Gwynn

grounds to Lee, backhanded play, takes himself, top of the inning over. Cubs lead 3-2, 1 hit, no runs. To the bottom, Lee Ramirez Fukudome.

Dempster

5 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO

Serviceable? no

hes pitching well.

Well, the BB-SO ratio can spell trouble ahead, but I agree. In this game, he's pitching well.

I used to work for the Triple-A...

Syracuse SkyChiefs. So I have some triple-A connections in the International League. Thought just crossed my mind.

2nd career HR off Bush.
1st hit of the season.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

by northsider on Apr 3, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No doubt about it. Ramirez tossed his bat after he hit it.

Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager

by northsider on Apr 3, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

nope. not good enough

It was just a solo bomb. We're relying on that too much.

by bap on Apr 3, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Those solo homers, they're rally killers.

They don't clog the bases very much tho

by jasoniniowa on Apr 3, 2008 2:52 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm sure...

...he was actually trying for the 3-run homer, with no one on base.

He should have gone for the bonus by hitting it into the clown's mouth.

by neverAcquiesce on Apr 3, 2008 3:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yup, that's him. Had to look up his picture on the 'Net.

I recall one episode of The Sopranos in which Vito invited Meadow's boyfriend to a Yankees game. The boyfriend was a Padres fan and Vito said something like, "The Cubbies really gave your boys a shellacin' last night..." I always loved that.
