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

[illiniguy]

great game derrek. You really came to play today.

[TysonCBulls423]

Derrek needs to take some extra BP again.

[C.C.]

Whew! I took a walk and came back in right where Pojols popped up.

 

Who takes walks?

 

I was too nervous to watch. I do this all the time...

How did you handle the playoffs in 03?

 

A lot of booze...

[JonnyRed]

Come on Cubs...let's slam the door shut and get this W!

[hardcorecubfan]

Lee- Strikes out again???

What's with him??? did he and Jones switch bodies?

[CubsBears29]

Derrek, the bat is usually best when SWUNG, not left SITTING ON YOUR SHOULDER!!

 

Err, but in your case... it pretty much has the same effect, which ever you prefer to do or not do with it.

[SouthSideRyan]

To the top of the 9th Sword.

 

Dempster coming into pitch. I don't have the lineups in front of me but Pujols made the last out of the 8th.

[Cynosure]

lee is bad

[C.C.]

great game derrek. You really came to play today.

 

I'd rather have Ward at 1b.

[bc2k]

wtf D. Lee sucks

 

He's not getting 20 homers this year.

[Mizzou]

To the top of the 9th Sword.

 

Dempster coming into pitch. I don't have the lineups in front of me but Pujols made the last out of the 8th.

Encarnacion leading off, Edmonds is after him I think.

[TMan92]

When Soriano comes back, Lee needs to be moved to fifth in the order. It is unbearable to watch the guy bat these days.

[Keener98]

Dempster? Really? Can't we please have Marmol?

 

If Marmol isn't pitching the 9th...

 

Hes not guess they are saving him for when Dempster gets in trouble

[TruffleShuffle]

Walk the guy that can't function without cocaine to get to the best hitter in baseball. Brilliant!

 

Alex Rodriguez says hello.

 

What am I missing here?

 

AROD>>>>>>>>PUJOLS

 

no way. Pujols had a better VORP in 2006, 2004 and 2003, and in 2005 they were basically even.

Yeah in Iowa City I was loaded pretty much the entire time.

Heck, I resorted to listening to the radio feed so I'd know what happened a split second before the dish TV caught up...Oh yeah, and I paced outside on my deck between innings of game 3 because I was about to pass out.

Yep horrible, lol. Throw strikes Demp.

Exactly, to say that AROD is a ton better than Albert is nonsense.

[Mizzou]

STRIKES, DEMPSTER!

The comment referred to the best hitter in baseball, not the best hitter in baseball since 2003.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Throw strikes, Ryan!

[TysonCBulls423]

come on DEMP
