7/24 CUBS (Zambrano) @ St Louis (Wells) 7:10pm, CSN, XM 187

[Soriano12]

Z vs Wells was not supposed to be anywhere near this interesting. Please do something with the offense, Hendry.

He will trade for Juan Encarnercation...or however you spell it..who cares.

[E.J.]

Z vs Wells was not supposed to be anywhere near this interesting. Please do something with the offense, Hendry.

 

Yes please. Aramis and Lee can't do it all themselves, especially when Soriano is ice cold. Floyd is basically just a waste of space in RF at this point. We need a bat in a bad way.

[BCVM22]

What happened with Soriano? Did he drop a fly ball or what?

 

Line drive base hit to right, Soriano bobbles the ball as it reaches him.

Carl Crawford, please.

[Sammy Sofa]

Soriano apparently forgot he was playing baseball tonight, on the field and at the plate.

[Omar]

That was a loooooong game for a 3-2 score.

 

4-3

 

Yeah. Pujols did ground a Pierre for the final out.

[Magnetic Curses]

we need another bat plz, jim. we can't keep squeeking wins out like this.

 

and no to carl crawford, he'd cost too much and he's simply not that good.

[rickrolled]

Just got home -- did I hear correctly that DeRosa was injured tonight?

[B]

That was a loooooong game for a 3-2 score.

 

4-3

 

Yeah. Pujols did ground a Kendall for the final out.

[gflore34]

Ryan Ludwick? Ah...rrrrrrright...

[3Dog]

we need another bat plz, jim. we can't keep squeeking wins out like this.

 

and no to carl crawford, he'd cost too much and he's simply not that good.

 

Yes to Carl Crawford. .341 OBP this year, a better fielder than what we have out there in RF, and only $4M.

[E.J.]

Just got home -- did I hear correctly that DeRosa was injured tonight?

 

hamstring tendonitis. no word on if he's just day-to-day or if he has to go on the DL.

Yeah. Pujols did ground a Kendall for the final out.

 

Nah. A Kendall is a grounder to SS.

wait, if he's so cheap and awesome, why would tampa trade him?

 

like i said, he's not that good. if we're going to sell the farm, dunn is a much better option and provides much needed power.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Glad to get a win, but it doesn't change the fact our offense is not so good. And Kendall still sucks...

a catcher at iowa has a homer and two walks tonight too

yeah yeah, but there's nothing anyone can do about it except wait and hope he starts next year with the big club.

 

i have no idea why this organization hates him so much.

Gotta have a gritty veteran for the stretch run.

[pitchcs]

We are playing well right now, but tonight just goes to show that we are not a WS caliber team. Ours bats are so inconsistent and Zambrano is our only shutdown guy.

 

We would have to get very lucky or hot to compete in a 7 game series with an AL playoff team (Boston, Anaheim, Detroit).

 

Obviously this is common sense, just thinking what it would take to really put this team on those top AL teams level. One more #1/2 type pitcher or another Aram type bat, or both?

Though he's less consistent than Z, Lilly is more than capable of being unhittable any given day. He's a very good #2 pitcher right now.

[TruffleShuffle]

Outside of San Diego, Anaheim, and arguably Detroit, name me a team that has more than one shutdown guy. By that standard, the only WS-caliber team in the NL is San Diego.

 

But yeah, our offense is pretty average.

[pitchcs]

Yeah, but still inferior to those AL teams #2's (Matsuzaka, Escobar, Bonderman)

[Soriano12]

I swear, Lou is drunk is his post game conferences.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Yeah, but still inferior to those AL teams #2's (Matsuzaka, Escobar, Bonderman)

 

Performance-wise, Lilly is right there with those guys.

[B]

What is he saying?
