Battle of the Redeemed: Cubs-Mets IGT 4/21/10

[Gwreck]

Rod Barajas, tied for team lead in homers.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Big Rod handles his stick and thrusts one into the second deck.

[nymr83]

Marlon Byrd is getting a workout in centerfield

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Even excepting the Rodsmack, Silva's leaving a bunch of breaking crap floating over the plate. The meedle of the order should be punishing him like a sadistic assistant principal.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's turn 3 here.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Dabidrye may be terrible at the plate and with the leather at the moment, but he's running like White Rickey.

Presented this appetizing RBI opportunity, though, Bay merely passes gas.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The drizzle must have lowered Pagan's immune resistance, because he seems to have caught a case of the Sorianos-- fielding the sac fly in a weirdly breezy way, then turning Soriano's gapper into a triple-- in the field.

Bay to me looks like he's missing pitches by a couple inches and/or a couple of seconds: I know these guys can probably fix themselves in a jiffy but gotdam, he's gotta start driving in some f'in runs.

I want to see some scoring right NOW

[metirish]

Why is Al Jackson not in the Mets HOF?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Virtually every Cubbie is working the count, fouling off balls endlessly, and basically putting work on Ollie.

The Mets lineup is doing the exact opposite in approaching Silva.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Guys we need some O here. Somebody do something motivational.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gary Matthews is inspriation incarnate.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

On the plus side, Acosta is bringing some Bootzilla-quality hard funk in his debut.

On the minus side... virtually everything offensive.

[nymr83]

Igarashi is out a month? fuck.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Gary Matthews is inspriation incarnate.[/quote:26j0d9kp]

More like inspiration incarcerated. With no chance for parole.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

"New" Frenchy has seen 7 total pitches in three at-bats against a notorious junkballer.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Game sucks. I told you no good could come from all those photos of goth dorks.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Has Soriano made an out this series yet?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Excuse me, Officer? I've been Acosted!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

No, you've been a-Goth-ted!

[Frayed Knot]

I'd like to thank Lou Piniella for removing Carlos Silva and turning this over the the horrid Cubbie pen for the final three innings.
Of course if we can't shut it down here it may not matter.

[metirish]

Silva must be hurt right?, no other reason to take him out...... unbelievable

[Guest Edgy DC]

Does anybody need a reason anymore?

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, that's some sack, let's crack this pen wide open.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ike ope's the seventh with a tingle.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm all alone.

[Gwreck]

Reyes begins the rally with a bloop single.

[Gwreck]

Luis RBI triple, David RBI single and we're right back in the game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two runs in after a Tripillo and a Wright single. Tying on deck. No outs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Get with the program, Bay.
