After Jason Marquis joined the sucky pitcher's movement and allowed a three-run homer to Hermida, the Cubs tried to get all three runs back in the next half inning. In one swing.
Alfonso Soriano took two balls out of the zone to lead off the bottom of the fifth, mainly because even he couldn't justify swinging at them. Soriano swung at the first pitch in the zone however and softly flew out.
Then, Izturis took ball 1 before swinging at the first strike he saw and flying weakly to center. Even Derrek Lee decided to be lazy, trying to pull a 2-0 pitch on the outer half of the plate and tapping to third.
A couple of innings ago, DeRosa and Barrett both decided to get picked off on the bases because they didn't feel like standing out there on the field. Why do all that running when you can be on your ass in the dugout instead?
No wonder nobody on this team has yet to complain about playing time. It's not because they're afraid of Lou; it's because they'd rather sleep.
