if there was something wrong before the game and they pitched him, well no that's actually par for the course.

[Fro]

Awesome, so dusty and hendry have now completely destroyed our "top farm system".

[UMFan83]

Its the top of the Cards lineup in the 9th...gonna be tough

[Big Fergie J]

Pujols due up 3rd in the top of the 9th...Go Oritz !!

I have seen this one, he homers.

[Guancous]

To hell with this. I'm watching the Washington/St. Louis game and then I'm going to play some video games. I made it this far but I can't stomach this walking Worst Case Scenario anymore.

 

I'm especially bitter because I need a good Zambrano outing for my 1st place fantasy team. His ERA of 27.00 and WHIP of 6.00 is not helping matters.

 

If I was Dusty Baker I would say that I forgot my toothpicks in my car and just drive home.

[UMFan83]

Wait there was ONE OUT when Cedeno misfired home?!?! I thought there was none out....that settles it....Cedeno should be thrown in Lake Michigan

[Andy]

It's official, every decent Cubs player of the last two seasons have gone on the DL. (Because we all know Z is seriously injured, this team wouldn't be the Cubs otherwise)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Boy, Just when I think the Cubs can't possibly sink any lower, we have today's game where our ace can't find the strike zone and our best hitter grounds into a taylor-made DP against the flippin Pirates!

 

Can't they just cancel the rest of the season?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, how do the cubs compare this year to last in GIDP?

 

CUBS are on a pace to ground into 136 double plays this year..... compared to 129 last year

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

This is silly, but I forgot. Is Mateo injured? I can't keep track of which players are injured or not.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Murton grounded out to first, unassisted

[illiniguy]

All those pitchers being hurt is just bad luck dude, it isn't misuse. Horses used to pitch complete games.

[da bears]

Says on ESPN.com that Mateo is scheduled to start tomorrow.

[illiniguy]

over/under until Hill gets hurt? I give him 2 more starts.

[oldstyle81]

The cards might get no hit, ortiz is through 8 in washington

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pagan walked

[UMFan83]

Infected tear duct? You could make an all star roster if you combined the Red Sox and Cubs crazy injured rosters.

[Jim Ignatowski]

Go CUBS !!

 

Thanks! :)

[sweetpeteman]

WHAT?

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 41-48 when they draw at least 2 walks.... 14-32 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Andy]

Wait, that's SERIOUSLY the injury?

 

Oh you've gotta be kidding.

[UMFan83]

I'm listening to the Cardinals broadcast, Rooney sure likes talking about what's going on

I think they are just making them up at this point.
