who played all but 13 games of his career in a Cubs uniform, I wonder if the organization would feel they "owe" him first chance at the job. I would hope not, but you never know with this team.

God dammit, Lou, you don't have your best hitter in the 8th spot you ninny! :banghead: :banghead:

It's the classic American reaction to a problem: Overreaction. We have a mentality of "We'll make sure it'll never happen again" and then bogus rules like this are implemented. Baseball had such egg on it's face after the 2002 ASG in Selig's own backyard that instead of discouraging managers from using every single player within 9 innings, they came up with a completely asinine game concept in which WS HFA could be determined in an at-bat between a hitter and pitcher on two losing teams who have no shot of even making the postseason. It's not just in baseball, either. The overreactive mentality is why you hear stories of first graders being expelled from school for having plastic butter knives in their lunches in a Draconian response to "Zero Tolerance" policies.

Straight out. And I'm going Sunday, and that looks like the day we get [expletive] on :( Straight out at 25 mph that could be interesting. Looks like today could be even windier than that Hit it high and watch it fly.

Had we scored the go-ahead run that inning........ the game would have over !!!! [B]BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING[/B] Bruney in to pitch for Washington Soriano walked K Hill, pinch hitting for Soto, grounded into a FC, 1-6, Soriano out at second (bunt) Colvin called out on strikes Fukudome, pinch hitting for Zambrano, lined out to right center field 0 runs 0 hits 0 errors 1 men left on base D'oh, for some reason I thought it was the 8th. ](*,)

Apparently.
