Bruntlett hit a flyball to the warning track in left field and Soriano makes an ass out of himself , Wigginton scored

 

fixed

[Irrelevant Dude]

Soriano is a butcher out there. What an obscene waste of money.

At least he's a great leadoff hitter. Oh wait...

[TMan92]

and this is where the season falls apart

 

Nope. That happens when we lose at least three of four in St. Louis.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Good thing only Avodart helps the cause, because only Avodart shrinks the prostate.

[illiniguy]

The cardinals are gonna win today on a shut out by Braden Looper and a homer by Rick Ankiel. Quick someone tell me again how they aren't lucky.

[Alfonso Soriano]

WARNING TRACK POWER

[inari]

Nice at bat by Soriano.

[CDBears1259]

and this is where the season falls apart

Why the heck do the Cubs routinely (seemingly) allow the Astros to do this to them?

[TMan92]

And as usually happens in baseball. The guy that ruins the previous half inning with his defense comes up first (sarcasm).

They're just so...cagey.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nice at bat by Soriano.

Good to see him taking some pitches.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

GOD I HATE THIS.

[inari]

Good to see that we're answering right back with the top of the order up.

[CuseCubFan69]

Williams is pitching way inside and outside to keep them off balance. He's just not making mistakes down the middle.

[SouthSideRyan]

I want Gerald Perry's head on a platter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano flied out to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot popped out to shortstop

[TMan92]

Odds on Aram getting on for Clifford the Big Red Dog to blow the inning.

[illiniguy]

I want Gerald Perry's head on a platter.

Why it is the same hitters who did the same thing with Sare Matthews. They need to retool the lineup. Not everyone needs to be a hacker.

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee singled to left field

[Alfonso Soriano]

Williams is pitching way inside and outside to keep them off balance. He's just not making mistakes down the middle.

Not many teams make mistakes against us

[IowaCubsFan]

I want Gerald Perry's head on a platter.

 

No kidding. He's so much of an improvement over Gary Matthews and Gene Clines. :roll:

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Ramirez just missed his pitch.

[witty alias]

Another meaningless two-out baserunner.
