Tom Gorzelanny vs. Sean Gallagher at Wrigley. Sorry for the late game thread -- the Friday afternoon game took me by surprise. This one starts now, at 2:20. Here's the box.

These may be the best seats I've had to a game ever.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
Yeah, rough start for your guys.

Nahhh
Gorzo’s not hurt…he’s just getting lit up like a Christmas tree.
They’re under our skin somehow… we’re scared of them, and Gorzo is also hurt and throwing like a little leaguer.
I looked forward to this game all day, and now I don’t even want to watch the rest.
.500 or bust...
So, wait, is Gorzellany really hurt?
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
Ah, OK. I've noticed he's been struggling so far this year.

There's also speculation
Jim Tracy wrecked Gorzo’s arm by leaving him out for 100+ pitches for a bunch of starts in a row late last year.
Wow, how very Dusty Baker of him.
That’s sad to hear. You guys probably know this, but Gorzellany is a Chicago guy, so I’ve always kinda rooted for him (even though he was apparently a Sox fan).
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
good Lord.
I think it’s time to not only pull him from the game, but shut down Gorzo for a few starts. he’s throwing batting practice put there.
I was willing
to write the first homer off as Soriano being searing hot right now, but 3 in two innings? That’s Brett Myers territory :D
.500 or bust...
I'm watching this game
and I can’t see what sign Paulino is flashing when he calls for the gopher ball. I’ve seen Gorzo throw 3 and a couple that were fairly close.
how does Gorzo look?
for those who are ‘stuck’ at work, can you comment on the speed and/or movement, or lack thereof, of his pitches?
He's not
fooling anyone. There’s been a bunch of good cuts…so movement must be minimal in the batter’s eyes. Speed’s nothing real special, but not super bad either.
Well
He’s not exceptionally wild… the balls just don’t appear to have any zip. After the first pitch homer, he threw 4 straight balls. I think he’s psyched out along with being lame.
.500 or bust...
thanks, phillybucco and Thunder
it’s too bad the Pirates can’t also bat against Gorzelanny for this game… we’re thru 4 innings, and only Bixler has a hit?
Gorzelanny vs the Cubs:
Start 1: 2.1 IP 6H 7R 7ER
Start 2: 2.2 IP 6H 7R 7ER
Start 3(so far): 2 IP 5H 6R 6ER
.500 or bust...
So who hits
the HR this inning before Gorzo reaches his limit.
Just got here.........
a few thoughts:
1. I hate the Cubs
2. I’m glad I can see this game on WGN
3. Gorzo, please get somebody out!
4. I hate the Cubs

the Soriano homer (part 2) was garbage. Routine pop up…that basket thing is a joke

I'm listening to the game via the Internet...
...but I heard the home run landed in the first row and bounced back into the basket.

he crushed the ball

a shutout inning from Gorzo... go figure.
let’s see if the Pirates’ offense gets shut out again this inning….
again!

2 shutout innings... so does JR let Gorzo bat this inning, or pinch hit for him?
I would have pulled him in the 2nd inning, but that’s why I’m not a manager….
not only does he stay...but bunts
what, exactly, is the point of bunting down 6-0?

but
it’s not even like we’re even close to THIS bad. The Cubs are good but not like the second coming or anything. I don’t get it.

On the board
I felt guilty going golfing today during the game, but I got back in time to see the first pirates run :)
is it possible that the Cubs could trade for Jason Isringhausen ...
... in time for him to pitch the 8th inning today?
Freddy
had quite the battle at that last at-bat, but of course, it ended pathetically.
.500 or bust...
BTW
That 2nd Soriano HR was directly in the basket, not in the seats, so yeah, it was BS.
.500 or bust...
OK, yeah, it was. I just watched in on Gameday.
Still, a bit of a stretch for Mr. Jolly Roger to call it a “routine pop up”, don’tcha think?
Nanika Ga Okoru!
Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
If I may say so...
I absolutely hate early games.
Especially one’s that start at 12 PM.
I was looking forward to Pirates game for this evening… instead, I’ll have to waste time doing absolutely nothing.

Ronny!!!
You suck.
Go away.
Where’s Doumit???
I miss him. :’(

Ugh...
well, at least the crap part of the order is up so we can get this over with fast…
.500 or bust...
Good job.
Rivas & Michaels both fly out.
That’s what pinch-hitters are for, right?
The Utah Jazz
A disillusioned Pirates fan in Utah...
Game.
Yet again, the team gets within 1 game of .500 and then fails to win.
