Serena I like your avatar .. but if that's how effeminate the '08 Tigers looked taking a relay throw, no wonder the Cubs won the WS that year :wink:

 

The real story!

He looks like a ballerina.

 

Ty Cobb's ghost is going to shoot you for that.

I think the Cards need a cold shower.

 

The Cubs should turn off the hot water in the visitor's showers for the rest of the weekend.

 

That would interfere with Jim Edmonds' postgame rituals.

I don't see the problem here. He was making an observation on the agressiveness and pitching styles of the young guys. And in my opinion he's right.

 

I do think Hill should be starting for the rest of the year so he gets a chance to get comfortable in the majors. As has been brought up a lot, not all guys have that level of confidence to succeed right away.

 

My problem is that he has been involved in a number of heated discussions regarding Rich Hill on this board (including one in yesterday's game thread). There's nothing wrong with his opinion, but it's getting to a point where I'm absolutely sick and tired of people stirring the pot just to cause trouble. We've covered Rich Hill's ability/inability to perform as a major leaguer. There is no reason to keep drudging it up again and again to backhandedly bash other posters, prove a point, or just make trouble.

 

There was absolutely no need to bring Rich Hill into the conversation of Marmol's ability.

 

I'm not trolling dude. I'm just making a observation between the confidence and mound presence between Cubs pitchers starting their ML careers at the same time. I think it's a important factor as to why Rich Hill has failed at the ML level. Sorry you took it as trolling but no need to get upset about it. It's cool...

Hopefully he's innebriated and his aim is off.

Ooops. I dropped the soap.

 

Cards players: Edmoooonds.

If only Aramis would hustle and not slack off, he would have escaped Gary Bennett's grip and gotten to tee off on Looper.

 

Aramis was too busy stealing signs.

 

True. Poor Cardinals, the constant victim of baseball crime. :wink:

who's pitching for us right now? Sportsline has Eyre but didnt Murt PH for him?

 

Howry just put them down 1,2,3.

Posted (edited)

here's the plan. Howry kept the pitches down. bring him out for another inning and if he get the first two have him go right at the middle of Pujols back. let him get ejected and bring in Dempster for a one out save.

 

edit - I'd actually wait for a early inning AB on Sunday, but I really hope something is done about this.

Howry came in and set the side down in order.

It could set things up for another Cubs' brawl on a Saturday FOX game.

I think the only good thing you could say about the Dusty era is we've handled the cards pretty darn welll

Zambrano pitches Sunday. Edmonds should start picking out his body armor now.
