  1. Gamecenter said teh pitch that Theriot flew out on was dead right in the middle. Why does he try to go the other way with everyting?
  2. Why hit doubles? Absolutely zero chance you come home.
  3. Apparently too much to ask for after taking the first game. It seems like we always are pretty good at taking the first (or the first two in a four game set) game(s) and still struggle to win the series. Darn Cubs. If we're lucky, (and we're not) a Marquis- Petit match up should mean a shoot out. Since we're not lucky, it means we're gonna be blown out.
  4. Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Cubs don't get shut out.
  5. Brewers finally got to the Giants. Still down 6-1 Hopefully we only lose ground to the Cardinals. If only we could have won today...[/b]
  6. at this rate, perfect won't be good enough. At least we are getting hits. Usually we go down in order. I think we got a good shot.
  7. I don't know whats more impressive, Chris Young's 26 home runs or his .288 on base percentage. You actually have to try to not reach base as much as he could with as much power as he has.
  8. That wasn't even good contact. I'm not unimpressed with how far he got it.
  9. I just...really don't know what these guys are swinging at.
  10. Fixed. pitchers being able to get a bunt down is important. And I guarantee you that you guys complain about it more than the problem is. I see no proof that our pitchers are worse than any other national league team's pitchers at laying down a bunt. Who cares about what the rest of the league is doing? I want our pitchers to be able to do something at the plate. Because you might be expecting something that is impossible? You can't expect our pitchers to lay down every bunt perfectly. There is far more important things to worry about on our team than how well our pitchers are bunting. It's impossible to lay down a bunt? In my opinion, bunting is one of the easiest aspects of the game. All it takes is a little practice. I'm not expecting every pitcher to be able to lay a perfect bunt down every time, but it seems like nearly every time we need a bunt, they foul the first two off and K. It's not an unimportant aspect of the game, and you thinking so is pretty ridiculous. I just don't think we are any better or worse than the league average.
  11. Derrek Lee is pissing the crap out of me with his constant attempts at hitting into double plays.

  13. We routinely waste bases loaded no outs. Whats the surprise with this one?

  15. Remember that one play where Murton got gunned down? So yes, and then he wont score.
  16. Jones politely grounds out to the first basemen. Pretty much the most we could hope for.
