How does anyone, ever enjoy playing for a guy like LaRussa?

[CubsGM]

Thanks for the help Schumaker. :thumbsup:

[Bruno7481]

This would be a good inning to get the lead back considering where St. Louis is in their order.

great job cotts.

 

looks like marmol will pitch next inning...

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-5 when they're tied at the end of the 7th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[SouthSideRyan]

A mentally fragile guy probably would have given up more than 2 there.

 

Maybe, maybe not.

 

Still doesn't sway my opinion of his mental approach to the game.

 

Nameless whispers aren't going to change mine.

 

Of course not, it also includes a topic most on this board choose to ignore or refuse plays a role in the game.

 

I hope you don't lump me in with that. I certainly recognize the major role scouting plays in the game from minors through the majors, and that mental makeup is a part of that. I just happen to be one who thinks most of those with the poor makeup are those that are weeded out by the time they hit the majors.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Franklin in to pitch for St. Louis

[UMFan83]

Franklin in? Is Izzy back to closing again?

[Sammy Sofa]

Now is a key time for Aramis and Edmonds to actually contribute in this series.

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee doubled to down the left field line

[Sammy Sofa]

Now is a key time for Aramis and Edmonds to actually contribute in this series.

 

X a trillion.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I think Aramis is finally going to come through here.

[Sammy Sofa]
