5/10 Snakes (Scherzer) @ Cubs(Dempster) 2:40PM Fox

Lou is starting to wear on me. This is too Dusty-esque. As you can tell by the name, I'm a drinker, but did Lou do this type of stuff last year? Like announcing Daryl Ward, then bringing in Cedeno to pinch hit?

 

Yes.

 

Brewers have the bases loaded with only 1 out in the bottom of the 8th.

[rawaction]

bases loaded 1 out for Kendall in the bottom of 8 in Milwaukee.

[JimSorgi]

Cubs win! We sure have won a lot of games in series we're supposed to get swept in.

[splintersag]

Good win, besides the Marmol part.

 

Isn't this something like the 2nd win trailing after the 6th inning. 2nd after the Colorado game. I'm probably missing a couple.

[illiniguy]

Yost calls for a squeeze. Kendall misses and Hall is tagged out. They don't score. God bless Ned Yost.

Is that what happened? Gameday just says Hall out at home. I assumed it was a wild pitch ala Fontenot. I doubted the awesomeness of Yost.

[TruffleShuffle]

haha wtg neddy!

[splintersag]

Oh dear, how I hate Ned Yost.

 

Unless of course the Brewers get back in the division race. Then I love Ned Yost :D

Yeah and the broadcasters, who are the Brewers guys are just dumbfounded.

Kendall missed the sign. He didn't even attempt to bunt at it.

[rawaction]

I've heard Larussa's reasoning of hitting the P 8th, but have yet to hear Yost's.

So who is everyone rooting for between the Cards and Brew Crew? I mean you want the Cards to lose so we can get a share of first place, but over the course of a season I think the Brewers will be the better team. Personally, I'm just rooting for a 26 inning game that blows out both bullpens.

[Flames24Rulz]

Two on and nobody out for the Cardinals. Eric Gagne sucks.

Cards. I know they will not keep this up.

[Careless]

and the reds are on pace for 63 wins

[inari]

I'm still not sure who to root for in this series. Personally, I'd rather be in a pennant race with the Cardinals because it would be even more satisfying to see them blow it.

[illiniguy]

I am betting Yost doesn't finish the month.

Brewers, although I like your scenario too.

Brewers. I know the Cards will not keep this up.

 

So wouldn't you be rooting for the Cardinals then? If they end up sucking later in the year, wouldn't a win here be meaningless for the Cubs by September?

#-o Yeah that's what I meant.

he singles in two.

[inari]

Christ, Gagne is terrible.

[splintersag]

Darn you Eric Gange.

[TruffleShuffle]

personally i am happy that the cardinals are winning, but mildly annoyed that the rally was brought about by their usual parade of should-be-mediocre players.
