Ronny!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Wow, there is a small lake in right field.

2-0 lead over the Cardinals. This is sweet!

[cheapseats]

Nice showing by Young Matt Murton and Young Ronny Cedeno.

[abuck1220]

walks + extra base hits = runs

[sethuel1]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

You could've commented that Encarnacion dropped his keys in the puddle while trying to stick the landing.

[Outshined_One]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

 

He had no chance of getting to it, but the skip over the puddle and the hilariously bad throw won't endear him to any Cardinals fans any time soon.

[YearofDaCubs]

Good to see Cedeno and Murton get on base. I have to say JJones and Encarnacion or pretty worthless.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

 

He didn't want to get his feet wet.

[CubinNY]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

 

Not real. They were shading Ronny to pull and he hit it 20 foot from the line.

[halplm]

so... I'm not sure which to think... that I'm glad we can expect some production at the bottom of the order... or that I'm upset they're at the bottom of the order instead of the ever present Perez...

[jkrapfl]

Wow, there is a small lake in right field.

 

Does Jacque know how to swim?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miller popped out to shortstop

[Fred Hornkohl]

Suppan grounded out to short, 6-3

[cheapseats]

Miller popped out to shortstop

 

Miller?

[rawaction]

Aaron Miles is a switch hitter? Who knew?

[LoneStarCubFan]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

 

He had no chance of getting to it, but the skip over the puddle and the hilariously bad throw won't endear him to any Cardinals fans any time soon.

 

He was afraid he'd slip on the ice.

[Outshined_One]

so... I'm not sure which to think... that I'm glad we can expect some production at the bottom of the order... or that I'm upset they're at the bottom of the order instead of the ever present Perez...

 

If Ronny and Murton continue to produce effectively over the next month, I can't see how Dusty will keep them at the bottom of the order.

 

Cedeno needs to work on his double clutching.

[Bruce Miles]

Might have to write about how that run was set up by a nice, patient, smart plate appearance by Murton. Excellent.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miller popped out to shortstop

 

Miller?

 

OK.... let's call him Miles

[MPrior]

Does anyone know if there's an online radio feed for the game that I don't have to pay for? No cable in L.A. = suckage.
