Liz for more than 5 innings is gonna be tight. He's at 88 (53/35) pitches after the Theriot hit. He's gonna need to be below 95 to stay in and, even at 95, I don't know if I'd keep him in.

Aww, Brian could have gotten his average over .300 with another hit (I think, LOL). Maybe he'll do it in his next at bat.

Go Liz on hitting the ball! Who had Liz in the poll on the main board?!

Just as long as he remembers that the chalk line of the opposite batter's box is part of the strike zone. :rolleyestf:

At least the umpire is screwing both sides though... I guess he just wants this game over with.

Now that was a pretty DP.

[brvn52]

Nice DP! Good play by BOTH Roberts and Cintron.

Liz only at 90 (55/35) through 5. He should start the 6th.

Edit: Unless he comes up to bat.

Re-Edit : Nevermind. If he comes up to bat we're gonna be up by at least 10. Keep him in!

nice DP...hopefully Liz can get 6 outta this start.

So now Piniella takes out his long reliever after just one inning? Curiouser and curiouser.

After the way the bullpen was overworked last night, I think Trembley will do everything possible to guide Liz through the 6th inning. Then we might see Fernando Cabrera.

Definitely agree. Liz is only at 90. He should at least start the 6th. Would love to see FCab in a game like this just to get his feet wet (we may not have any more for a while). Wouldn't mind seeing Bukvich for an inning later (even though he pitched 3 last night) if we're still up by a lot.

By the way Paul, do you know what's going on with Walker? I saw him in the dugout earlier? He he just unavailable for today?

Liz has his ERA below 5:wedge:

who got hurt?

Just realized that was a double switch with Ward coming in for Lee. If I didn't know any better, I'd think the Cubbies were giving up.

[brvn52]

who got hurt?

Eyre. He's staying in though.

Millar single. 1st and 2nd 1 out.

[RShack]

I just now read the whole game thread and got caught up.

The best part is how everybody started off whining about the lineup... and they scored 8 runs by the end of the 5th ;-)

[OsLuvrInKy]

C'mon Aubry.....

Another double right now would be sweet.

[Sideburns]

man, I wish I could watch this game

[brvn52]

Eyre's coming out now, though. Not sure if it's because of an injury or just he's being pulled yet, but you have to believe it's an injury.
