04/22 NY Mets (Figueroa) @ CUBS (Lilly) 1:20pm, CSN TV

There's some Geiko insurance runs.

[Banghart]

I'd love to see Fuku hit 2nd from now on.

I've wanted Fukudome-DeRosa for quite a while now.

 

Speaking of DeRosa singles to make it 4-1.

[E.J.]

Nice work DeRo.

[RedFlash]

pujols is playing 2nd...wtf.

isnt his elbow screwed up? Why would tony do that? If you are going to stick someone at 2nd who can't play it, wouldn't you go with someone other than your franchise player?

 

If it was me, I'd have put Schumaker at 2B (he played SS and 2B in college) and Larue in left, leaving Pujols and his gimpy arm at 1B.

I would never move Pujols until he gets his arm fixed. Why tempt fate?

 

B/c LaRussa want to get the legendary Jason LaRue into the game?

[da bears]

Do you guys realize that every starter except Cedeno and Pie have walked today?

 

I love our team.

 

This team so far has been fun as hell to watch.

[illiniguy]

Come on Ronny Pipp.

[Garage Party]

Which outcome is more favorable in this Cardinals-Brewers game? I'm torn!

[Flames24Rulz]

Late inning runs. This is amazing.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I have a serious man crush on DeRosa

[illiniguy]

Which outcome is more favorable in this Cardinals-Brewers game? I'm torn!

The Cardinals winning in 45 innings.

Blanco's was intentional, though so it kind of deserves an asterisk in this case.

[mul21]

Come on Ronny Pipp.

 

Actually, that'd be Ronny Gehrig.

I'm thinking a 46 inning game in which every pitcher gets rocked and they have to use another starter each out of the pen ruining them for the rest of the week would be an ideal outcome.

It just doesn't seem like he hits enough homers to bat 5th. I'm not at all complaining about that spot, but maybe Soto could move to the 5 hole?

[illiniguy]

Come on Ronny Pipp.

 

Actually, that'd be Ronny Gehrig.

Oh yeah.

[Magnetic Curses]

I have a serious man crush on DeRosa

 

yeah, he's been real good since becoming a cub.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes that, please......

This seems to become an everyday thing. This isn't meant to be a knock on Cedeno or Pie, but it seems like every day all but 2 or 3 starters have walks. I have enjoyed this, and I hope we can keep this up.

Cardinals win but Pujols gets hurt playing second.

[Banghart]

Soto for now at 5, and move Soriano down there when gets back. Now if only we could get Lou to maximize the best hitters on the team.

 

Edit-Cedeno swings at a bad pitch for the first time today to strike out for the first out of the inning. Ward pinch hitting.

Edited April 22, 2008 by Banghart

[E.J.]

Bah. That was a terrible pitch to swing at.

[Elrhino]

I think the Cubs ought to go Little League and let Fukudome coach 3rd base when he's not batting. I trust his baseball IQ and judgement a lot more than Yost.

Take full advantage of that major league leading P/PA from Fukudome to start every game.
