Thanks Pierre and Neifi, 1-0

 

I try not to be negative, but I share your feelings.

 

It's great that DLee hit a HR, but it stinks that there was no one on base.

 

Derrek can't help that, and really, Neifi can't help that.

 

Dusty can help that.

 

Neifi is, by one way of ranking offense, the 12th worst offensive player since 1900. He shouldn't be at the top of the lineup - and he shouldn't be starting at all.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Ramirez has not been a very smart hitter to start the year it seems.

 

That seems to be a running theme with him, no?

 

Frustrating, because that's something that coaches can actually help with.

[CubinNY]

Strike out Mr. Eye Liner. please

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edmonds grounded out to the pitcher, 1-3

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Weakly hit ball by Mr. Maybeline.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Easy outs all around.

[Chris]

Good hit, Jimmy

[UBlink]

Thanks Pierre and Neifi, 1-0

 

And thanks Dusty for having the foresight to play Neifi. Walker probably would've just clogged the bases.

 

Just say no to base clogging

 

Has a HR ever been overturned because there were guys clogging the bases?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rolen doubled down the left field line

[Butterscup1679666578]

If Rolen wanted to hurt again, I probably wouldn't complain.

[Andy]

Whelp, there goes the perfect game.

[UBlink]

Off to the accountants - good thing my Premium is paid ahead :)

[Outshined_One]

Rolen looks healthy.

 

And only Cardinals fans think that Rolen is the greatest defensive 3B ever, Len. :P

[Fred Hornkohl]

Taguchi grounded out to second, 4-3, Rolen to third

[Brian]

crap, here comes the crappy backup catcher RBI.

Taguchi grounded out to second, 4-3, Rolen to third

 

Walker wouldn't have gotten to that one.

[Chris]

Come on Maddux

Well, if a base runner falls behind the guy who hit it, I believe it is an out. It had to have happened at some point in over 100 years of ball.

Please.

[Andy]

Great pitch by the Mad Dog! Let's get some more!

[Vinestal]

[Brian]

[J.R.]

The new rooftop club at Sheffield and Addison is a monster.
