  1. Seems like it's been 4 months since Fukudome hit a clutch HR in the 9th.
  2. In the name of instant history, I'm liking Gaudin and Samardzija right now.
  3. 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.
  4. Jeff Samardzija
  5. 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.
  6. Now that was a "Major League" pitchout.
  7. 99 MPH fastball. Think he's amped?
  8. Odds that he walks the first batter he faces? I'd put them at even.
  9. Welcome to the bigs, Shark. Get people out.
  10. 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.
  11. Who did you think was going to PH? Ward has one job on this team, and that is to PH against righties.
  12. Swinging bunt from Fontenot. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd.
  13. Johnson lasts just 5 1/3, throwing 90 pitches.
  14. I'm a little concerned that Jeff Samardzija's welcome to the major leagues will be Hanley Ramirez.
  15. Finally a somewhat efficient inning for Dempster. Should be all for him, though.
  16. With a name like Hoover, he's either got to be a great defender, or a heavy eater.
  17. Finally working Johnson a bit here.
  18. Reed Johnson now has 5 HRs on the year, 4 of them against righties.
  19. How many so far vance? 69 pitches through 4 for Demp. If he can get a couple of 15 pitch innings, there's still a possibility of 7.
  20. And right on cue, three straight strikes to the 8 hitter and he's out of the inning.
  21. Dempster's thrown 1 strike in his last 12 pitches, and somehow has two outs to show for it.
  22. I'd enjoy nothing more than seeing him pitch the 8th and 9th of an 10-2 game today. Preferably one that the Cubs were winning.
  23. So, hopefully, you'll start the game thread after next year's first loss.
  24. It seems that teams have adjusted to Marmol by largely never swinging at the slider and waiting for a mistake fastball. As long as Marmol can throw the slider for strikes, he's unstoppable.
