  1. Fortunately, the Cub offense has been good enough all around so that an overall disappointing first day for Edmonds has been overcome by this point. Remember, Hendry needed an extra LH bat in the lineup in CF.
  2. C'mon Ronny. Been a while since you hit a grand slam.
  3. Oh geez. Edmonds up with the bags loaded now in the 7th.
  4. 88 through 7 for Dempster. He'll probably come out to pitch the 8th, but if I were Lou, I'd have, say, Wuertz warming up. If the 8th goes quick and easy, Wuertz can start the 9th. Otherwise, Wuertz in the 8th, Wood in the 9th.
  5. Despite his .210 average, I am concerned about Greene here.
  6. In his small sample size, Edmonds is hitting .333/.333/.333/.667 . Not sure how that's necessarily proving anything about being better or worse than Reed Johnson or Felix Pie.
  7. Nobody told Blanco that Maddux was done pitching.
  8. 4 run inning or 4+ run inning? If the latter, we scored 5 runs and 6 runs in an inning on Monday.. No, 4 run inning. They always get 5.
  9. That was the Cubs first 4-run inning since Ronny's grand slam vs. the Mets.
  10. The only thing needed to top this game off is a big Edmonds hit.
  11. Warning track power. C'mon Aramis, haven't had a 5-run inning in a while.
  12. Soriano is an awful matchup for Maddux, because Soriano can hit strikes, and Maddux doesn't often waste pitches.
  13. Cub offense has decided that being patient just doesn't work with Maddux. 5 pitches, 4 singles.
  14. Let's see how a lucky bounce can get the Padres out of this inning.
  15. If that solo home run is by Edmonds, I'm curious how some people will accept it.
  16. You offer a new perspective I had not previously considered.
  17. how's the math today? 12 outs, four have been used up while he's at-bat. Right? Unless he caused an out during his single...no.
  18. There were cheers. He's ruined everything today, though, by somehow making a wild pitch bounce off the wall while he was batting to kill one rally, then GIDP to kill a second.
  19. Has anyone mentioned that today's Padres lineup's offensive numbers look pitiful?
  20. Well, I think some people came up with nicknames, but those posts were deleted. I've yet to see a clever one that wasn't derogatory.
  21. Maddux has thrown 4 pitches outside the strike zone to Ramirez. He's thrown 7 pitches outside the zone to the rest of the team.
  22. Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome, Edmonds due up in the fourth for the Cubs. Yeah, still looks strange.
  23. Ump definitely seems to have a generous zone today, though.
  24. With some pitchers, too much patience can be a detriment, as the most hittable pitch you'll see will be the first one.
