I loves me some BIG GAME DANKS!!!

Meh, i would have let him go a little further.

 

Anyways, helluva game today from Danks.

 

71 out of his 99 pitches went for strikes too!

That was a f***ing beautiful catch.

You're way, way too good of a baseball person to get caught up in just posting stuff about other people's posts. I also think you should see how the new rules on the site hold up, as things seem to be more relaxed in the game threads.

 

I'll believe it when I see it. The next time we have s***ty loss and there aren't 673 posts about how this entire team needs to be cut/traded/fired I'll believe.

 

I mock those posts because it ruins the site and drives people away.

 

 

On another note, hope to god this means Danks is back for good. Floyd seems to have found it, Count is solid, Burrly is burrly, and Richards is good enough. Our bullpen + that rotation is pretty scary considering Detroit is falling apart, Clevland sucks, and KC isn't as deep.

How close was that?

 

Wow Linebrink..

 

Hell of a catch by Brian.

Gotta love WGN.

has anyone read the Mark Gonzalez book? In the first chapter he refers to the "grand slam" hit by Tadahito Iguchi against David Wells in the 05 playoffs. How can they make that mistake?

 

 

No way! Really?

Soriano - big pile o' crap for the Cubs. Love it.

I don't know what the hell has happened to Linebrink, but he needs to find his stuff quick.

 

One pitch pitcher, and I believe the injury last year has prevented him from putting the ball just a little above the zone like he mastered last year.

Bacon, what I have to presume will be Thome or Nix, and Pods due up.

And you're not helping, either.

I'd love to see a matchup of Fields v. Marmol

Not a terrible inning by Line. Nice 3 run cushion for Jenks

 

Did exactly what he had to. And scouting report time...be prepared for Bradley trying to bunt leading off the 9th!!

Ha, reminds me of Mark Reynolds homering off of him in the 2007 NLDS.

Would love to see Beckham get his first multi-hit game here

I love the not needed slide/tumble/cartwheel.

Don't blink.

I hate to knit-pick, but is Beckham ever going to make a diving stop and cleanly throw someone out? His game today defensively left a lot to be desired.

Thome hit a bomb off of this guy the last time he faced him.

Squared it up a bit too well, but once again solid contact.

First year in pro ball.

As someone who went from SS to 3rd base in high school, that's one of the hardest parts of the transition. At SS, you get a lot more of a running start to the dive. At 3b, you end up overextending yourself a lot on the dive.

Oh, Big Jimmy was all over that.

Ha, reminds me of Mark Reynolds homering off of him in the 2007 NLDS.

Even funnier was Young's homer off Lilly. Could be the greatest reaction to a home run EVER.

First year in pro ball.

Well, first full year.
