8/17 Cardinals (Looper) @ Cubs (Hill) 1:20 WGN

[illiniguy]

Didn't Jones just make a great catch? Only Cubs do that?

Ryan Ludwick would give his left nut to have the career or ability Jones has.

[TMan92]

Who the hell is Ludwick and where the hell did he come from?

 

Unlike the Cubs, the Cardinals have four guys come up each year and look like Hall of Famers. They signed Tony Womack the year after he stunk for us and he even looked like an all star.

jeff weaver, bo hart, fernando tatis, etc.

 

John Rodriguez. Ankiel....

I know. Weaver friggin kills me. KILLS ME!!!!!!! How was he good with the Cards and absolutely terrible EVERYWHERE ELSE?????

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I don't think Angel Hernandez would know a strike if it hit him in the nuts.

[CubsBears29]

I have a feeling this time around the order is going to hurt Rich Hill

 

Because I'm a Cubs fan, I unfortunately agree. :(

What happened to John Rodriguez??

 

He had his one year of helping them win 20 games, probably went to a new team and he figured out that he was a very average baseball player.

[Banedon]

Sigh....enough of the namecalling people. There's no reason this should need to continue to be repeated so often. Everyone knows the rule. Just follow it.

[Brian]

sit down gnome

average??? I don't think so.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This is likely Hill's last inning. Let's hope he can make it a good one.

here comes pujols to crush our spirits.

The lack of run support for Rich Hill is past the laughable stage...

[Electron Blue]

BTW for all of you Lee is "dead weight" morons... his august ops is still .853 so calm the f down.

 

Going off memory here, but I think it's 732 in the past 7 days, 680 in the past 14, and 750? in the past 28. No need to call people morons, unless you'd prefer to get banned to protect yourself from people who aren't happy with a 1B hitting like a shortstop.

 

nice play by jones.... anyway... if I get banned for using the word "moron" then I am completely fine with that. i one hundred percent stand by that comment.

It's not the word, it's the personal attack.

 

And as the one who used the term dead weight who inspired said personal attack, I was describing Lou's general practice of sitting those who slump, not calling Lee dead weight. It was a mere proposal that for how bad Lee continues to look when he takes all these strikes, he could use a day off.

 

Calm the f down.

 

It's not actually a personal attack, he was referring to everyone who is saying Lee is dead weight.

 

Gotta love all the wanna be mods.

 

jersey took issue that he was being lumped in with HMS's "morons" insult. His response was civil and honest -- he wasn't a wannabe mod anymore than you're the Official Post Patrol.

[Cynosure]

Rich pitching a shut-out... Cy Looper also? WHAT THE ****?

[badger1679666666]

It might be worse than Woody's run support in 2003 (which was attrocious).

 

It might actually be passing through the funny bad stage to the funny attrocious stage.

[Cynosure]

Hahaahhaha I thought Theriot was gonna jump over the tarp.

[CubsNSkers07]

game over?

[bcruise]

Crushed.
