[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs hitters hit 500 with 3 HR's with runners in scoring position during the first two games.

I see...so both teams have forsaken the #2 spot... :P

 

The Cards lineup is uglier than the Cubs.

 

that's why i don't think the cards will win the central this year. that lineup sucks. they have five black holes in their lineup (six if you count the pitcher). if pujols, edmonds, or rolen slump/get hurt, they're going to have problems scoring runs.

That Bud Light daredevil is an idiot.

 

...ON A FRIDAY!!!!!

walker just punched neifi in the nuts when he was introduced as the 2b.

[Vinestal]

Nefi batting 2nd? Brilliant! :(

*sigh*

i see wgn spent the offseason coming up with that fancy new font.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

I'm not sure why everyone thinks the Cubs lineup is better than the Cards. The Cardinals have better top end talent however the Cubs are a little more well rounded. I think its about a wash.

[Bull]

Is there any way to get MLBTV to give me a WGN feed?

no.

they broadcast one feed.

this is crap.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Eckstein has one hellova line against Maddux.

 

455/455/636 in 11 AB's.

 

On the other hand, Eckstein is 3 for 13 this season and was 0-4 in his last game.

Who do you think will win? The Cubs have a shot at 6 holes (depending on Murton and Pierre). Could the Astros actually have the best non-Cincinnati offense in the division? They only have 2 legit holes, and Ausmus was pretty decent last year. Biggio, Berkman, Lane, and Ensberg are solid. Tavarez could be.

i never said the cubs' lineup was better...i'm unimpressed with both.

Nasty runny bird crap

[Outshined_One]

You know it's baseball season when you hear Wayne Messmer belt out, "BREVE!"

 

Woo!

[Warpticon]

After years, I still can't get used to how Messmer sings "and the rockets' red glarrrrr, the bombs bursting in arrrrrrrr"

Agreed. The Cards big 3 is better than the Cubs big 3. I'd take Cubs other 5 vs. the Cards 5, though.

[Irishoshea21]

Len...shame on you

 

Cubs didn't start at wrigley until 1916

Oops, OK. Yeah, the Cards offense certainly has regressed.

yeah, i'm going w/ the astros...especially if clemens comes back. everyone rags on houston's offense, but, like you said, they have fewer glaring holes than the cubs and cards. heck, the brewers offense really only has one obvious hole.

I'm just curious as to who is the 3rd of our big 3. Is it the guy who's on the bench today?

Let's play some baseball!!!

Really? The only position I see the Cubs are clearly better is C and maybe LF. Looking things over again I'd take the Cards lineup but maybe that's my bias.
