Hell of an effort Peavy! Just make sure not to pitch Linebrink in the 8th.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 09:49 PM) Thornton is up. That's silly, as it's not like he's going to face hitters 2-5 for them. If he's going to warm up, bring him in to face Fukudome.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) Colvin makes Stoney look smart. Colvin hits the ball so hard every time I watch him. I'd like to see Thornton face Fukudome.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) It's not only good pitches with ripples that trouble Beckham (as they do most mlb players), he's even missing hangers. What's terrible is, it's not as if we could have known that from college because, how many good pitchers with decent curveballs/sliders did he face? He would kill most hangers last year...remember his bomb against Lackey? I've noticed though that both Beckham and Quentin really struggle with high curve, no matter how bad the pitch is.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Beckham looks like absolute s***. That's cause he is this season, no other way to describe it. I didn't know his error total is all the way up to 7 as well.

How long do you keep Peavy in? I'd go with Thornton to start the 7th to be honest.

Ok Jake, got to keep it in the park this inning!

Hit it high and let it fly PK!

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Hopefully like fathom said, we can get to the bad part of the Cubs bullpen. According to CBS Stevens is warming up. Hopefully we can put the 1st dent into his ERA...9 IP no runs. Throwing the invisible baseball so far this year. Let's get some guys on for Rios.

Huge inning here for Peavy. It's so important to get to the non Marshall/Marmol part of the Cubs bullpen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Correct call letting Peavy hit here. No f***ing way you pinch hit. Let him strike out if he must but it's too early to pull him. Thanks Captain Obvious

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) The immortal Lou Piniella pitches to AJ and he whacks it off the wall. Oz would have been crucified for the same decision. Beautiful hit AJ. Way to make 'em pay. You're right, putting more runners on with the wind blowing out is a great idea.

Hit a rocket Peavy!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) We need to trade him to Cincy or St Louis so he can play the Cubs all of the time. Hey, it worked with Carlos Lee!

Let's do some more damage before Peavy bats, as they'll walk Nix if Beckham makes an out.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) A.J. is having a huge day. Wrigley sets up well for him to hit at.

Jeez, that was bad by Jones.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) Fixed. It's the same cliche!!

Way to go PK! And BTW, bunting with Konerko would be playing not to lose!

Don't you dare hit it on the ground Paulie!

Let's get some guys on for Rios!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) No pitch recogntion at all by Peavy. Now it is up to Juan. But Jake, I thought you didn't want to leave the NL so you can hit!!

Well, that's a bad AB by Nix.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) Nix bunting? He shouldn't be...that would be an all-time stupid move.

Think James Shields!
