Just signing on for the evening
But, it is very nice to see Sori hit doubles off the wall to start the game. Seems to set a nice tone at least.
Earlier we discussed beanball:
This is fun to watch!

I stand by my postition: Cubs owe Renteria.
That was a long time ago, in another country
And besides, the wench is dead.

Owing Renteria
Absolutely unnecessary to go after him now.

Absolutely not.
This is the first chance they’ve had since.

Just send the Giants home with two losses
Revenge enough right there.

Of course they won’t.

Damn straight!
But Howry isn’t worth booing. he’s just a middlin relief pitcher.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
I hate to pile on
but has anyone looked at Dunn’s, Ibanez’ or Abreau’s numbers compared to Milton’s so far?c Hopefully he heats up eventually
Nope, they don't play for the Cubs

he's bound to.
if he hits below .200 for the year, I’ll walk to Chicago (*barring a season-ending injury in which he’s hitting under .200 at the time)
I love to play baseball. I'm a baseball player. I've always been a baseball player. I'm still a baseball player. That's who I am. - Ryne Sandberg
I was just thinking about MB
I would like to see some numbers on how he starts out the season normally.
April is one of his better months
he usually starts off strong and tails off at the end

Zach Greinke just struck out Dye with a sick-ass slider to end the 8th.

It was a more difficult play now that I think about it. I just like complaining out his arm i guess

But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

looks like he had quite a few steps to slow down
but they showed it in slow motion… in any event he hit it hard… Hope he’s ok

At least his arms are moving
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
That play looked just painful
Went stumbling face first full speed into the wall.
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living."
Just saw the replay
He stumbled head 1st into the wall.

I sure sound like an ass now. That’s terrible

This is what happens when you let a pitcher give max effort on non-pitching plays.
He should never have pulled a stunt like that. He got signed to pitch, not crash into walls!

Just have to hope that someone sat him down
and let him know that a lead off bunt single is not near as important as his being there to start games.
