Haha. Take that Eckstein.

[Balsa]

Great job by our bullpen these last two days!!

 

Let's go Cubbies! *clap clap, clapclapclap* Let's go Cubbies!

[soccer10k]

Novoa for player of the game.

 

3 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk. I'm going to have to agree with you. Who would have thought that Novoa and Rusch would combine for 8 innings and 3 runs? Wow

[Wilson A2000]

I am glad Novoa pitched a few innings. Dusty shulda got one mroe inning out of Glendie

Let's not forget the RBI double. They should allow him to take a run off of his earned run total. Maybe two.

My player of the game is Pujols for leaving and denying the Cards of almost all of their power.

[Brian]

love the Red Sox/Yankees talk here.

That's a point. I don't doubt that Pujols would have hit at least 1 HR today had he played.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton struck out swinging

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Aramis will never live that head shot down.

[anemic offense]

Jock wants a homer

[Shilzzz]

Aramis will never live that head shot down.

 

that's fine. they can play all those 'lowlights' so long as the cubs are stomping the cardinals out like cigarette butts

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to first, unassisted

[Butterscup1679666578]

Cubs about to win...

Mizzou just took the lead...

All that is left is a Mavs win and I'm the happiest person alive today.

[Brian]

WOW, Buck sure knows his baseball. "Neifi scores the winning run last night" (it was Pierre)

Rolen looking human today as well. Not so easy to hit major league pitching when you have nothing around you in the lineup.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-3 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

It's easy to confuse to players with the sam offensive repetoire

[C.C.]

I don't mind Maddux pitching in place of Wood tomorrow. I think he'll throw a gem.

I'd rather have Z pitch every day
