I guess that made up for not pinch runing for Ward.

[Soul]

Oh Bob, you did not just refer to the proverbial "Slam range."

[Guest]

hahahah nice play PU JOLS!

 

Albert couldn't do anything there except maybe grow an extra inch or three.

 

How about actually covering the bag on time?

[CubInOK]

In play, run(s)

 

I'll take it. And the morans at Cox give me the game back.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 24-12 when the opponent commits at least 1 error.... 28-23 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Outshined_One]

He said it rather sarcastically.

[SouthSideRyan]

I can understand throwing too low or too high. But how does a pitcher throw 10 feet wide of the bag from 50 feet away?

[Jon]

Just rewatched the play and it sure looks like Kosuke fouled the ball off of his toes. It's possible it just took a very odd hop right in front of his foot, though.

[ChiCubsfan0502]

But I thought the Cardinals were great and there was no way they weren't going to be in 1st place by the end of the weekend. :rotfl: :rotfl:

 

I also heard that the Cubs would be 5 games back by the All-star break. :mrgreen:

I didn't notice that part of the replay, my bad. I was only looking at the actual throw once he was on the base.

Granted, it's tough on an old Spanish-American war veteran like Pujols.

If the Cubs hold on, the NL part of this road trip hasn't been too bad.

[Keener98]

Ok screw it, if Im the Cardinals I move HGH back to pitcher, and just let him pitch from CF, since he seems to know exactly where the ball is going from there.

It was still a horrid throw. The Pixie dust must have blown away from the stadium before that pitch :mrgreen:

5 back of Milwaukee.

In all fairness I could have thrown out Ward there.

Or he could have not lollygagged to the base and not forced springer to double clutch 9 out of 10 he makes that throw if he doesn't have to double clutch most likely 10 out of 10.
