5/1/08 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cubs (Zambrano): 1:20 PM CDT

[And That]

As much as it is to see Fielder running into people, not a smart send by Sveum. Zambrano looked like he was about to lose it, and a lefty was coming up.

Derrick Turnbow in the dugout. That's nice to see.

I have a hard time believing he's pitching today after 43 pitches last night, oh yeah the overall outing might have something to do with it as well. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Prince actually could have been safe if we took the late slide there, Soto was too busy trying to brace himself for impact--not that I blame him though

 

edit--maybe not. after the 1st replay I thought Soto was a little behind the plate, either way he is lucky to have survived that

[olsonnet]

Awful decision to send Prince there. He's not fast, Fukudome has a good arm, and having him out at the plate gives all the momentum back to the Cubs.

[pebadger]

He was out by a mile. Had way too much time to brace himself. Tough call for teh 3B coach there, given Fukudome's arm.

[trwi7]

Why does Ryan Theriot continue to own us?

[And That]

Ryan Theriot is quickly becoming one of my most hated Cubs.

[Weeks4MVP]

but that lefty was craig counsell who looks lost up there today

I saw that too. He was bailing out at the last second. If I am Prince I am thinking about that the next time there is a close play at the plate. Why was he sent anyways? That wasn't even close.

The pitcher was Zambrano, who was starting to get that crazy look in his eyes. Well, the extra-crazy look.

Thats funny, because thats how Cubs feel also.

[bacon06]

Prince went a little high with his hit, I think if he would have lowered himself a little more it would have been more effective. Or you know, getting a stop sign from Svuem would have been the correct answer too, but you work with what you got.

[pebadger]

Counsell looks less lost than the guy calling the strikes.

[Sheets4theHOF]

theriot obviously has the outside fastball figured out. gotta start busting him inside.

[jjfanec]

Why does Ryan Theriot continue to own us?

Because we pitch him up in the zone. The Cubs announcers have said thats what he likes and that is what we are giving him. And because we usually get owned by guys who arent that good.

 

[Sheets4theHOF]

what a crazy game so far

[ELCABALLO45]

If a run would of scored, I think Zambrano would of killed Reed Johnson and Fukudome... no joking..

 

 

EDIT: What just happened lol

[sheetswannabe]

what the heck just happened

[GormanHarvey]

I think you had to try to score there with 2 outs. I doubt Sveum has any more confidence in Counsell than I do

[sheethead]

This game is getting out of control. Let's get back to some normalcy please!

[And That]

Yay for Theriot on that play.

[jjfanec]

I like Theriot a little more now. Dumb base running

[And That]

"Derrick Lee singles on a groundball to shortstop Craig Counsell. Ryan Theriot out at third, first baseman Prince Fielder to third baseman Bill Hall. Derrek Lee to second on the throw." Clearly.

[theavrock]

what the heck just happened

 

Grounder into the hole and Craig was falling down trying to make the throw. Ball got under Rickies glove and Theriot took off towards third base. Prince was backing up the throw and gunned Theriot at third. On the throw Lee took second base.
