Damn it.
This is all Soriano’s fault.

Still not sure what Blanco was doing...
Why do I have this feeling that it will come back to haunt us?
by Tangled Up In Blue on Apr 17, 2008 2:53 PM CDT 0 recs
because we're cubs fans
we always have that feeling. i get that feeling sometimes even after a d. lee home run.

Same here.
I can’t think of one, even remotley logic reason why he would be bunting with the pitcher on deck…

That really puzzels me...
....regarding Blanco bunting with the pitcher coming up.
Lou looked a little pissed when he came back to the dugout, but I think it was because he took two strikes he could have bunted, instead of because Blanco missing a sign.

Griffey
single to SS, off Theriot. 2 out. Theriot ranging to his right, tried to backhand and went to his knees as the ball went past him.

Was not a very pretty play.
Looked like he was very surprised Griffey hit it to him.

Yeah, you're right, I wouldnt.
Despite the fact that he’s not hitting .250 since he’s been up here, or, you know, this line
Wait, I actually would have posted it, because Fontenot isn’t a starter, he’s a utility man.

More fun facts from Wikipedia:
Was the umpire head-butted by Carl Everett.
Called Justin Verlander’s no-hitter.

Also, I am impressed with the Red’s pitcher – very good stuff.

so either Volquez is wild
and has no control, or Fukudome’s patient approach is rubbing off on the rest of the Cubs lineup – 112 pitches through 5 innings! At least we’ll probably see the bullpen soon. Except that Dusty might leave him in.
