Would you cheer for the Cubs if they were the best in MLB?

 

Not with Baker managing. Thing is I wouldn't cheer for them necessarily. I'd be happy if they represented Chicago in a World Series. I'd also pull for them if it meant an El-Series (much like the Subway Series).

Gah!

 

Eli Marrero hits one that bounces off the left field wall away from the LFer, and he had his mind up that he was going for the ITPHR, but he ran out of gas around 3rd and Young hit the relay perfectly.

 

He should have been held up at 3rd with 2 outs..ugh.

I heard on the YES Network that he was conscience, remembered what happened, and can move and everything. So good news.

Apparently, the Jays could have Halladay back by the beginning of August, which would be less than a month after he broke his leg. He threw off the mound today and I guess he didn't show any ill effects. Awesome news, plus they killed the Angels tonight, to boot.

I wish the Cub hitters would understand that the wind blowing straight in at about 840 MPH is going to making hitting homers damn near impossible tonight. Congrats to Greg, too.

Well, the Mets' offense regressed back to being completely pathetic. What's most frustrating is that Mike Cameron not only couldn't come through in two potentially game-winning situations, but that he struck out looking in both situations. Absolutely maddening.

 

I just can't understand how they can score with ease at Shea in the last two series and then go to Colorado of all places and earn six runs over two games. Against lousy pitching, no less.

Porter, it's best to not ask, just ignore Bob.

 

 

 

Anywho, glad that Clement appears to be OK. It was nasty to watch, especially since the ball landed all the way in left field. And the Red Sox won the game to boot, which is always nice. Schilling seems to be struggling in the pen, hopefully he comes around soon...

I was just reading on how much Cecil Fielder screwed his family with his gambling. Hopefully for them Prince Fielder becomes a succesful big leaguer.

If Jose Macias pinch-hits for Maddux I'm gonna scream.

 

EDIT: Phew. You see, Maddux only has 57 pitches through six, so I wanted him to remain in the game. Also, Macias is awful.

 

He sure struggled in the seventh, though. I swear to god, the Cubs can't ever have a 1-2-3 top of the seventh in Wrigley.

They should just forfeit any game where the wind's blowing in. It's not like they're facing great pitching or anything. You don't pay much attention to it when they're teeing off, but games like this, where their cleanup hitter can't get a run in from third with one out, it's quite maddening. Especially with the Astros winning and the Cards on their way.

Unless Korey Patterson did a run-in and knocked Hairston out with a bat (after a couple of swing and misses, of course), there's no reason for him to be out when it's likely he'll get at least another plate appearance tonight.
