Soriano popped out to second base

Marvin Hudson was the home plate ump 3 weeks ago when Zambrano last faced the Padres...... Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter .38 Mon 05/12 San Diego N 12- 3 Zambrano Wolf Great game, but it was cold that night !!

Man, does Zambrano have the "evil eye" working there, or what ??

Why not ?? CUBS are 13-6 when they hit an opposing batter.... 23-15 when they don't Go CUBS !! :wink:

I know !! It messes me up every Thursday !!

Yes !! The truck is in the shop, even as we speak, looking for anything that might catch an inspector's eye. My son and I are going to really have to be diligent in keeping our log books right up to the minute, 'cause that's one of the big things they'll be looking for, and frankly, it's something we get a little lax about at times. We completely lucked out the last 2 years during this inspection blitz; never got called in one time. I'm not expecting to luck out again !!

CUBS are actually 3 games below .500 on the road (10-13), but your point is well taken, just the same.

Jumped the gun, hell !! You were 5 hours late :twisted: Excuse me for sleeping! As we say in the trucking industry...... sleep is highly overrated !! :wink: I'll remember this as I pass multiple trucks this evening on the 210. :shock: Give 'em a wide berth, Navin !! :wink:

Jumped the gun, hell !! You were 5 hours late :twisted:

Fred and erik have 7 this year. 2007 brought us UMFan with 8 and Davhern, Southpaw and Soccer10k with 7 In 2006, the leader was apparently me...with 4. Though we obviously quit on the season. :oops: Looks like the most in 2005 was 5 (Roast, CT, Tree and bukie). 2004 was the year of Bhogg the Game Thread Pimp. The totals you're looking at for 2006 are only through 08 Aug of that year. Everybody did quit on the season. Although I started nearly all the game threads after that point..... I don't think I beat your total of 4, eh? :wink:

Ya mean that time when Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House ??? What was that like, Fred? Ah, swordsman, it was great times !!! Everybody just expected the CUBS (called the Orphans for a while after ol' Cap Anson left) to win..... and they did !! Down in St Louis, the Browns were really bad.... but the Cardinals were worse !!! The only real rival we had back in them days was John McGraw's Giants, but they kept playing guys like Fred Merkel, so that kept things interesting. 1901 thru 1908 World Series team W L pct PA W L Chicago Cubs 710 468 0.603 3 2 1 Detroit Tigers 585 578 0.503 2 0 2 Pittsburgh Pirates 749 436 0.632 1 0 1 Chicago White Sox 666 501 0.571 1 1 0 New York Giants 671 506 0.570 1 1 0 Philadelphia A's 609 510 0.544 1 0 1 Boston Red Sox 603 571 0.514 1 1 0 Cleveland Indians 627 550 0.533 0 0 0 New York Highlanders 564 594 0.487 0 0 0 Cincinnati Reds 566 616 0.479 0 0 0 Philadelphia Phillies 560 610 0.479 0 0 0 St. Louis Browns 538 612 0.468 0 0 0 Brooklyn Dodgers 512 657 0.438 0 0 0 Boston Braves 476 697 0.406 0 0 0 St. Louis Cardinals 461 715 0.392 0 0 0 Washington Senators 438 724 0.377 0 0 0

Ya mean that time when Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House ???

Yeah, that was a real strange set of circumstances. He relieved Zambrano with 2 outs in the 7th, and a 2-2 count on Corey Hart, and proceeded to strike Hart out, throwing 1 pitch. Then he came back out in the 8th striking out J J Hardy on 4 pitches, pinch hitter Gabe Gross on 3 pitches, and got Jason Kendall to pop out on the first pitch. So while he did get 3 Ks on 9 pitches, it really isn't the same kind of circumstance that the original poster was asking about.

Go Pirates !!!

I remember Latroy Hawkins did it on 9 pitches against the Marlins in 2004. Carlos has struck out 3 batters in a 1 inning appearance 3 different times this year, but only once with a PC in the range of 9-10......
