and it was a good walk. He tried to make Bradley chase, but Bradley’s got good plate discipline.
He’s the key to the 2009 Cubs. So says I.

He leaves with bases loaded….as JD said, his results will look either good or very bad, depending on what Sampson does here.

everytime he bats, I ask, why is he on this team?
I would have preferred Maysonet as a utility infielder. Truthfully, we probably would be better off with another pinch hitter like Gall, Abercrombie, or Saccomano.

Question
Should Ortiz have been pulled after giving up four in the first inning?
Or perhaps after putting one on base in the second after giving up four in the first inning?

Number of comments in a typical game thread
I’ve been around since the offseason after the World Series. This is just my perception of how things have gone since then:
~ 100 posts is a typical game thread
~ 150 when we draw folks over from BrewCrewBall or BleedCubbieBlue (collectively known as BCB)
~ 200 for really exciting parts of the season, like the last week and we have to win every game to possibly have a shot at the postseason.
I’ve seen probably less than a half dozen overflow threads.
I’ve never seen 200 posts in the overflow thread before, which is where it was at a moment ago when I looked.
clack, StrosBro, or rastronomicals can probably confirm, maybe even entropic soul
