4/22 Cubs (Fat Glendon) @ Cardinals (Fat Bastard) 1:15PM CSN

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Man Aram runs like he wearing lead boots slowest guy on the team easily.

not if the Cubs trade for Cabrera

[Schwarber Fan]

Who are you listening to? Just curious as I have the WGN announcers on comcast here. 1 run in that inning is a crime.

 

 

 

He was safe!

 

And it's def annoying listening to these announcers say how great of a play it was by Pujols. He barely stretched. And it wasn't that difficult of a pickup.

 

 

I'm watching MLBtv, which has the Cardinals broadcast on. Wish I had the WGN crew...

 

Go to MLB.tv via cubs.com.... u can get len and bob

 

 

I tried that...hmmmmm

 

Well I was using a friend's MLB.TV account and I ended up with Len and Bob...

[da bears]

Alright Glendon. Get out of this. Don't give up anything to Luna.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Eckstein grounded out to first, unassisted, Taguchi to third

[Schwarber Fan]

eckstein grounds out

I know the reasoning behind the sac bunt. I just don't like it in the 3rd inning of a game. It takes you out of the possible big inning and you get one lousy run. One run isn't going to win this game.

 

Earl Weaver's Fourth Law: "If you play for one run, that's all you'll get."

 

Weaver's Fifth Law: "Don't play for one run unless you know that run will win a ballgame."

Well, I guess it worked to perfection then. :cry:

[Andy]

It was nice of Eckstein to let his son bat for him.

[RyCubsFan]

Now the St. Louis announcers are claiming how much better Cardinal pitching is than Cubs pitching...

 

:roll:

[da bears]

Nice. Let's get some runs.

[Blueheart05]

GOOD job Glendon!

I'm not unhappy Pujols was left on deck. :D

[RyCubsFan]

I like how Cedeno has taken command of both infield popups today. He should be doing that as the captain of the infield.

[Andy]

Now THIS Glendon I wouldn't mind having around for a while.

[tinkers1]

Well the good news is if we don't score this half inning the worst Pujols could do next inning is tie it, so thats good.

[Balsa]

Ponson is due to implode any inning. He's been consistently getting behind batters in the count. I expect this or the next to be a big inning.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to first, 3-1

[cheapseats]

Now THIS Glendon I wouldn't mind having around for a while.

 

Glendon is what he is. Not a bad guy to have around if a starter goes down. He's had decent success against the Cards. I'd rather see Wood or Prior or Miller of course, but he's not as bad as his first two starts.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

I predict a Blanco HR.

[Soul]

Glendon is looking rather good today.

 

Of course, now I just jinxed him.

[AI]

Did Hector freaking Luna swing at a 3-0 pitch in front of AP with a runner on third and two outs? Did that just happen?

[sunbiz1]

Bear with me here as I am still trying to navigate this system(I just started posting here yesterday)and learn how to use it. I have never used MLBtv but heard that it has a lag time of 30 seconds or so. Rusch still looks good here.

Indeed !

Larussa give him the green light?

[cheapseats]

Glendon is looking rather good today.

 

Is it his soulful but squinty eyes, his impish smile, or his ample belly?
