Mik 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Marlins have been on a bit of a winning streak lately. They're dangerously close to surpassing the Pirates and no longer having the worst record in the NL! Yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 When I left Comerica, the Cubs were up 2-1 in the 7th, but I didn't expect them to hold it. I came home and see they're in the 13th after having made a 9th-inning comeback. But I also see that for some reason, both Jones and Murton are out of the game and thus, we have an outfield of Bynum, Pierre, and Mabry. Huh?! P.S. the Youkillis homer was a pure markout moment.

Bored 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 The A's game clocked in at a brisk 2:03, probably one of the shortest games I've been too. I was at the game with my brother and with the A's up 1-0 in the 8th inning I thought they were pressing their luck by hoping Kirk Saarloos would continue to pitch a shutout even with a low pitch count. He walked the lead off batter in the inning, Justin Morneau was up next and in the middle of the at bat I told my brother "you know, the A's are gong to lose this game." Next pitch, homerun, Twins win 2-1. I'm a pessimistic prophet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Walker came dangerously close to washing away their scoring chance there, but hey, game of inches and all. I don't wish it had kept going, but it would've been interesting to see who the Cards would've sent out there if there had been a 15th. They were out of pitchers, so a position player probably would've had to take the mound. It seems like no matter how bad the Cubs are, they seem to be able to pluck more wins than they should against the Cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And man, oh man, do Astros fans thank them for that. Yeah, but it's weird how well the Cubs play against the Cardinals.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Yeah, you guys fucked up tonight. It was 5-3 LA when I last checked the score, now it's 8-6 Phillies. How DO you walk 2 guys, give up 3 hits and 5 ER without recording an out in just 17 pitches anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Nomar is 15-19 past the 7th inning over his last 20 games. Guzman can make an early impact. A double play impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naiwf 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Nomar and Tim Thomas clearly made deals with the devil at roughly the same time. I'd love to see Flash give up a 3 run GW HR right about now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Nomar's rejuvination can probably be largely attributed to playing first base. I'm not too certain he'd be injury-free were he playing short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 What is a concern, is what they'll do with Nomar when Izturis comes back. I would hope Grady Little has enough common sense to not move Nomar to a position where he'll be at a high risk of injury (i.e. any position other than first base). Izturis could see some time at 3B, or Furcal to 3B and Izzy to SS, or one at second, the other at SS, and Kent at 3B. Or he'll get traded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taguchi is on the same level as a team with Neifi Perez, John Mabry, Glendon Rusch, and Tony Womack...

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 We remember Baylor, but it's also been pointed out how several of the former Cubs managers won more games in a season than Baker ever has with the team and yet, they've all been fired eventually. It annoys us that Baker seems to be untouchable, regardless of how the team plays. That said, Neifi's batting second today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
