Outshined_One

Oh dear God. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What the hell was that curve clocked at?

You could, but you can't pick very many other guys beyond Lincecum who could do a better job of mowing the Cubs down.

I wouldn't bet against it Happily, Pie is back to hitting well in Iowa.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ? Cain vs. Marquis it the only matchup there not in our favor really Facing Lincecum period is never a matchup in our favor.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Ramirez hit that at about the same time Howard got his basehit. :D

Hopefully out enjoying the weather.

That was awesome, Griffey.

What happened? From the sound of gatewayredbirds, he sucked pretty much off the bat and looked terrible.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Looks like one of those effectively wild outings is in store for Carlos. Those are always fun. You never know when he'll walk the bases loaded or retire nine straight batters on 20 pitches. Dangit Rammy.

Gaudin is already in the Cubs' pen. I'm curious to see what his stuff looks like.

Tim Hudson!

I ate a banana!

Welp, no need for a sac bunt there.

Mike Fonteneaux!

Dempster doesn't have his best stuff tonight, but the ump is squeezing him around the edges of the zone.

Hairston giveth many a web gem tonight.

Magic.

Mike Fontenot loves him some Banks Boulevard.

Ezequiel Astacio and it's not even close. He looks like a burn victim.

4 pitch walk, 3 pitch strike out. Sounds about right.
