Outshined_One

That was honestly one of the better seventh inning stretches I've seen in awhile.

Michael Brenly is in the lineup for Boise! :yahoo:

Yeah, but I always figured Donaldson for a decent power guy. I get the feeling that LD% will be higher by season's end.

I had the same thoughts after seeing the Chiefs not too long ago. The dude just looks like a catcher and plays the position well for someone with his limited amount of experience. I have a feeling he'll get his bat back on track in the second half of the season since his BABIP has been unusually low.

Between TV cameras, microphones, 4 umps on the field, the opposing team watching the Cubs' dugout like hawks (come on, like they're not trying to steal signs too?), and tens of thousands of fans in attendance, you'd have to set up an enormously sophisticated system to pull something off with the hand-operated scoreboard and not get caught doing it. Frankly, I'm guessing this load of crap is coming from the White Sox. They've accused the Rangers of something similar to this before and it was just as baseless and stupid.

He actually kind of looked like he was feeling pressured into winning the game there in that at bat, swinging at everything, not a good at bat but we all know what he can do, and what this team can do they just didn't do it for 9 innings tonight. It would be one thing if this sort of thing only came up in pressure situations, but he does that freaking awkward helicopter swing any time a slider/change LHP is on the mound pounding the outside corner. It drives me insane.

Like, oh, I dunno, last Friday and Saturday. How was Saturday a clutch hit? It was the 4th inning. Let's play the "define clutch" game! Can I be meph?? I can make derisive comments without providing any substance and only hinting at my genius which should be obvious to you fools!

Is it me or does Fukudome always have trouble against LHPs with a decent breaking ball low and away?

I'm having flashbacks to 2006.

Henry Blanco?! Is Dusty Baker back to managing this team?

Lean into it!

That was quick.

That kind of worked.

GIDeRosa coming up!

Edmonds looks like trash against LHPs. I'm glad Lou decided to sit him.

Got a pitch to hit and got under it. Nuts.

Michael Brenly is not in the lineup for Boise tonight...again. :x

Of all the freaking luck...

Might want to work on your bunting a little bit, Sean.

Gallagher, Marshall, and Cedeno would have been in on the Roberts deal it seems.

David Eckstein is currently sitting in Toronto with his Curtis Granderson voodoo doll.

That Italian Beef sandwich looked deliciouser, imo.

Shaka Khan? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
