Pujols HR, 8-4 Cardinals

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Why did he slide?

 

He took a handful of his college buddies, used a hand-timed stopwatch and bad scientific method, and thus proved that sliding is faster.

[CubsGM]

Hold them here. Soriano comes up in the 9th.

[TysonCBulls423]

DeRosa costs himself an infield single with a stupid slide. I hope he hurt himself.[/quote]

 

 

I hope you don't get your wish.

[BigSlick]

I'm frustrated and confused so I'll go default and blame Lou Piniella

[laurens]

Beat me to it :wink:

[CubsGM]

Come on Marmol

[UMFan83]

If Marte stays in...Jim Edmonds walkoff?

[Outshined_One]

Wow, that was a hell of a play by Marte, in all fairness.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Leverage index 2.35, Marmol in.

 

I'm KyleJRM, and I approve this Marmol appearance.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch (7th), Fontenot in at 2b (9th)

[TysonCBulls423]

Come on Marmolicious

[Keener98]

Well we better win it in the 9th or 10th, because if we dont its Chad Fox time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Michaels called out on strikes

[Schwarber Fan]

If Marte stays in...Jim Edmonds walkoff?

 

Fontenot's batting 2nd in the bottom half I believe

[TruffleShuffle]

pirates announcers have quite the boner for marmol

 

for good reason

 

good Lord that slider is scary good

[UMFan83]

If Marte stays in...Jim Edmonds walkoff?

 

I meant if Marte leaves....Jim Edmonds should be hitting for Reed

[Fred Hornkohl]

Sanchez grounded an IF single to shortstop
