[Schwarber Fan]

cmon Lee, split a gap

[anabiono]

If Cubs and Brewers lose, the Cards gain another game. Ack!

 

 

my friend thinks i am crazy for still being worried about the redbirds...

 

i told him last night...dude...they have played 3 fewer games than us...

 

if they win all of those games...

 

what i am trying to say is that they make me very nervous, and i will NOT count them out until all is said and done

[dbeider]

Please send Cedeno back down. Jeez.

 

Pie hasn't looked any better.

 

At least Pie is automatic in CF and fast as hell.

[illiniguy]

Jesus Derek swing the bat.

[CubsBears29]

Umps rule... especially bad & inconsistent ones.

They should worry you. Ankiel is gonna hit 15 homers for them.

Its a crap shoot after Z and Lilly at this point in time.

 

Except it's not. Marshall has been solid with the exception of two or three starts this year and Rich Hill had an ERA of 2.64 post-ASB (it was 3.81 pre-ASB) coming into the game. He had starts where he allowed 2, 1, 2, 3, and 1 ER's in his five post-ASB starts.

 

Why do people keep saying/implying that pitching is a problem with this team? IT'S NOT. It's the offense that is the problem.

Well, I didn't exactly say that.

 

Does anyone honestly feel comfortbale with Hill on the mound? Once one little thing goes wrong, a snowball effect occurs.

 

I like Marshall, I would start Marshall over Hill all things being equal right now.

 

I'm not ignoring the offense, but how much can you really expect tonight without 2 of their best hitters?

 

I know this much though, you can't give up 6 runs and expect to win.

[illiniguy]

i like dero with the bases loaded.

cmon

me too cause we would have scored a run.

Matt please don't roll over an outside pitch for a weak grounder to the left side. Edited August 12, 2007 by hawkeyecub

Sorry, I guess I should have specified. My second paragraph wasn't addressed to you rather the people who complain about the pitching in general.

Man on 1st nobody out for Brewers. Blah!
