[inari]

Did you guys hear who won rookie of the month?

 

Geovany Soto

[bcruise]

So glad the Cards got rid of Haren when and for whom they did...

[erik316wttn]

Haren foul pops to Fukudome. 2 down.

[Outshined_One]

So glad the Cards got rid of Haren when and for whom they did...

 

Remember when the Cubs had something like 11 straight hits off of him in an inning?

 

Good times, good times.

[SouthSideRyan]

Maybe the game will turn out like this one...the last time I expected this pathetic of a performance offensively:

That is one heinous lineup we ran out there.

I just remember Chip saying "this is unbelievable".

I forgot about the ridiculous two or three days that we ran Fontenot out in the 3 spot.

+1...I had to double check to make sure that was actually from last year...My god...

[erik316wttn]

Byrnes grounds to Aram. Inning over. Lilly looking very sharp.

[E.J.]

Lilly is pitching fantastic today. Too bad the offense blows.

[JonnyRed]

It's nice to see Lilly giving us another solid performance today, especially with us going up against Haren. Now, let's get a couple of runs and put Lilly in line for a W.

No surprise: good pitching staff shuts down Cubs

 

Good surprise: Ted Lilly shuts down good offense

 

A close loss today is pretty far from a bad thing

I remember Lou describing it as his "contact lineup" at the time

[Outshined_One]

I'm still concerned about Lilly's velocity (hasn't hit 90 today), but if he keeps pitching like this, I won't complain.

Wow.

 

Soriano

Theriot

Fontenot

Ramirez

Jones

Pagan

Moore

Kendall

 

I remember watching that game but I don't remember having a lineup that nightmarish. That was when the Cubs were on fire too.

It was the game that turned Jacques season around.

[Butterscup1679666578]

jesus.

[erik316wttn]

Fukudome K's.

 

Hard to see the ball with your head that far up your butt.

[Andy]

Ugh. Kosuke has just plain been terrible lately.

[erik316wttn]

Soto K's looking.

[inari]

I can't be the only one that's really worried about Fukudome.

[E.J.]

We have no chance today.

[Outshined_One]

Damnit, that's a hell of an outside corner.

[bcruise]

Readying cap for tipping...

[17 Seconds]

Fun fact- FUkudome has just 1 walk in his last 10 games.
