9/15 Game 1: Cubs (Lilly) @ Cards (Looper) 12:10 CDT WGN/720

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lilly needs to start throwing strikes. He's getting behind every hitter so far. Not good.

 

Yeah.... 20 pitches, 9 strikes through 4 batters.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edmonds doubled to right center field , Pujols & Ludwick scored

[Roast]

soapdrop you, edmonds.

[E.J.]

Crap. That was a terrible pitch. Knee-high on the inside part of the plate. Come on Lilly.

[Prior4CyYoung]

poor play by Ward and Lilly threw that pitch right down the middle with 2 strikes not good.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 58-28 when they score first in the game.... 18-43 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!!

[Andy]

Edmonds can drop his own soap. Damn it.

[salukifudd]

Really bad pitch on a 1-2 count, Lilly is not locating well at all.

[Careless]

I'm so glad we skipped marshall so we can do this.
