    No official at bat. Scored a sacrifice, reached on fielder's choice.

    So what you're saying is the Cubs shouldn't have staffed the Marlins entire rotation for 2 years of Alfonseca and 1 year of Pierre?

    Pagan would be hard-pressed to perform worse than Jones did last night. At least Pagan is someone I wouldn't mind the Cubs using like they used Pie. Late inning defensive replacement (although he's not much better defensively than Jones), pinch runner, 25th man. And Pie can start every day and get 3-4 plate appearances a day.
  4. bukie
    The only argument against playing Pie is that he can't hit. However, Jones can't hit lefties. So, all things being equal offensively, I'd just as soon prefer the significant defensive upgrade.

    8-13-1986 - First game I ever attended. Fantastic back and forth game. Also notable because of a scrawny rookie CF for the Pirates. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1986/B08130CHN1986.htm 8-29-1989 - This was the magical 9-run, late-inning comeback against Houston, the kind of game where you just knew it was the Cubs' year. http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1989/B08290CHN1989.htm

    Hard to blame the pitching for that one 2 runs in 7 innings for Lilly, 2 runs in 8 innings for the pen. Offense wasn't patient at all today, and that cost them baserunning opportunities. Issues were compounded by overaggressive managerial decisions, running into extra outs when they couldn't be afforded.

    Thanks for swinging at balls 2, 3, and 4, Ramirez.
  8. bukie
    I'm mostly disappointed that the Cubs offense has completely shut down since the 8th inning, basically.

    Theriot, Lee, Ramirez. If they were going to win, they were going to have to score anyway.
  10. bukie
    Obviously, the go ahead run scores on a seeing-eye grounder, a botched sacrifice, ANOTHER botched sacrifice, a HBP, and then a weak sac fly.

    And now he hits Doumit. Wilson up.
  12. bukie
    Come ON, don't walk Zack Duke. Whew, K. Same as a sacrifice, then, I suppose. Doumit up now.
  13. bukie
    Oh, good lord.
  14. bukie
    Suppose there'll be another bunt here.
  15. bukie
    OK, Cotts, they are trying to give a free out away. No need to hit them. Ahh crap, they can't even get the free out.
  16. bukie
    Soriano with a 9-pitch AB. At least that was something.
  17. bukie
    Any chance the Cubs could call somebody up from Iowa and use him to pinch hit before this game ends?
  18. bukie
    What are the odds Soriano takes a walk?
  19. bukie
    Base hit, Hank White!
  20. bukie
    Cubs offense, be patient!
  21. bukie
    Ok, considering how things are going tonight, what's the least likely scenario for a Cub victory tonight? Izturis walk-off? Zambrano walk-off?
  22. bukie
    Hey, an honest to goodness 5-4-3 DP.
  23. bukie
    Eyre going on fumes at this point. Let's hope they are good fumes.
  24. bukie
    Here's one for you...what happens first, game ends, or me hitting 2000 posts?
  25. bukie
    Bay up again, having blown the game for the Pirates in the 11th by singling too hard.
