Is that really a Hatori Hansu bat?

fail

by LT on Sep 2, 2008 9:08 PM CDT up 0 recs

Len and Bob think there might be something wrong with Z

and that’s why he came out of the game.

oh jeez

this is disappointing.

Howry comes in and we are losing within two batters

I am really trying hard not to drop 100 F-bombs on Lou and Howry

Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 1-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. SEMO. We might drop 100 points on them.

the 29 other guys with "C" on their cap are less than excited too.

was just thinking about that

I hope they give him a hard time in the club house

by Emelie on Sep 2, 2008 9:06 PM CDT up 0 recs

its not like he's trying to suck

he’s just old and not very good anymore.

by sue369 on Sep 2, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up 0 recs

not sure why lou

keeps trotting howry out there…might as well give guzman a chance. He couldn’t do any worse

by bheidge on Sep 2, 2008 9:03 PM CDT 0 recs

Agreed.

by zevkalman on Sep 2, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up 0 recs

Just when you think Howry might be pitching a little better

he goes and does this. Crap. Now he’ll probably steal a win.

Did you forget that September is part of the season too? Did you remember that nobody is going to give you anything? Do you remember that you need to score to win? Do you remember that leaving runners on base is aa MORTAL SIN?

The best defense is a good offense

by kcjones on Sep 2, 2008 9:04 PM CDT 0 recs

I'm sure they are trying not to score

shocked he isnt here yet.

Because Lou screwed up

and he doesn’t want to hear it.

by sue369 on Sep 2, 2008 9:12 PM CDT up 0 recs

you know this is boring game...

…when Len won’t stop talking about the two balls in the ivy.

He just doesn't want to think about the crap pitcher on the mound

Another play tonight....

showing why the Cubs need a major league SS

The best defense is a good offense

by kcjones on Sep 2, 2008 9:06 PM CDT 0 recs

They already have two guys

who are better SSs than Riot. Not Jim Hendry’s fault that Lou chooses the worst of the three.

Does howry not have the scouting report on this guy!!!!

by TheTruth11 on Sep 2, 2008 9:06 PM CDT 0 recs

Go away Bob howry

Just go away. You had a nice run the past two seasons.

Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 1-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. SEMO. We might drop 100 points on them.

by nji232 on Sep 2, 2008 9:06 PM CDT 0 recs

Crowd is not happy with Howry. Neither is Bob.

“Not a good pitch for Bob Howry” says Bob.

by zevkalman on Sep 2, 2008 9:06 PM CDT 0 recs

Pitching change, please.....Lou!

How is Bob Howry still in the major leagues?

Lou Pinella is in love with him

One of his few flaws this season

second question: why in HELL are we still using him?

by Emelie on Sep 2, 2008 9:08 PM CDT up 0 recs

No kidding

As sad as it is, even guys like Wuertz and Guzman are far superior.

Listen to the crowd, they are sick and tired of this garbage.

He has some questionable photos of Lou in his possession?

Preferably not

in the 6th inning of a tie ballgame in a pennant race in September.

a triple play

I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!
