White men can't jump, so Anderson wouldn't have caught that.

Nice catch by Wise. It wasn't as close as he made it look, but he almost dragged it over.

How is Jorge Julio still in the majors. He just had a meltdown that likely caused the Brewers the game tonight. Not only that, but Volquez got hurt again. The Cubs will likely face Owings, Bailey, and Arroyo this weekend...ugh

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:27 AM) How does a 91 MPH fastball get by Fields when he has 2 strikes? Shouldn't he be short and protecting? HE CAN'T HIT A MEDIOCRE FASTBALL!

So yeah...what in the hell was KC thinking throwing Fields so many offspeed pitches? Also, Wise is giving us terrible at bats.

Nice call fathom

AJP or Wise is going to tie this game.

PK desperately needs a day off. Some pretty feeble swings tonight. Cahill's looking like Joe Mays or Chad Gaudin from 5 years ago.

And hear comes Hawk saying how much we struggle against a pitcher we've never seen before.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:07 AM) Can we call up Beckham for 1 game? I really hope we don't have to hear everyone complain this series about "we can't hit pitchers the first time we see them".

Good pitching by Gavin to keep him at 2nd. Get it going offense!

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:59 AM) this team is baffling sometimes, that's 9 in a row retired by Cyhill... er Cahill He's good, and has a chance to be great. Closest thing that can be compared to Brandon Webb to come into the league in a while.

Yeah, let's throw him a 3-2 get me over fastball. He's just going to go nuts this series, as he's on fire.

That 3-0 Dye low strike really changed the momentum of this game. Keep us close Gavin.

Out of curiosity, have we seen any of the pitchers before that we're going to face this series?

Nix sure does strike out looking a lot.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) Is that from a source or you just think so? Think so

Hopefully we get the good Jayson Nix tonight. Can't let Cahill get into a groove.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:50 AM) Presumably by "Wise is going to be DFA'd in 10 days" you mean "Anderson is going to AAA in 10 days". No way

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 12:48 AM) I have nothing against Dweezy. But Ozzie has made him everybody's enemy because he sits BA whenever he can. Looking at Cahill's splits, I don't blame Ozzie for playing the lefty instead of Anderson. The problem is that the lefty had very limited rehab, and it's not like he was a star to begin with.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 01:41 AM) Yeah Ozzie, we might be in trouble, or he might be a young catalyst that helps the team a lot in the second half... You'll be happy to know that KW doesn't feel the same way as Ozzie does about Beckham.

BTW, Wise is going to be DFA'd in 10 days. He'll get the majority of the playing time this home stand, and then when CQ returns, he gone.

Cahill getting locked in. No problem with our 6/7/8.

Get us started AJP. I don't think Fields is a good match-up though, as this guy only throws fastballs.

Still looking like rain at 9:15?
