6/3 Cubs (Rusch) @ Cards (Mulder) 3:05 CT on FOX

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Jones you are an idiot.

 

I can't blame him for that, he probably could have gotten in 3rd if he would have just slid, now looking at the replay.

 

Not a chance, he was out by 4 steps.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rusch sacrificed, 1-3, Cedeno to second

[anemic offense]

Striking out against Rusch has bad side effects on the rest of the body. Parts just shut down in reponse.

 

Or he hurt something in his back in an unrelated fashion.

 

So apparently there wasn't a major incident which in effect caused a glaring injury.

TT's right. Unless a tag was botched sliding wouldn't have made a difference.

[Outshined_One]

Kind of sad that the only legitimate offensive threat for either team today are their third basemen.

Really? Mulder got the ball to Rolen in a hurry.

 

Rolen didn't get the ball until JJ was almost there. It's that he backed up that he got tagged. I really think if he slid in feet first he had a chance to make it. Now that I look back at it he shouldn't have taken off. But the ball came back so fast I can call this as bad of a blunder as getting picked off 2B.

[Balsa]

Meh. It wasn't that bad of a mistake.

[beersoakedivy]

CUBS ran themselves out of another inning...it's like a broken record

[anemic offense]

Again the Cubs can't score with a lead-off double. They've got that down pat.

You're gonna make Barrett cry.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Pierre grounds out to second and then the pitcher....consistency...isn't that what the Cubs are looking for.....I like it!

How is Jones not a legitamite threat, he's killing the ball lately.

He's played it before. :P

[TruffleShuffle]

What happened to Pujols? just tuned in

 

Pulled up lame on a foul ball in the top of the second, holding his back.

 

Don't old people have a lot of back problems? :lol:

Someone's in for Aramis today? :o

[Jim Ignatowski]

Jones with another baserunning blunder.

 

Shut up McCarver, he tried to go to third on a comebacker.

 

 

You never make the first out at third.....NEVER

 

 

You forgot we're playing Dustyball.

That was the perfect response. ;)

Uhhh...yes it was. You never make the first out at third. Baeball 101

[anemic offense]

Mcidito: Card pithcers have 2 homers to the cathers' zero. That's pretty amazing.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina struck out (called)

[E.J.]

You have to figure that Pierre is going to luck into an RBI at some point.

[Brian]

"Rusch has a big, big heart" .... and stomach.

[Outshined_One]

Rusch's stuff doesn't match his heart...which is why Dusty and Larry love him. Apparently Glendon needs treatment for an enlarged heart.
