2012-04-09 Brewers (Marcum) at Cubs (Volstad), 6:05 PM CDT [Brewers win, 7-5]

[GormanHarvey]

Thank god we have Ishikawa so we can all experience an Izturis PA

 

He hit that ball almost as weakly as I expected him to

[Yeti73]

Agree 100% that it may just click. So far I feel very encouraged by everything but the Aramis contract, which I initially was for.

[moofnelson]

Wow. Sean McDonough: The Cubs are going to be hard-pressed to win 71 games. This is a bad looking club.

[dlk9s]

dlk9s...its funny you say that as I too have always thought Gamel just looks like a ball player

 

I think what we're saying is that Mat Gamel looks like a gritty battler.

Not to mention, a gamer

Tim Dillard = no bueno.

[endaround]

Managing by the save stat. Got to love it.

[Yeti73]

Is it me or is Dillard only decent when the team is behind by 4+ runs and when ahead 4+ runs he is good for a couple of earned runs?

[Oxy]

Tim Dillard may not be long for the Major Leagues.

[rluzinski]

The Cubs have a 4% chance of winning. Time to use Axford for a second consecutive night.

I think you mean a grity batttler.

I see what you're saying, but I'm not sure if that's the case here. Dillard didn't do his job and RR probably just wants to get this game the hell over with.

[rluzinski]

Why have they basically abandoned Foxtrax?

[coolcool]

Anyone see ax's tweet yesterday?

 

Well at least my ERA is half of what it started at last year! #ThatsAStart

[moofnelson]

Nice play Magehee.

[trwi7]

That was adorable, Aramis.

[dlk9s]

Why have they basically abandoned Foxtrax?

 

Because it sucked.

 

EDIT: But they haven't abandoned Buck and McCarver...go figure.

[coolcool]

I thought the defense was better this year? Not impressed.

[adamb100]

This is bad.

[MVP2110]

uh oh....

[Schlitz001]

My head is going to explode.

[moofnelson]

Why does Braun throw to third to allow the hitter to advance to second. Pure stupid. Soriano stupid.

[Vgmastr]

Of course because Roenicke had to get cute instead of just starting the inning with Ax, we've now depleted most of our bullpen with the possibility of extra innings.

[MillerParkSouth]

I miss Hawkins and Saito.

[pebadger]

Lots of bad this inning, but you get what you deserve when you run Parra and Dillard out there in a game at Wrigley where the wind is blowing out.

 

One more out . . .
