- First Lets Start with Freddy who had probably the best game out of a pirate that I had ever seen. 6-6- 3 R.B.I.'s- 4 Runs and played really spectacular defense. The catch and throw to start the throw to Jack on the double play to bail Meek out was incredible.
- The weirdness of the game started early in the bottom of the 1st when Theriot makes a terrible sequence of base running errors, which resulted in Neverett and Bob Walk openly ripping him apart.-- Which then lead to a 5 inning discussion on how bad Bob Walk's tie was tonight. I personally didn't think it was as awful as he made it seem
- Mr T. was in attendence behind home plate in a customized 'Mr. T.' jersey.. and wait for it, an American Flag Bandana and American Flag pants. What a Patriot.
Top 10 picture of all time.. omg
- Maholm and Dempster.. 2 Solidifided aces both got rocked.
- Sweet Lou Pinch hit Zambrano.. Which Lead to the Pirates changing pitchers to counter this move.-- The pitch Chavoo struck out Zambrano with might have been the best pitch of the year. an 89 mph slider that broke about a foot and a half and ended at his shoelaces.
- Gorzelanny has pitched in 4 games this year.. and got a decision in 3
- Andy Laroche is hitting .298-- this includes the double play he grounded into with the bases loaded with a pitch in the dirt when Dempster walked 3 stra-- its just going to get me angry.
- Freddy Sanchez rose his Batting Average 24 points.. He is 4th in the league in At Bats
- The Cubs scored 5 Runs in their 6 previous games.. They tallied 7 through the 1st 4 innings
- The Pirates had 2 runs in the 27 innings prior to Jack Wilsons 9th inning game tying home run on the North Side yesterday.. They have responded with 12 in the past 9 innings.
- Jaramillo had 3 more hits and has reached base safely the past 10 games-- Diaz and Jaramillo-- what pickups
- Delwyn Young= a trade Dave Littlefield would have never done or had a clue who he even was. What a tool.
- Sean Burnett recorded his 1st save
- Nyjer Morgan almost homered.
- Looking at Lou Piniella is just humorous
Rabble Rabble Rabble.. Freddy was out though
- Matt Capps almost got his arm severed by the line drive that took him out of the game. The only real somber point of this game, because Capps looked in prime form. His 2 previous pitches were 95 and on the paint.
- The Cubs had approximately 100 players taken out of the lineup less than an hour before the game
- Nyjer Morgan looked like he got shot when he fouled a ball off his foot in the 8th inning. Nate has fouled a ball off the same spot on his foot the past 2 games.
- Season high 18 hits.
- The bullpen worked 5 innings only allowing 1 run, with the use of 7 different pitchers. Yates being out= glorious
- Anyone else cry when they saw the, "John Grabow warming up in the bullpen" graphic.--Soriano almost took him deep on the 1st pitch.
- 3 Hours and 36 minutes to complete this one.. longest of the year
- Craig Monroe is 0-13 pinch hitting this year-- he is hitting .333 (15-45) when starting.
- 371 pitches to complete this game.. 203 by the Cubs
- A-Rod went 5-5. The Devil Rays were up 10-2 in the 9th.... and Lost. David Price started, and threw 100 pitches into the 4th inning before getting pulled. wow
- Red Hats looked really terrible on the Royals-- Carpenter is back= Cardinals win the World Series. Said that before the season started.
- Neverett and Bob Walk are truly a treat to listen too. Neverett just makes Greg Brown look that much worse. Honestly, this game was made that much more exciting because of their ability to say anything, and not hold anything back about either side. They have meshed great so far this year.
