9/6: LA (Lowe) at Cubs (Marquis), 1:20 pm CDT; CSN

[Keener98]

ridiculous strike call

 

Yea if Lowe gets that low strike the rest of the day we are screwed.

 

Time to make up for being a dumbass Ward

[Pushfrog98]

am I crazy in thinking that DLee needs to move about 1' closer to the plate? Every pitcher throws the ball in the exact same spot to him... down and away.

[bukie]

Single to shallow center would be all that was needed to bring Theriot home.

[The Voice of Reason]

wtg offense!

 

Now it's tied

 

Yeah, the missed opportunities (Ward) in the first inning area big now, since the Cubs offense can't seem to do much else.

 

Ward got picked off first???

 

Oh well, I guess that happens from time to time to great base stealing threats. :roll:

 

It gets better it was by the catcher with a runner on 2nd, and a walk followed which would have made it bases loaded 1 out.

 

That figures. What was Ward trying to do, taunt the catcher like little leaguers do?

[IowaCubsFan]

How does Daryl Ward have a .340 avg? He sucks, and shouldn't come within a whiff of starting ever again.

[Keener98]

Tarp off the field in STL now...

 

Yay Mike Maroth folks

[TMan92]

Wish Ramirez was playing.

[Schwarber Fan]

That inning was so Cubs

[Elrhino]

Ward didn't waste any time swinging weakly at the first pitch ... but when it's shoelace high, how can you lay off? Who has that kind of willpower?

No he doesnt suck, he can hit, but he shouldnt be starting I agree.

Ive noticed the samething for a while now..while it would be nice to hit inside pitches where he's at now which is like 18 feet off the plate.hes not gonig to get any.He is not going to hit anything outside because hes so damn far..he needs to move in closer

He is starting because we don't have Aram in the lineup today.

[C.C.]

This is where the Dodgers tack on...

[soccer10k]

The Cubs will score in the sixth inning - it's their second best scoring inning this year.

There are better options

I remember that being Sosa's problem for a while too... after he got beaned in the noggin, he moved back from the plate quite a ways. Think Lee is "afraid" to scoot back in after getting hit by Young?

[Keener98]

WTF Marquis you had him at 2nd. However Kendall shouldve been yelling to throw to 2nd and we dont know if he was.

 

Time for Pierre to hurt us again

[Lockes Eye Scar]

they had him dead to rights at 2nd... ****

With the bat, I disagree

But Ward is a much better base runner.

[Schwarber Fan]

It's too obvious what's gonna happen here

[Omar]

He didn't even try to move away from it.

[Outshined_One]

He kinda made no effort to get out of the way there.

[soccer10k]

Pierre really tried to avoid that pitch.

[Schwarber Fan]

GUYS! We should try to hit Rickie Weeks and Juan Pierre this year. That would be new and exciting!
