5/6 Cobs (Big Z) @ Dusty Baker's Reds (Harang) 6:10 CSN

[SABR Gamer]

Am I the only one who misses Meph? He was a jerk, but he was really a smart baseball fan, and if you could just ignore his arrogance he was a good read. I guess I'm just sad to see us lose the mind that figured out EQA.

 

Quite honestly, I think he's ticketed to a life of trading for Goldman Sachs. He's got the arrogant attitude that investment banks love to have on their payrolls.

 

My dad is an investment banker for Goldman Sachs...yeah I guess he is an arrogant a-hole so I'm not really offended.

Looper just doubled for the cards. What the hell are their pitchers hitting this year?

[Roast]

Gah.

[17 Seconds]

Memo to Rockies' pitchers: Stop giving up doubles to Cardinal pitchers.

 

Memo to Lee: Stop sucking.

[Schwarber Fan]

Yikes... the DLee slump train rolls on

[weatherdood]

Ick. One more solid inning from Z makes me feel a lot better about this game, but for some reason, I have serious reservations.

[illiniguy]

A groundball off Barmes' face and the cards lead 2-0.

[Flames24Rulz]

Cards take a 2-0 lead after Izturis hits a ball that took a funny hop by Barmes and went into LF. And Izzy also has a 7 game hitting streak now.

 

Only the Cardinals.

Lee needs to get back to his opposite field approach with fastballs on the outside. It seems like he tried to pull that pitch early in the count several times tonight. He would have taken it the other way for a hit a couple weeks ago. I'm sure he'll figure it out again. Cubs are still looking strong tonight :)

Looper just doubled for the cards. What the hell are their pitchers hitting this year?

Not enough for Looper to become a better than average starter for STL after never having started at the big league level, he's going to start hitting too.

[Roast]

Yikes, Z has 99 pitches going into this inning. Didn't realize that...

[Roast]

that's 100.

[JimSorgi]

How long until Cubsgm calls Derrek Lee a bad player?

[SABR Gamer]

What happened to Meph? I haven't seen him post in a while.

 

Banninated.

 

I'm going to kind of miss him come MLB draft time. The dude was a jerk, but he knew his stuff.

He was so high up his pedestal you couldn't see him through the clouds

I just feel like the board was more exciting to read when Meph posted here.

Birds on bat dude. I am ready to play for the Wild Card.

I'm going to be working with those people for the rest of my life at the rate my education is going. Investment and business law is entertaining, but the people...well, yeah.

[Flames24Rulz]

Barton makes it 3-0 Cardinals. All of this is coming with two outs to Looper, Izturis, and Barton. Typical.

[Roast]

well, 4 pitches. That'll help the pitch count. 103 after that inning.

[SouthSideRyan]

Great quick inning Z!

[Schwarber Fan]

Thom is really pissed... I love it

[Brian]

that was quick

[Roast]

err 6 pitches it looks like. whoops.

[Andy]

While Thom is crying for Harang, he may note that, um, Z's ERA is around 1.80 this year.

 

Dustyball lets Z get out of the 7th quickly. Marmol, Wood and let's go home.

[AFCubsFan]

Nice inning from Z!!!! I would say that the good part of the line up is coming up for the Cubs, but I think there is some good in every part of the line up tonight. Let's get some more runs!!!
