OK, Morgan. :lol:

That would have been well worth it.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I fully expect a 7 run bomb by AP in the 9th.

You'll still lose by one after we score two this inning.

 

you didn't let me finish, followed by a rolen 9 run bomb.

 

:P

[Blueheart05]

How is Farns doing compared to Novoa?

So far this year he has a 4.5 ERA.

 

Novoa's ERA is 1.69. Of course, I'm sure Farns has thrown more innings.

Farns: 6ip 5Ks.

 

4.1 IP 2Ks for Novoa. I'll take it.

?????

Stands for The Best Fans in BaseBall. It was sarcasm.

And then Baker should ask to see the ball...and inspect Pujols's bat.

[Outshined_One]

We simply cannot escape Ron Santo's dog.

[minnesotacubsfan]

WHY dEMPSTER?

Cards fans applaud Mabry as he comes to the dish. TBIFIBB!!!!

 

QFT

 

:wink:

[BeerHere]

Dempster coming in?

[Balsa]

Did they cheer louder before Mabry came up or after he GIDP?

 

Also, Cedeno is red hot today. And I'm glad Pierre starting to really warm up.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ahhh, the obligatory Dempster appearance with a big lead.

[Blueheart05]

Cards fans applaud Mabry as he comes to the dish. TBIFIBB!!!!

 

Someone had a sign yesterday that said "Benedict Mabry" so he isn't universally applauded.

[MPrior]

Um...why did Baker pinch hit for Walker there? Mabry's a lefty too, and Walker's numbers aren't abysmal against lefties or anything. I sometimes feel Baker just feels like robbing Walker of as many at bats as possible.

[Blueheart05]

Ahhh, the obligatory Dempster appearance with a big lead.

 

He hasn't pitched since the end of the Dodgers series. He needs to stay sharp too.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

haha, BB making fun of Santo's dog. nice.

[badger1679666666]

WHY dEMPSTER?

 

I don't think he's pitched in a couple days since wedensday. He's gotta get work to stay fresh. I don' thave a problem with this at all.

[BeerHere]

Also, Cedeno is red hot today. And I'm glad Pierre starting to really warm up.

 

Agreed. The offense was asleep for 2 days

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster in to pitch for the CUBS

Edmonds doubled to left center field

It's a blowout. Maybe he just wanted Mabes to get his cuts.

We also had Benedict Veres and we remember how that turned out.

[YearofDaCubs]

It seemed like it would have been a perfect game to bring in Guzman if they indeed wanted him to work out of the pen. It coudl very well mean that he's going to be pitching on Wed.
