Re: 5/4 Cubs (Marquis) @ Cardinals (Wellemeyer) 7:05pm CDT, ESPN

[C.C.]

I just find it funny that we could've saved a boat load of money by just keeping Welly. They'll produce similar results.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Even my wife is now wondering about the idiocy of Joe Morgan.

[javy knows my name]

With Marquis out there, I get that feeling.

 

You know, the gun-to-your-head, Russian-Roulette feeling.

 

I feel like this is the kind of Russian Roulette where every chamber is loaded.

 

and all you can really do is pray for a manufacturing defect.

Mechanical defect works on both levels

 

Continue to play way above your skill set Fontenot!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot doubled to down the left field line

[CubsGM]

Fontenot should be at 3rd!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Geaux Fontenot!

[haubrich91]

Fontenot has impressed me this series.

no i'm pretty sure he's one of those guys who would be awful with the cubs but pretty good for the cardinals.

[Flames24Rulz]

Duncan is trying to outbutcher Soriano.

[illiniguy]

Chris Duncan, well played out there buddy.

[C.C.]

Fontenot should be at 3rd!

 

 

Agreed! What the hell!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-11 when they hit at least 1 double.... 1-1 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

You have to allow for the birds-on-the-bat effect though. On any other team his ERA is probably above 5.

[genbar]

Keep it up, Fonteyes

[17 Seconds]

Why the hell is Glaus in so close?

 

Why the hell is he playing 3rd base like Scott Rolen?

True. Didn't think of the Duncan effect.

[Soul]

I'm pretty sure Fonty would have made 3rd on that one.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cubs have managed 3 fewer baserunners but wrung out 6 extra pitches through three innings. I love this team.

 

Until the pitchers come in (except Z)

 

True. And a few key injuries to get our best lineup on the field would be nice.

[17 Seconds]

It's official, Cedeno never to play again.

[C.C.]

These pitchers suck! Seriously.

[Warpticon]

Joe talking about ow weak Wellemeyer's fastball is again.

[illiniguy]

My favorite Cardinal of all time was John Rodriguez. In two years with the Cardinals I had over a .800 OPS. I leave them, I am out of baseball.

Healthy lineup with normal Soriano makes me drool

[cubsfan5150]

Cubs are 6-0 when they play the Pirates... 12-12 when they don't.
