Santo scores the game? Cool.

Wrong vowel Wrong consonant, imo.

Like I said earlier, that slow curve in the strike zone will get him killed.

I enjoy watching Carlos Lee dodging various projectiles. That was quick.

You serious? It was a belt high fastball right down the middle that was scorched. It would have been a basehit up the middle anyways. DeRosa was positioned perfectly to get that one if it got through. Moreover, if Gallagher picked that, that likely would have been 2.

That probably would have been a double play if it got through.

Argh, lucky hit.

Slow curveballs make for easy steals.

Hats for bats. With Sammy and Moises gone, I've been wondering who was going to take over the Pedro Cerrano role on the team.

This inning has been Dusty-like.

Golf club cover = Bathead warmer.

He unleashed his other curveball this inning (the slow one). He needs to be careful with using it, since that's a pitch that will get hammered when in the strike zone.

FukuRange!

Hoff-Double!

It wasn't just Gameday. Len and Bob were confused. Joe West did not do a good job of signaling a strike when Ramirez didn't hold up on his check swing.

I think Derrek's slump is over. :blink:

I <3 the Fuku Wok!

On a fun note, the Bulls managed to get a $5.2m trade exception in the Wallace/Gooden trade earlier in the season. It should help a lot if the Bulls want to swing any big deals in the offseason. And if the Bulls could somehow get the #2 pick from the Heat, well, that'd be one of the craziest and bestest days of my sports life.

Tyler Colvin's plate discipline has increased noticeably this season, but the rest of his numbers have not caught up yet. Pie, EPatt, Marshall, Hill, Hart, and Murton are all worth watching in AAA for obvious reasons. After that...yeah, it's a disappointing season in the minors. A lot of last year's top names either have graduated from prospect status, have been hurt, or have been slumping. The same can be said for a lot of the potential sleepers in the lower levels. If you remove Pie, Patterson, and Gallagher from the picture, Josh Vitters might be the only Cub prospect in the discussion for the Top 100. Tyler Colvin might be in the discussion, but he needs to get his power numbers up to a respectable level before people give him that acknowledgment. Hopefully the summer sees a productive draft with some breakout performances from various names. Otherwise, this might be a long season.

With 4 runs in the 10th, Peoria wins and breaks their 7 game losing streak.
