    Except Bob Howry. Unless just the one HR was better than the expectation.

    Inside the park, the only good food is the Chicago dogs. Not the regular hot dogs, you have to go to the special booths around the park. With grilled onions is best. Don't ruin it with ketchup either! Old Style isn't for everyone, but I always enjoy one with the game also.

    A few mind bogglers from Yost tonight: - Why leave him in there to face Lee after 120 pitches, especially when Lee's been hitting well and CC's been struggling (for him) all night? Sure, the pen may not be good, but there had to be a better option. - Why double switch out Hart in the 9th? Is Kapler that much better of a defender? Because Torres likely shouldn't have gone two. - Why leave in Gagne to face Ward when you have one lefty and the Cubs have no righty PHs? It worked, but that was playing the long odds there.

    The Brewers hardly beat themselves. They blew one defensive play and saved themselves several other runs (of course, a couple were thanks to 3rd base coach Mike Quade). The Cubs had chances all night and barely converted (finally in the 9th). The Brewers had chances in one inning and got the most of it.

    This game really shouldn't have been even as close as it was. The Brewers offense was held in check but for one inning, and the Cub offense had chances all night. Eventually the Cubs are going to start converting on their fair share of chances, and the runs will come more frequently.

    Edmonds unavailable?
  7. bukie
    He missed a strike on a 3-2 pitch. How do you have more patience in that AB?
  8. bukie
    Yes, if you switch that and replace "Cubs" with "Sammy Sosa".
  9. bukie
    Well, Yost didn't double switch out his all-star LF, he double-switched out his all-star RF.

    Seems like it's been 4 months since Fukudome hit a clutch HR in the 9th.

    In the name of instant history, I'm liking Gaudin and Samardzija right now.
  12. bukie
    Lou didn't burn Gaudin, btw. Not sure if Gameday is saying otherwise. They just decided to walk Fielder and let Gaudin go after Hart.

    Jeff Samardzija

    kinda what i was thinking...if you're going to throw out ridiculous nicknames at least make sense with them. I was more thinking how far Illinois football has come in the last year for a Buckeye fan to have enough disdain to come up with a crappy nickname for it.

    Now that was a "Major League" pitchout.
  16. bukie
    99 MPH fastball. Think he's amped?
  17. bukie
    Odds that he walks the first batter he faces? I'd put them at even.

    Welcome to the bigs, Shark. Get people out.

    JOHNSOWNED!! Nelson was totally scared of his power. If Lou brings up Ward here..... ugh. Who do you suggest? Not pulling Dempster, that is what I suggest. Dempster is at 110 pitches. What you suggest would be foolish.
  20. bukie
    Who did you think was going to PH? Ward has one job on this team, and that is to PH against righties.
  21. bukie
    Swinging bunt from Fontenot. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd.
  22. bukie
    Why? The reliever is a righty.
  23. bukie
    Johnson lasts just 5 1/3, throwing 90 pitches.
  24. bukie
    I'm a little concerned that Jeff Samardzija's welcome to the major leagues will be Hanley Ramirez.
  25. bukie
    Finally a somewhat efficient inning for Dempster. Should be all for him, though.
