i think the marlins current stadium
is one instance where a bigger park is detriment, they could really use a fan-freindly stadium that provides a great baseball experience, no matter the capacity
Get a pitch in an area, and it's a ball.
And then right in the same area a second time, it’s a strike?!?

I attended a Cubs-Dodgers game at Wrigley in 2001
where the Cubs put up back-to-back 8-run innings and won 20-1. That stands as the biggest offensive explosion I’ve ever seen by any Cubs team.

At the time, I thought Julio Zuleta was something special. The passing of time has helped me put this in perspective, but that game was just incredible. My sides almost hurt from laughing—the offense was just ridiculous.

so that we can then ride that beating through a sweep. (A girl can dream, right?)

Mistake from earlier.
If anyone noticed that I said the last time the Cubs batted around was home last year against the White Sox, well, I was wrong.
It happened again in this game later on in the year.

Didn't we also bat around in the 8th inning of the first Kerry Wood Blown Save.
It was the game Cliff lee started. and we were down 7-1 or 7-2 starting the 8th. cliff lee started the eighth. We got him out earlier. Than Eric Wedge used every reliever in his bullpen over a stretch of errors bad defense and clutch two out hits by cubs. we scored 4 or 5 times to get the game to a 7-6 tally. and in the 9th d lee went deep off wood and we won in 10 on theriot’s lucky bad bounce hit. Will someone look up that 8th inning and see if we batted around.

Hart's only thrown 65 pitches.
Im not sure how that is possible with all the walks and hits. He could go 6-7 innings.

That pitch was sure no higher than the one Fonzie had...
I think this umpire is trying to make the game more interesting for the fans.

Just poured myself a English microbrew...
“Granny Wouldn’t Like It!”
She might not – You will!
A favourite since it was introduced in cask form, this award-winning ale offersa swirling mix of flavours and a complex, deeply satisfying taste experience.
Dark red, rich – and very fruity!

83 pitches.
Do you let Hart go one more inning?

yes.
in fact, I might let him go two, especially if he could actually get the 1-2-3.

why not pick off the walkee?
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Sounds tricky.
Maybe a CS?

+1
he has a 6 run cushion, let him go and rest the pen as much as possible

you let him go as far as he can go with a 6 run lead and a lot of bullpen guys getting day off.
You let him goes till he runs out of gas especially just going through heart of order. I saw at LEAST 2 more. You let him go 110 pitches. especially with an extra off day built in before his next start with Thursday being an off day. his earliest next start will be saturday. and it is quite possible it will be later than that.

Scoreboard check. Reds and Brewers tied at 3 in top of 7th.
Cards up 2-0 over D-backs in top of fifth. Houston on the west coast playing LA and have not started yet.
You have to...
I think he’s in there as long as his pitch count will allow and they aren’t scoring a lot of runs

RBI Machine?
Haha, so I just noticed that Jake Fox now has 2 less RBI than Milton Bradley, in 1/3rd as many plate appearances. Can’t we possibly talk Cashman into taking Bradley in the offseason when they let Matsui go?! heh
