But the experts on ESPN said that Contreras was due to lose many games and that Jenks does not know how to close out important games that are high pressure situations. Should I be concerned?

LOL, Kevin Millar is having issues.

BA just missed one.

BA making solid contact on everything. Good to see.

yeah, its so strange, his average is still so low but i really dont think that anyone on this board has lost confidence in him. he will be a fine everyday major leaguer.

Jimmy, hit a homer for my birthday. Please?

 

Darn.

Jimmy does not like people from Iowa.

He still has an at-bat or two coming. And happy birthday.

Why is Contreras still pitching? It's the 7th inning, he's got a 12-run lead, and he's thrown over 90 pitches.

 

Give the staff some rest when possible because this team's season doesn't end in September.

Mack does the splits.

It should be Cliff Politte time, baby.

Det/Oak catching up to us and we started an hour earlier.

Awesome JC.

Is Cliff bound and gagged somewhere? Neal doesn't need to pitch here.

Jose up to 100.

 

 

Welp, he won't make 100. Good solid effort. You could see he was done on that wild pitch to Millar, that one almost went in the Orioles dugout.

LOL. Mack needs some practice at 3rd.

I kinda want to see much less of Mack at 3B.

 

Great outing, Count.

I hope we never have to see him again and he's being replaced as we speak.

LOL...Neal lets one LOOSE

Rick Ankiel Cotts

Wondering if the Cardinals would not do that Haren/Calero for Mulder deal if they had a 2nd chance.

Neal follows one that hits the backstop on the fly with a backwards K. Attaboy.

Close the book on JC, 6 2/3, 0 er's. Beautiful.

 

I'm seeing a Jermaine Dye homer this inning.

Today would be a good game for Politte to have his last chance to stick....give him an inning and if he's shellacked here, its time to thank him for a great 2005 and refill his roster spot with Montero, Tracey, or someone else who at least has a chance to help this team.

That Hawk, as I've said before, he may be a senile old coot, but he's OUR senile old coot.

If you don't love the Hawk, you must be a Cubs fan
