4/21 Cubs (Williams) @ Cardinals (Mulder) 7:10 PM WGNTV

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rolen popped out (foul) to first base, Pujols holding third

[XZero771679666304]

what the heck was Pujols doing?

 

I think he thought he was Edmonds for a second.

 

So many jokes, so little time.

 

We might have a lot of time if this game continues like this.

 

With Edmonds around, there are plenty of jokes to fill it.

[Jon]

They won't need a fresh bullpen with Rusch going tomorrow.

[Wild_Cubs04]

At least Novoa is throwing some strikes, TY

[JC]

Maybeline Edmonds isn't happy.

[Chris]

YEAH YEAH YEAH

 

K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cubfan75]

Novoa shoulda just plunked Edmonds s____ and giggles, but I guess a K is fine.

[JC]

I particularly despise losing when the Cubs give up more runs than a team has hits.

[Vinestal]

Some strange, twisted, evil, sick part of me is causing me to want to continue watching this. Maybe just because I do enjoy watching our bulpen pitch. Maybe they should start this Novoa guy, he looks alot better than Rusch and Williams. *sigh* Welcome to the post D-Lee injury Chicago Cubs folks.

[MPrior]

So I just started to pay attention to the game. This is disgraceful. I can't wait till Wood, Prior, and Miller come back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...cause then, I can watch them walk the pitcher with the bases loaded.

That is definately the worst feeling and my biggest pet peeve about pitching.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno flied out to right field

[abuck1220]

good outing, jerome.

 

if only the cubs had a promising young left handed pitcher who was currently dominating in AAA...

[XZero771679666304]

I particularly despise losing when the Cubs give up more runs than a team has hits.

 

Especially when the walks are issued to the 8 and 9 hitters.

[TheDude]

*sigh* Welcome to the post D-Lee injury Chicago Cubs folks.

 

This has nothing to do with post D-Lee. If he is in the lineup, the score is still 7-0.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Novoa struck out swinging

[Chris]

That was the greatest swing ever!

[cubfan75]

good outing, jerome.

 

if only the cubs had a promising young left handed pitcher who was currently dominating in AAA...

 

Speaking of AAA, how has Guzman done.

[XZero771679666304]

Does Williams have any options left?

[JC]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets aggravated by that.

Not too well in his last couple outings.

[Chris]

What was that about a eulogy earlier?

[frostwyrm]

*sigh* Welcome to the post D-Lee injury Chicago Cubs folks.

 

This has nothing to do with post D-Lee. If he is in the lineup, the score is still 7-0.

 

Lee would have hit a solo HR in the 1st inning.

[wolf stansson]

Jerome out, Novoa in.

 

Anyone else think that the majority of STL fans are sick of us having all sorts of injury problems? I know if I were a Cards fan I'd at least be a little disappointed that they have faced a shell of a Cubs team over the last three years.

A lot of Cubs fans I know give no credit to the Cardinals becuase of the injury excuse. I get sick of it. I'd like to see what the two teams could do completely healthy for an entire season. I also feel bad for good guys like Lee and good fans who have to go through this kind of frustration. But the douche bags I feel no sympathy for.
