Jeez Jermaine, that 3-1 pitch was the best pitch to hit you'll get all series.

Jermaine swinging at the 3-2 slider like I told him not to!! He's pathetic on 3-2, it seems.

Fully agreed. Huff is brutal.

I don't see why they couldn't get Robin Ventura for the broadcast. He's actually really good, and he lives in the area.

This team... so frustrating. Ugh. We really don't deserve to win after blowing a 6-0 lead, but come on.. Let's get a run!

Why did the Cubs get rid of this guy again?

 

I'm pretty sure the two guys they received for him aren't even in the Cubs organization anymore. Nice move, Hendry.

We've wasted a lot of good hitter's counts today.

So what do we do with Alexei? It's clear he's not the SS we thought. Move him to 2B and put Beckham back at SS? What do we do with Getz then in this case? Ugh.

Lots of Walker love in the booth tonight. BTW, I note Huff & Hawk sat next to each other. Why do Stone & Hawk sit at opposite ends of the desk?

I think you have to play out the year like this. Make the change in spring, try to find a 3b, and try to get Getz as many AB's as you can.

It's a different setup in every park. They can afford to give each other space at the Cell cause it's a bit booth. The one at Oakland is smaller I gues.

The booth at the Cell has more room in it then the road booths.

Let's win it here, no 14 inning heartbreakers tonight please.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Definitely don't want to make such a change right now. I want this to happen next spring too.

Good job by Thornton... Be nice to get him a win here.

Did he just miss that one too, Huff?

Alright, so I have to ask . . . is Paulie having another one good half, one bad half season?

I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong.

WTF Paulie?

I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong.

Nope, got him in a deal for Richie Robnett and another minor leaguer.

Alright, so I have to ask . . . is Paulie having another one good half, one bad half season?

 

He looks very weak at the plate, and just isn't making himself a tough out. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather have Kotsay batting against RHP than Konerko

Nope, got him in a deal for Richie Robnett and another minor leaguer.

 

Another bad deal for the cubs.

I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong.

 

Nope, Wuertz got moved during the offseason.

I thought Oakland got Wuertz in the Harden deal, but I could be wrong.

 

I don't think so.

 

I thought they got Eric Patterson, Sean Gallagher, and some other guy.

 

Could have been Wuertz, but I'm not sure.

Carlos is looking bad again.

On another thought, is it too early for Orton to lose the starting job in Denver? Simms looks like Elway compared to Orton.
