Did I hear this right?

 

Ankiel hit a 3 run homer.

 

Good for him.

 

As long as he doesn't propel them to the pennant or anything.

Lee playing the Jacque role tonight.

[BigSlick]

yeah basically jock can get hits on balls that are belt high, middle of the plate

 

Its good to know, Kendall usually can't.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-8 when they hit a sacrifice fly.... 41-47 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Ankiel hit a 3 run homer.

 

i hate him already

Figures, something bad happened to a Cardinals prospect and he still is going to come back and be a productive player on offense no less

I liked him better when he was drilling hotdog vendors from the mound...

There is balance in the world...

I'd love to see the next 6 innings just fly by. I really don't want to see anything crazy happen, because anything CAN happen in this stadium.

Haha ya me too. But he still has the opportunity to do that from the outfield instead of the pitchers mound.

[Cynosure]

So in the first 3 innings we have gone "1, 3, 5, ???" in runs... the next logical number in the sequence is... 7!

Especially when you consider the way the Rockies have been swinging their bats.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Tulowitski flied out to center field

[Fro]

He's a Cardinal now. Now that he has made it back I hope he fails.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Lilly's thrown so many pitches, he might struggle to qualify for a win w/ a 9-1 lead...

i think ankiel will do okay for a while, but he's sort of an all-or-nothing type of hitter. He strikes out a lot, and I have a feeling that as time goes on major league pitchers will have a better idea of how to attack him. We'll see how he adjusts to that.

It really is amazing. These kinda things always happens to the Cards. I swear.

Obviously he's a future Cub then..

[Fred Hornkohl]

Holliday walked

[BigSlick]

I don't know how much more Lilly could do, he threw 4 strikes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have issued more than 3 BBs in 27 of their last 39 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[TruffleShuffle]

I don't think we can complain, for half the year we had this guy called Jason Marquis that was lights out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Atkins called out on strikes
