[Fred Hornkohl]

I can't believe we are still in this game:

 

LOB numbers-St. Louis-12 (7 in scoring position)

Cubs-4 (4 in scoring position)

 

Not so sure that we are !!

Now you're starting to sound like my wife...... every little thing is MY fault !!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

Why they heck do we wait until the 8th inning before we start taking pitches ???

[CubColtPacer]

Are they going to bring Flores in? That walk will likely end up being very good for the Cardinals if that happens..let's hope that Jacque can battle him.

We did a very good job of this in the first inning also..for some reason we forgot after that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Flores in to pitch for St. Louis

[chuckywang]

Why is Nevin not up there?

[Mark Priors Calves]

great call there dusty.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jacque Jones, you mother hubbard.

[CubColtPacer]

Why is Nevin not up there?

 

I don't know for sure why either-he could have replaced him, put Pagan in right and Murton in left after the inning.
