OC runs in quick sand....11 left on in 5 innings is inexcusable against this pathetic pitcher.

I hate the National League. Up to OC to avoid 11 left on in 5 innings.

Stay hot Toby!

Terrible at bat by Ramirez...I don't get why we're playing so passive. He had a 2-0, you knew he'd get a mediocre fastball down the plate.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 18, 2008 -> 03:28 AM) Dear God, get BA in CF tonight. Every play made has seemed like an adventure in the outfield, even for CQ.

I can't remember the last time I was so confident a White Sox player would reach base at the plate as I am with Quentin tonight.

Nice turn by Ramirez....I love having 2nd basemans who can throw hard on the double play.

Well, here goes the bad defensive effort behind Buehrle again. Should be a 5 run game or so...but Giants are right in this.

I don't get why we haven't tried more hit-and-runs or put runners in motion tonight. Especially with Ozuna at the plate and OC on base. Also, Dye's having just a terrible game. He's had quite a few opportunities to blow this game wide open.

BTW, give Quentin the 3-0 green light for the next 10 years.

OC's had a good game so far. Dye's looked brutal this series...he actually made Zito look good. I hate seeing all these runners left in scoring position so early.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ May 18, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) Zito looks pretty bad. His fastball is not fast. Hitters just have to stay back on his pitches. Ump has a small zone, which will hurt both starters.

Dunn's homer was so cheap

Run if you get on base...Zito is easy to steal again.

So far this year, us Cubs haters have to be thankful they didn't trade for Josh Hamilton or McLouth, two names they were connected to during the offseason.

I'm pretty sure McLouth has owned Marmol this season. I thought D. Lee's was gone, especially with his hop after he hit it.

Don't forget the "Rally Kiss"

WTF aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Bixler...the same dumbass who forgot to run home earlier this year on a bunt where the Pirates would have beat the Cubs. Jack Wilson will be back off the DL soon, but that doesn't really help us much.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 17, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) its unreal to me...why do people not throw him breaking balls and let him get himself out Because the National Legue loves to piss us off.

STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO SORIANO! The Cubs offense just keeps going and going.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 17, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) How does his pitch speed look? Last start he was hovering around 90, and had that moment where the trainer came out and looked at him 89-94...Pirates could have had a few more runs earlier in the game, but flew out to the fence.

Zambrano just completely blew up, starting after he broke his back over his knee after striking out. Here comes Wuertz...a reminder, don't swing if it gets to 3-2.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 17, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) Soriano is RIPPING the ball. He owns the Pirates, just like the Cubs.

Did Jason Bay drop a fly ball costing the Pirates a few runs? I missed the play.

I assume Toby will start, as AJP is awful in his career vs Zito.
