2006 Game Reviews and Score Recaps.

well, ramirez has had his second homer in as many days. and this inning is the first in 80 innings that there have been more than 1 run scored. yikes.

still, guzman needs to have more command of the zone. he threw something like 35 pitches in the first inning.

[RBi]

For those who want to know what that looked like:

0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0

Wow. We actually score more than 1 run, but we give up 6. Excellent.

you know, the worst part of saturday were the cameras focussing on michael barrett after he hit a triple and his cup came out of his strap. brings a whole new meaning to wardrobe malfunction. i really didnt need to be seeing that.

I just thought he was taunting the pitcher...

getting old

okay, this is really getting old. they need to stop hitting into so many double plays. That is why they can't score. I heard that out of the last 45 baserunners 42 have been stranded. That is absolutely pathetic.

already down 2-0. and pierre already made one throwing mistake by airmailing the cutoff man.

at least aramis seems to be picking it up. he hit a double. and then promptly stranded.

well sorry to say-but this game maddux has looked awful, leaving pitches everywhere up in the zone

He's allowed a bad start, isn't he? I know this makes 2 in a row, but Maddux has never pitched well in Arizona. That was to be expected. Let's wait and see how he does in his next start.

there were also a number of broken bat and bloop hits in the first 3 innings.

i can remember 2...3 maybe max...a lot were hit well

and at least one of them drove in runs. I'm not painting a rosy picture here. maddux gave up 7 runs. it is what it is. And I'm sure he'll be the first to tell you that he needs to be better.

but its on to a new series and hopefully the cubs can get off the schneid. Of course, that all presupposes that rich hill stops with the batting practice fastballs.

1-1 after one inning. bonds walked.

barrett just crushed a homer. cubs hitters only saw 6 pitches in the first inning.

[Spieluhr]

Juan Pierre robbed Bonds' 714th? I didn't catch the TV but heard it on the radio.
