It was too easy. I've watched that game more than any other in Cubs history.

[Clapp]

Great play by Aramis, just had no chance.

Yeah. Whenever I think of that game one of the first images that comes to my mind is Martinez behind the plate in his goofy crouch with his right leg straight out to the side.

Pudge ties Soto for the DP lead!

[Clapp]

Arroyo vs. the Brewers tonight: 1 IP, 7 H, 9 ER, 3 BB, 0 K

[Clapp]

Knew Hampton was getting a single there. Dammit.

[Butcher]

Cockhunter Pence.

[Clapp]

Stop trying to pull pitches 3 feet outside. Better yet, don't swing at them and take the walk.

He's fat.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
His main problem is pulling outside pitches, I don't think his weight is causing that. And he looks about the same to me.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
He looks at least 20 pounds heavier to me. Maybe more.

[Fella]

Seriously? I can't see any difference.

20 pounds? No way. And regardless, that has nothing to do with his struggles at the plate. Teams are pitching him away constantly and he's trying to pull the ball. All you're going to do is swing and miss or roll it over weakly to the left side.

Me either. Seriously looks exactly the same to me.

[Butcher]

20 pounds.

[Butcher]

Roped.

[Butcher]

C'mon, Miles. Make me hate you less.
