  1. No more crazy than someone putting a hill and a flag pole in centerfield. :D I don't know about that; "Hold on, we need to stop play to let the train through"....that would've been pretty wild. Yeah but that train could run over Neifi going back for a popup. There is un upside. :) The Cubs should put one through Wrigley as a rally killer. Since our offense only comes in bursts anyways it wouldn't have much of an effect on us, but it might help out the pitching.
  2. Pettitte pops out to center to end the inning.
  3. No more crazy than someone putting a hill and a flag pole in centerfield. :D They should have added a windmill and a giant plaster dinosaur while they were at it. I could see someone like Ichiro running up and sitting on the dinosaur waiting for a flyball to come down.
  4. Ausmus called out on strikes...I think he's hitless in something like 38 straight AB's now.

  6. It looks to me like Prior is starting to get fatigued and is dropping his elbow. His pitches are really starting to float in the zone.
  7. Train tracks running through the field? That would've been interesting to see.
  8. Ensberg with a long fly to center, Pierre grabs it just before the hill.
  9. He didn't really fall apart, the ball was just hit where they weren't. The two RBI were on a slow roller up the middle and a duck snort...not much you can do about those types of hits. I agree that you can't do much about those two hits. However, the walk and the hit batsman are inexcusable. Without them, Lamb and Berkman don't bat that inning. The walk was bad but I hate those type of HBP calls. I know that if it touches the jersey it counts but the ball was still a few inches from even touching flesh. He went inside and caught jersey, I don't really blame him there. I'm not sure but wasn't it a 3-1 count anyway and it would have been ball 4 anyway? I do believe it was a 2-2 count, I think he was trying to setup the outside corner.

  11. Ronny pops out to left center to end the inning.
  12. Murton with yet another DP ball; 6-4-3.
  13. Nevin with a flare single into right field.

  15. Wilson with a comebacker to end the inning; 26 pitches for Prior in that inning.
  16. Berkman drops a blooper into center, Taverez scores.
  17. Lamb singles past a diving Cedeno, Biggio scores.
  18. The last pitch was #50 for Prior today.
  19. Tavarez reaches by way of a HBP....the ball barely grazed his jersey.
  20. Ramirez may be slumping but he's still very dangerous. Yeah, but I'd still rather pitch to ARAM. And if they had the Cubs would not have scored. Ramirez hit the ball as hard as you can hit it, if Ensberg isn't there and Lee was walked 2 runs would've scored. LOL...where would Ensberg have went to? He only took 1 step before the ball was to him, if he's off line a step or two more he probably wouldn't have gotten close to it.
