Would've been nice

if the Giants would’ve completed their comeback today.

Harden would have seen his bullpen blow a 7 run lead to lose the game. “Welcome to Cubs baseball.”

Did you see the finish of that game?

About three weirdnesses in the final inning—all in the Cubs’ favor, and not one an umpiring decision. Blame fate, not the umps.

Klosters still taste like formalehyde? Fun game so far and Welley’s elbow didn’t explode as feared.

The slider

Gotta be honest...

After that first inning, I didn’t think Welley would make it through six with a two-hitter. Well done, Colonel.

if you accept the idea of dunc in this lineup,

and i realize that is a big if for a lot of posters, why hit him in front of yadi, rather than in the 7 slot? it preserves the L-R-L-R pattern, and I’d rather see yadi hit ahead of dunc right now.

by tom s. on Jul 12, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Tony must want

Yadi’s speed in front of the pitcher. Don’t want to bunt into a DP.

If we hold on and win this game, how weird will TLR make the lineup for Sunday.

I’m guessing no Pujols or Ludwick for sure and probably no Molina (just to give stache a game and a 4 day break for Molina)

I hope they play Kennedy at first and bat him 3rd!!
