Bennett blows. that was awful

[98navigator]

DeRo, get these RBI

[Vinestal]

We need to save some runs for tommorow, we will need them tommmorow with Miller going

[98navigator]

DeRosa scuffling

[Butterscup1679666578]

Let's get a quick 1-2-3 and hang the W.

[Flames24Rulz]

We may as well leave Ohman out there for the 9th.

[Post Count Padder]

Passed ball, runners advance

[Post Count Padder]

DeRosa out, inning over

[Sarcastic]

This has all the makings of another 3 game series where we severely outscore our opponent yet lose 2 games.

 

Except that Miller is pitching tomorrow, so the Cardinals should have a great chance to make up some of those runs.

CUBS are 6-0 when they lead after 8 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Shavo]

I'm pretty sure Jones is a better hitter then Pie, but ok?

 

Completely false.

 

That makes a lot of sense.

I'm pretty sure Jones is a better hitter then Pie, but ok?

 

So you never saw Jacque play before last year?

 

He had a .756 OPS in 2005 and a .742 in 2004.

 

PECOTA projected Pie and Jones to have virtually identical OPS this year, but Pie's defense would be much better.

[98navigator]

Fox at it again!!!

[cubweiser03]

this spit screen is so small.

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm expecting Ohman to blow the shutout.

[Brian]

WE DON'T CARE !!!!!!!!!!!

[PrimeTime]

So were gunna win this one and get our hopes up..then of course the trend will go on where well lose tomorrow,then win,then lose..and keep up the 3 and 4 games back of .500...this sucks

[98navigator]

Damnit, can we see the end of OUR game? :roll:

[Mephistopheles]

fox sucks so much

[VVMattVV]

I really don't like listening to McCarver/Buck unless I absolutely have to...

[98navigator]

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT GAME

[Butterscup1679666578]

1 down!

[cubweiser03]

i cant see that damn ball.

[texascub]

I'm pretty sure Jones is a better hitter then Pie, but ok?

 

Completely false.

 

That makes a lot of sense.

 

What information do you have to offer that says that Pie is any worse than Jones? His 18 career ML ABs? He's one of the best prospects in the game and even at this point has more to offer than Jones does, and he's only going to get better.
