Neal Cotts makes me beyond nervous.

[BCVM22]

I hate the Cardinals so, so, so much.

[bcl412]

Adam Kennedy is a bad person

[Soul]

Come on Cotts you better not blow this.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miles, pinch hitting for Perez, struck out swinging

[Slugger_16]

Man, I am nervous. Feels like the longest game ever.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 32-12 when they get a quality start.... 20-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Yay, 6/23/1984.

[BCVM22]

Man, I am nervous. Feels like the longest game ever.

 

Typical Cubs/Cards tilt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 19-11 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 34-24 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Do blowouts ever happen when these two teams play. I think I remeber a game in 98 where the Cards scored a bajillion runs in the first inning but that's about all I can remember.

There was a series at Wrigley in June 2004 that featured back-to-back blowouts, each team being on the receiving end once. The Cubs have hung a few crooked numbers on the board in St. Louis over the last few years.

Ahh, greats who've been on both teams...Hornsby, Sutter, Smith, Harry Carey...and Jim Edmonds...

Last year, the Saturday game before Hancock did his thing, we won I think 9-1 here. That was a fun day at the ballpark.

[Soul]

Even without Sabathia I think the Brewers are a definite playoff team.

[BCVM22]

Nice work, Cotts!

We were blowing them out the one year up 8 I think and proceeded to lose on Pujols' 3rd bomb.

Nice job Cotts!
