QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) We can't continue to take 2 strike pitches from Maddux. He'll get the benefit of the doubt from the umps 9 out of 10 times. I am surprised he didn't get those 2-1 and 2-2 pitches. Rowand ends up striking out. :headshake

Another fine i would be giving. Iguchi k's looking.

Contreras almost hits ramirez now. What a joke. Ramirez pops it up, one out.

This f***er is acting stupid. He walks burnitz, first and second no outs.

Oh no. The moose is back.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) Got a bad feeling that H'worth's catch swung the momentum back to the Cubs. That ball only needed another foot on it and it would have been out of his reach. I thought he was gonna miss it anyway, he looked out of place .

QUOTE(wsox08 @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) lets get a double to bring in aj A double is definitely not a sure thing when pierz is running. A little come back to maddux inning over. 4-2 cubs.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Pablo going yard? There would have to be a hole in the fence for it to roll through. Has he even hit the ball to the warning track... on a roll?

Pablo k's looking. If i was a manager i would fine you each time you struck out looking.

If pablo goes yard maddux should just retire now.

Crede got robbed of a homer man stays on first.

Dye homers 4-2 cubs.

Carl homers 4-1 cubs.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) isn't AJ calling the game? Contreras doesn't always listen. He wouldn't listen at all when we traded for him last year. This year is seems like they got into his head to only use the splitter as an out pitch. But the last 3-4 starts he has been overusing it and it has not had the same bite on it.

Sorry jim i walked away for a few minutes. Two straight forkballs when they have patterson 0-2? Nice diving play by iguchi to stop the run from scoring. Two outs with perez up man on third.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) I think that the Cavs are f***ed in the long term. They play in the wrong division. You have two perennial championship threats in Detroit and Indiana, a team on the rise in Chicago, and a futures team in Milwaukee. I can't see the Cavs making any progress...they are missing so many pieces and Ilgauskas can't possibly last much longer. I know jack s*** about Sarunas Jasikevicius...what position does he play? Think a point guard version of peja. He is considered to be one fo the top five point guards currently playing in the world. He only wants a 3/10 million dollar contract which for a player of his caliber is pretty cheap. That is less than 70% of the league probally. He is considered to be a steve nash clone when it comes to running an offense. Last year in athens lithuania won verse the usa with Jasikevicius and his 28 points and 10 points in 3 possesions in last minutes. He made 21-32 threes last year in the national cup. You might recall he went to maryland in the mid 90's and went undrafted. For a long time he was buried on the bench. He became the player he is today right around the 2000 olympics and last years showing in the olympics raised his stock so much that he is one of the most highly sought after free agents. The main teams after him are portland (why?), boston, cavs, and houston.

Lead-off double for podsednik.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) Anyone else think that Neifi didn't pull the bat back on his fake bunt attempt when he got hit? Doesn't matter though, Contreras s*** the bed in a big game. Is it because this game is against the cubs it is a big game? Or is it A big game just because it is a game period? I am sick of people classifying every single game against the cubs as a big game. Every game is a big game to me outside of twins games. Then those games are huge.

Grand slam for ramirez 4-0.

Lee hits a shallow fly ball to rowand that he almost lost in the sun. Pierz lets a ball go through his legs, second and third one out, 2-0 count. Contreras walks burnitz, bases loaded for ramirez.

Contreras fellows that up by hitting perez, two on for lee no outs.

Patterson with a lead-off bunt hit to start the game.

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) Tell LeBron if he wants Eddy, he can come to Chicago. He won't be coming here but i doubt he stays with the cavs unless they get things turned around a hurry. Sure it's his home town and all but winning and championships> being at home on a s***ty team. What they do this year will end oup telling their future for years to come. I know they are looking at sarunas jasikevicius, he would be huge for them.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 04:37 AM) Tell that to Mariners' fans. They call him "Donna" Reed cuz he has no power whatsoever. You need power to be lead-off or two hole hitter? He will develope 10-12 home run power which will be fine for a player with defense as good as his and a player who will get on base at a high rate. We have to remember his numbers are not to bad considering he just turned 24 and in the mariners starting center fielder. I think from here on out his numbers will only improve.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 25, 2005 -> 03:01 AM) That's the one game that could challenge today's performance, however, even though he did get 10 Ks that game, and he was very dominant throughout other than 1 pitch to Brad Hawpe, I think the Flubs have a better offense than the Rockies, and Freddy just completely shut them down, allowing only 3 hits, one of which was a homer, in 7 dominant innings. That's why I think today's game was his best start. Rockies offense at home> cubs overall offense. You really cannot go wrong with eaither but i know which i would choose.
