5-1 Orioles

Cubs haven’t lost at home in over a month.

He's extremely quick and good.

6-1

Len is not enthused.

7-1

now 7-1

Trying to cook a late dinner and the Flubbies are making it hard.

The best part

From the front of Jsonline

Dave Bush gave up just four hits and seven innings and the Brewers sscored four runs in the first three innings thanks to the help of four Atlanta errors as the Brewers held off the Atlanta Braves

Coffee is for closers

Yeah

A really good pitcher wouldn’t give up 7 innings. That puts him at a flat 7.00 Earned Inning Average, which is flat out unacceptable.

by jihad on Jun 24, 2008 8:56 PM CDT to parent up   1 recs

nah, I think that's a 9.00 EIA

He did give up those 7 innings in 7 innings.

That sentence makes me wonder...

Which two teams were playing again?

esurance

Wow, they went from really annoying Saturday morning kids show ripoff commercials to bizarre indie music commercials.

He's extremely quick and good.

Road records

Brewers: 18-21
Cubs: 16-20

He's extremely quick and good.

more road records

Holy crap, only five teams in the majors have a positive road record right now?! (And two barely so, Yankees at 19-18 and A’s at 17-16.)

You have only one bullet

Do you use it on Edmonds or Zambrano?

That seals it

Edmonds it is.

He's extremely quick and good.

7-4

Something I didn't note about Jeffress before

He had a 10/2 GO/AO ratio. Very nice.

He's extremely quick and good.

lame

friggin Orioles must have West Nile

by ol Pete on Jun 24, 2008 9:17 PM CDT   0 recs

4 straight road wins now, too

If I’m eyeballing it correctly, that’s the first time since June 13-16 last year. The last time prior to that was way back in 2004, June 26 to July 1st (5 game winning streak!).

lol

don’t tell Suppan

by ol Pete on Jun 24, 2008 9:19 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Close

I believe they haven’t swept a 3 game series on the road since June 29-July 1, 2004 in Colorado. They swept a 2-game series in Pittsburgh to start 2005.

Orioles bringing in the knuckle scraper guy

Tying run at the plate, Dork Lee

by ol Pete on Jun 24, 2008 9:40 PM CDT   0 recs

Lee grounds into fielder's choice

Rooster Ramirez singles in another run 7-5. Its like blood in the water. Anybody on the Orioles got some avocados?

At least he’s throwing strikes

Murton

That won’t help his stock in the Cubs’ organization.

Heh

A franchise that let Corey Patterson roam around center for four years would probably really like Tony Gwynn, Jr.

Seems like something's wrong with Marmol

I of course don’t want anyone to be hurt or anything, but if he inexplicably lost his command for the next month or so I would not be sad about it.

Stupid shortstop – cover second

by ol Pete on Jun 24, 2008 10:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

In tonight's feature event

...of George Sherill loading the bases with nobody out, the role of Bill Hall will be played by Ronny Cedeno.

by Et tu Brewte on Jun 24, 2008 10:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

bk, if you're around

Zack Jackson and Hernan Irabarren have merged in the 40-man roster widget on the left side there, they’re on the same line- you might want to fix that up a bit.

by jihad on Jun 24, 2008 10:04 PM CDT   0 recs

And now a lefty Fukudome

to face former LOOGY Sherril.

Can Blanco succeed...

Where Corky Miller failed? Backup catcher pride is on the line.

by Et tu Brewte on Jun 24, 2008 10:09 PM CDT   0 recs

The season has become too weird

First Bill Hall is brought in as a defensive replacement for someone, and now the Cubs use Henry Blanco as a pinch hitter. I expect Armando Benitez to be called into a one-run, bases-loaded, no out jam soon enough.

C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk

My god, Fresno State?

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs and Bulldogs have combined for 28 runs?

Just what the Cubs wanted

Roberts got his 1,000th career hit at Wrigley on a triple.

by molitorfan on Jun 24, 2008 10:25 PM CDT   0 recs

should've stopped the game and done something

I guess for a video presentation they’d have to bring out a tv on a cart.

by ol Pete on Jun 24, 2008 10:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

They wanted to do that, I hear

But all they could find in the Wrigley Field storerooms were old newsreel projectors.

Braves fan game recap

Let’s see: 3 errors in the 1st inning, 1 RBI “double” in the 2nd to BJ in LF (terrible misplay, ran in instead of back), 4 total errors, 2 by Frenchy, first 9 batters all got out, TWO line-drive DPs to 1B, Esco tossed for slamming his helmet when he got doubled off 1st, only 5 hits on offense against a 5 ERA pitcher, and 1 XBH. We completely suck.
