[CuseCubFan69]

Talk to me people...what's going on?

[soccer10k]

And we're off to a good start.

[gerby23]

Good things no one is pessimistic over just one single. Oh wait.

[Pushfrog98]

game over? lol

[soccer10k]

Talk to me people...what's going on?

 

Leadoff single with Loney coming up.

[weatherdood]

Leadoff single for Martin

[Elrhino]

Before I get too caught up in the Cardinals, I'd really like to keep this lead against the Dodgers.

[inari]

Okay, it's 0-2 again... don't lose another one, Demp.

[The Voice of Reason]

Ankiel has 8 homers already. Wow!

Yep. Our big 3 are the only ones who have more on the team this year.

 

(Barrett had 9 if you want to count him.)

 

Couldn't the Cubs have been "jerks" and claimed Ankiel off waivers when the Cards sent him down despite Ankiel's claims he wouldn't play for anyone else?

[Schwarber Fan]

Blanco or Soto should be catching

 

the Dodgers will likely try to run eventually here

[weatherdood]

Oh no

[BCVM22]

Ahhhhhhh.

[inari]

Sigh. We're not winning this one.

[Keener98]

Bring in Marmol

[illiniguy]

nice play Lee.

[Outshined_One]

That could have been really bad.

[moorecg]

No they couldn't, and Ankiel isn't that big of surprise because we've known all along he could hit.

 

I don't think anyone expected he'd have a 1.100 OPS at this point.

 

I would've expected the slugging to be reasonably high, but he can't sustain the OBP.

Well he never walked a lot in the minors. Now batting in front of Pujols, a position where you will always get pitched too, he is walking. Now part of that is the Cardinals have played a lot of home games lately, but still it is ridiculous that his patience is getting better at the big league level.

 

I heard this morning that his BABIP is something like .400...that seems unlikely to be sustainable.

[Omar]

Uh-ohhhhhhh!

[Schwarber Fan]

Ankiel has 8 homers already. Wow!

Yep. Our big 3 are the only ones who have more on the team this year.

 

(Barrett had 9 if you want to count him.)

 

Couldn't the Cubs have been "jerks" and claimed Ankiel off waivers when the Cards sent him down despite Ankiel's claims he wouldn't play for anyone else?

 

He'd be 0 for the MLB with 65 K's if we did that

[CuseCubFan69]

Talk to me people...what's going on?

 

Leadoff single with Loney coming up.

 

By jingles...I thought somebody hit a homer! Let's turn 2 boys!

[moorecg]

I don't like this at all...

[Pushfrog98]

crap crap crapola.

[soccer10k]

Here we go again. IF single for Loney. 1st and 2nd, no outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

of course La Roche will get a bunt down...

[genbar]

I'm feeling my chest tighten up. I can't take this!
