MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Os won 8-1. The probably wont win another game in the series though although itd be nice for them to go on a run to close out the first half. Are there any prelim numbers on how the final vote is going for the AS Game or is it a big secret? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Nice to see that pitchers still like to throw at hitters. Nomar gets hit in the elbow, on the helmet, and then gets thrown behind. Magical. Can't wait for the D-Backs to plummet down the standings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Only the Cubs could give up two runs on a wild pitch. Prior really labored in the sixth, as he has his last two starts, but he got out of the inning. He'll probably drop to 0-4, but if that might not be the case if the offense ever backed him up. Eight more runners stranded today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 I can accept the Cubs being bad, but why can't they be bad by letting the youngins play? Angel Guzman hasn't pitched in two weeks, despite looking real nice in that game he replaced Glendon Rusch in during the second inning. Meanwhile, Glendon gets into a game (and increases the deficit) his game back from the DL. Stuff like this makes me more saddened to see Scott Williamson back off his comments he made last week about Dusty Boys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2006 Good win for the 'Stros today, and it was Dollar Dog Day at MMP. I love Dollar Dog Day. If St. Louis keeps sucking and Atlanta cooperates, the Astros could conceivably be in first place going in to the All-Star Break. News from around the batting cages suggests that Roy Oswalt's gonna take someone's spot on the All-Star team, most likely Pedro, what with his hip and all.

A couple of pitches later...Hafner hits an absolute bomb to left center. 7-1 Indians That was pretty awesome stuff. How can the Yankees keep throwing Chacon and Wright out there twice every five days when they basically know they'll only get at best 10 or 11 of the 18 innings from their starters in those games?

Then we'll NEVER get rid of Clines/Rothschild/Sarge/Dusty. That's what a lot of fans are predicting.

Of all the replacement candidates mentioned, I'd like to see Jimy Williams managing the Cubs. That would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
