:D !

[KaiserCesar]

Lanky vs. Fatty, who wins? I'll pick lanky. Go Cubs!

 

Prediction: Murton 2/2 2 HR 3 BB 4 RBI

[wolf stansson]

Cardinals will tee off on Marshall. Then again, the Cubs will probably tee off on Ponson. Glad to see were putting out best face forward for the national TV audience.

It's probably going to be a home run derby.

[otis89]

No, no, no. Ponson sucks. He's horrible. That being said, he will absolutely dominate the Cubs.

ESPN sure did get the B show for tomorrow night. Saturday's, or even Friday's, pitching matchup compared to Sunday - man oh man.

Marshall is gonna throw his ONLY really good game of the year. Jacque with the GW RBI. Cubs sweep, move into first this week. It'll be amazing. GO CUBS

[UMFan83]

The wind is blowing out too most likely...

 

My prediction

 

Marshall 5IP 7H 6ER 3K 2BB

Ponson 6IP 5H 3ER 2K 1BB

 

However, I'm hoping the Cubs do what they did to the bullpen yesterday.

Yeah, I think Marshall might get rocked with the wind blowing out a la, the Padres game... Hopefully, I'm wrong and the Cubs pound Ponson.

No, Ponson isn't a soft-tossing rookie.

 

Gotta work the count today. That being said, Ponson goes 8 and throws 80 pitches.

[Outshined_One]

Wind should be blowing out to left/left center between 5-7 mph.

[srbin84]

I'll set the over/under of combined home runs at 5.5

thanks for the counter-jinx.

Great series, guys. This was a heck of a weekend of baseball!

 

Thanks for being good sports. ;)

[Mark_R]

I wish the Cards fans at school would have taken me up on my proposed bet to them :(

[ManCrushOnNomar]

Thanks Cardinals' bullpen.

Ponson hasn't changed much since last year, switched to more two seamers (Duncan trait) but can't throw a good enough breaking pitch and isn't too effective with his change.

 

He's still out of shape and gets flustered too easily. After the HR to Jones, he missed in the zone to Murton with pitches that had Murton been seeing the ball well, should've crushed.

[indifferent]

Best offensive catcher in the NL.

 

Honestly, does he do as much damage vs. other teams than the Cards? I think we might have another Alex Gonzalez on our hands (albeit a more talented one).

[SouthSideRyan]

3 year splits: .297/.360/.505 vs. Cards

 

.267/.328/.467 vs. all teams.
