6/10 Braves (Glavine) @ Cubs (Lilly) 7:05 WGN & WGN Radio

[TruffleShuffle]

Pujols was just helped off the field. appears to be an injured ankle. I caught it as they were helping him off the field.

 

good thing they have a second albert pujols in their lineup.

[weatherdood]

Soriano looked good on that one

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Babe Ludwick just homered to center. His 15th.

 

he's on pace for 40 homers and his OPS is over 1.000

 

such bull crap

 

Two seasons ago, Geovany Soto had never posted an OPS better than .750 in the minors.

 

We get our share, too.

 

You want me to name 6 other players?

 

Theriot?

 

Sosa.

[BigSlick]

That breaking ball was crushed, good job Soriano

[haubrich91]

Quad looked healthy there. Nice jump by Sori.

Crap! That's going to be the beginning of a long Cardinals winning streak.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Lilly hung that one...we're lucky Norton didn't get all of it.

[weatherdood]

Another quick inning here would be tremendously beneficial. Lilly's 2/3 of the way there

He's a 25 year old catching prospect.

 

Ludwick's a 29 year old outfielder with more than a full season's worth of playing time spanning 5 seasons.

soto is a catcher who developed into a good hitter in his mid 20s. those come along a lot more frequently than guys who turn into miguel cabrera at age 30 after spending their 20s as AAAA hitters.

[weatherdood]

REED!

[Ski]

What is with Johnson today?

[bcl412]

Nice catch

[InconspicuousZ28]

Great catch by Reed out there.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Pretty nifty catch there!

=D>

[Careless]

Well, Reed isn't afraid of walls. nice catch

[BigSlick]

2 more smoked balls by Lilly

 

come on, I liked you better when you were missing bats, I'll still take it

[Transmogrified Tiger]

hahaha, what a terrible angle Johnson took to that ball

[Mark_R]

That was a helluva catch. Lets tack on two or three more here.

[17 Seconds]

Babe Ludwick just homered to center. His 15th.

 

To go with two doubles.

 

He's not going away.

 

That's the second time you've said that.

 

Over his last 17 games-

 

.219/.282/.375

 

Dude just won't go away!

[weatherdood]

Lilly's now at 57 pitches through 4.

 

Can't complain too much about that.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Johnson and Edmonds may not be the offensive force of the Cubs, but theyve both made some amazing plays in center.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

 

Theriot?

 

Sosa.

 

Lee's 2005

 

Ryan Dempster.

 

Aramis Ramirez was coming off a 74 OPS+ when he came here.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Johnson and Edmonds may not be the offensive force of the Cubs, but theyve both made some amazing plays in center.

 

They are both very good at making plays on the edge of their limited range.
