Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 The Cubs got absolutely shelled tonight, plain and simple. With Johnson throwing like the Randy Johnson of old, they only needed one run. I attribute the Cubs' 180 to my comments that I made in Al's baseball column this week. You'll note that I made mention of how reliable Zambrano is, how great the bullpen has been and how the Cubs' offense has come alive. The opposite was true on all counts tonight. Oh well, that's bound to happen during the season. I will say that Zambrano's age and emotions really became apparent tonight. I've always admired the spirit and emotion he's shown for the game, but he was like a little leaguer on the mound tonight. Granted he wasn't getting some calls that he should've, but his reactions were quite juvenille. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 This Os/Mariners game is like watching paint dry. Not even through the 2nd inning (over an hour to play an inning and a half) and Gil Meche has thrown 70 pitches, but its only 1-0 Orioles. Matt Riley has a high pitch count too.

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Ted Lilly is in some kinda zone tonight. Only 2 hits for the Twins through 8 and he's probably done for the night with a 6-1 lead. Twins can never hit Lilly, and Radke's a piece of crap. They can't hit Batista either apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Well, the A's bullpen proves to be worthless and disgraceful as they blow an 8-4 lead, and it is now 10-8 yankees.......Did I mention that I hate the goddamn yankees.....FUUUUUUUUCK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Luckiest inning ever. Beyond Sierra's double there wasn't one hard hit ball by the Yankees, just little grounders that I couldn't believe got through. Just a sickening way to lose this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 Okay what was Ken Macha smoking? Pinch hitting for Scutaro instead of Menechino? Unreal. RELEASE THAT LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Menechino is just horrible and he was even getting heckled by his own fans this weekend. He hasn't hit a fucking thing since the first half of 2001 and has zero range defensively. The only thing he can do is get hit by a pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 That inning was brutal. Looking at the score, you'd assume the Yanks finally hit the ball well, but like Bored said, aside from Sierra's double, there wasn't a hard-hit ball. Rincon just absolutely sucked out there, hence the endless string of walks. I'm watching the Phillies / Cards game somewhat and it's funny because Joe Buck was reading scores from around the league and noted that the score of the A's / Yanks game was 5-4, A's. And that was two minutes ago. A bit outdated I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 This Cubs / D-Back series is just incredibly depressing. Mitre seems to have a good start and then a bad start. It's already looking like it's over, as it's now 6-0 and Baker went to the pen early. Unfortunately, he brought in Wuertz, who's just been horrible. And the two chances the Cubs have had to score, they've blown it. And why? Because they're a power team and if they're not hitting home runs, they're blowing big scoring chances. I'm already stressed as it is, but this is just making it unbearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2004 I feel sorry for the Expos. They're 5-16. So far, they've scored 36 runs, 30 LESS than the next team. They've got a team OBP of .260, and a team Slugging Percentage of .288. All are last in the league by a wide margin. If Nick Johnson and Carl Everett don't make it back soon, this could be the worst team in baseball history. And I blame Bud Selig. On a bright note, Philadelphia pitchers lead baseball in not walking anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
