I think DLee is having trouble seeing the ball right now
He just doesn’t look as comfortable as he usually does at the plate.

I'm glad DLee remembers how to ground to the SS
That is one hell of a useful skill.

Nice to have the Cubs broadcast
tonight on Extra Innings!! I had to mute the Brewers broadcast yesterday.
I don't get WGN on my cable system
I have to get the Extra Innings package to watch the Cubs. You get the opposing team announcers a lot.
That's a huge benefit of MLB.tv this year...

That would be one way to save his pitch count.

Here's what I still know about the Brewers
Corey Hart is coyote ugly.
Ryan Braun has googly eyes.
Jeffrey Hardy is a wienie.
Prince Fielder should consider himself the lumpiest man on the face of the earth.
Strikeout. Two outs.

out my window, i have a good view of the ledge
getting crowded
Why is it wrong for fans to be upset about a team being bad in the game?
Its not ledge jumping its called watching a baseball game.

Fatso really killed that one. Right down the middle.

I like how the announcers say that there is pressure on the hitters
cause CC is gone yet the cubs have made the Brewers pitchers look like aces the past two days.

To be fair...
…the Cubs have killed CC almost every time they’ve faced him, but seem to consistently have trouble with bottom-of-the-rotation guys.

Given last night's relief situation...
Will there be any pitchcers to bail out Zambrano when he maxes out his pitch count so early?
Its not like any of them actually pitched much
Did anybody even toss a full inning?

I about tossed my cookies in the 9th - does that count?

Despite Z's tough start
The SP this season has been more than fine. The offense on the other hand has had in my opinion one good performance and so far 3 1/3 clunker games. I still think it might be interesting at some point to experiment with Soto in the 3 hole and DLee way, way down in the order. The guy is just not a #3 anymore.
I'm taking the position
That we traded Z’s crappy opening day start to his second game this season. Which in the long run should be just fine.

ROBODOME!!!!!!!!!!
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
hey...
another solo HR from the Cubbies. That said, Fukudome is proving a lot of folks (including myself) wrong so far.
Ya think....
Lou ever thought about moving the Riot to 2 spot and everyone else down a slot? The Cubs have a hack batting before Dome
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
I am late to here
But been watching all the game. Kick ass Fukudome!!!!!!!!

Lee almost hits one out, but into the glove of Hart
At least he made good contact..

Good time for me
To show up. I was gonna mention Z’s absurdly high pitch count but forgetaboutit
by Sam Householder on Apr 11, 2009 7:04 PM CDT reply actions
Now watching him
Dome has a better approach to the plate. Instead of taking those first pitch fastballs like he was last season he is doing something with them. Now when the league adjusts by throwing first pitch breaking balls it will be up to Dome to adjust.

6-4-3 Lee...
Is one at bat from falling below .100
The best defense is a good offense.....Lou Pinella...still hasn't managed the Cubs to a post season win. D. Lee still doesn't have a post seasson RBI for Cubs...ditto for Soriano
MAKE HIM THROW SOME PITCHES

Yea...
They arre up there hacking…..no plate discipline…..solo homers and letting the opposing starter run at about a 103 pitch pace is NOT good hitting…..

this might get ugly
heilman is gonna have to go about 4 innings
Hey long time no see...
I was busy to watch other baseballs, but Dome looks like doing what he did with Dragons?
Hope this is not just spring annual event….
we've missed you a lot, Dragons! Hope we see much more of you in weeks to come.
Ryan. Theriot. Sucks.
Welcome back!
And I agree, hopefully he can keep this up through the whole year.
Before each game, please remember to feed the bats.
Woohoo!
In your face, Milwaukee!
Before each game, please remember to feed the bats.
