08/26 CUBS (Hill) @ St Louis (Carpenter) 12:20 CDT, FOX TV

[fiver]

hahhahah...I get the Braves game instead of the Cubs. That's a blessing me thinks. I'm tempted to go hit some golf balls before beerfest tonight.

[InconspicuousZ28]

No surprise there, a lucky ass play in the outfield to rob Bynum of a hit.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Cubs go down 1-2-3 to start the game. Yay.

[radarluv1]

Great....Thom Brennaman is calling the game for Fox...

 

at least no shannon and their boring PBP guy on xm radio.

[Outshined_One]

Enough already with how young Pujols is. We all know it's a crock, quit pretending it's otherwise.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

wtg Hill

[RichHillIsABeast]

AAAA Hill strikes out Pujols.

Did anyone else hear the announcers say something about Barry Bonds playing in 1951? Maybe I'm just crazy, but I'm sure they said it.

[CubColtPacer]

It's nice to see the Cubs work Carpenter for 20 pitches that inning even though they are not getting very many good swings off of him.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Hill...mowing 'em down.

[RichHillIsABeast]

AAAA Hill with 2 perfect innings.

Barry Bonds' godfather Willie Mays broke in with the Giants in 1951. Could that be what they're talking about ?

[InconspicuousZ28]

Hill's HR giving ways continue....

[Outshined_One]

Is there something about being a Cubs pitcher that causes them to give up big hits to backup catchers?

[CubColtPacer]

St. Louis's catchers just own us..I have no idea why.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bennett = 3 HRS, 2 against the Cubs

[Outshined_One]

I think Hill sent Bucknor a message with that pitch.

[RichHillIsABeast]

That was catchable, Sr. Barrett. WP issued to Hill. :x

[Guancous]

A Cardinal no-hitter would be an exclamation point on this gruesome season.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Hill so far:

 

4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 2 K (Pujols and Rolen)

 

57 pitches, 37 strikes

Sounds like Jacque should have had 2 walks today already.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nevin breaks the no-no.

 

Unfortunately, the odds look pretty good that the Cubs will be shut-out for the 14th time this year. That's got to be a franchise record.

[RichHillIsABeast]

I think that's the first DP Murton has grounded into since the ASB.

[J.R.]

Nice of Thom to point out the obvious in the face of McCarver's idiocy.

 

Baker has yet to put together a competent season in Chicago.

[Stu]

Is anyone else getting force-fed Little House on the Prarie instead of the game? It just baffles the mind that Fox would deny me baseball in the pennant stretch and instead give me Laura Ingalls Wilder.
