Is the shift even necessary considering Dunn is gonna strikeout?

 

 

No, it isn't. Is batting him behind Konerko necessary?

AJ with a s***ty roller to short, nice barehand pick up, slow AJ is out despite hustling.

Inning over. Bad bad inning.

they are showcasing pierre's wide variety of skills. next up, the weak grounder to the pitcher

 

Showcasing Pierre to whom? Unemployment? the only organization foolish enough to sign him is the one he's playing for

No.

He's a ninth place hitter if I ever saw one.

 

What inning do the Cubs start to show some life? Five? Six? Seven? Never?

Little pop to Omar. He had to hustle to get it. One out.

Two outs until officiality (completely made that word up).

okay, so according to weather.com, my ol' Will County is getting hit pretty good.

Dunn is overthinking everything right now. He looks lost at the plate.

 

he can't find the plate since he stands 15 feet away from it

 

Pena solo homer, 2-1.

Stranding those runners, as usual, starting to look ominous.

Two outs. Nobody on in the fifth; sox up, 2-1

2-1 Sox, HR Carlos Pena.

Line out to center.

Let it rain (only if it wipes out the game). Mark will be done if there's a rain delay and it's too early for our s***ty middle relief to take over.

Pena is doing basically what I had hoped Dunn would do - fight off pitches until the pitcher made a good pitch and struck him out, walk, or hit a rope somewhere when he finally got a mistake.

Raining kinda hard and picking up wind in south part of the city

CALL THE GAME. NOW. THERE WAS A BOLT OF LIGHTNING.

Well there goes the signal for me.

Raining in beverly

 

Are those beautiful mansions in jeopardy?

My aunt lived on Longwood Drive; beautiful house. Big backyard.

I think Dunn is completely mindf***ed. Completely. He might just need a psychiatrist.

Leadoff walk by Rios.

Nice.

1/2 of my local utility's 200k customers are without power.

Anybody want a hit and run over the bunt?

No. He just needs to see the ball, hit it.

And square his hips.

And remember to...ah screw it.

T-storm warning for Chicago just issued.

Rios looks like he's seeing the ball well. It'd be nice if he could start hitting consistently.
