[brinoch]

[TMan92]

That sucked. What is wrong with our stupid bullpen.

[inari]

Um... whoa.

[Guest]

Oh thank goodness.

 

CUBS WIN!!

[rawaction]

thank god!

Clearly Marmol went to the Ryan Dempster school of closing.

 

Seriously, good thing he got out of his own mess, but the fact that he walked 3 guys and almost a 4th suggests that this is in fact not old Marmol.

 

Now Im going to go wait for my heart to start beating again.

Boos in St. Louis as they go to the bottom of the 9th.

THE BEST FANS IN BASEBALL!!!!!!

Ryan Franklin will have given up 3 GW HRs to the Brewers (if Cardinals don't come back and lose tonight) in this 4-game series.

 

Might be time to get Izzy back in the closer's role??? :lol:

But I thought the BFiB never booed?

Cards loss isn't that bad. Will gain a game in the playoff race.

Apparently, when you blow late inning leads in 3 consecutive games, even the BFiB boo.

This game is over Let's take the Cards/Brewers talk to the other game thread.

[DiamondMind]

everyone that can, be sure to switch over to FSN Midwest right now :twisted:

[UMFan83]

I've been following the Cardinals all year. That said, I can already tell you that someone like Skip Schumaker is going to hit a walkoff home run. Oh wait, that doesn't happen when you want the Cardinals to win.

[CubsBears29]

So much for the Brewer's pen being one of the worst in baseball right about now... 8 wins in a row now?? Only 2 of those were CGs by the starter (Sabathia).

Eh. I thinks is more of the cardinals bullpen sucking.

[CubsBears29]

Game.

 

Sweep by MIL in StL.

 

Still just a 1.0 game lead for the Cubs.

:lol: Lou told the reporter that asked him who would close tomorrow... "You will" (in reference to the reporter)

[Brian]

Shark broke the news on his blog :lol:

 

...well that's what CSN said but I don't see it. They did say they got confirmation from the Cubs though.

I bet it started with the word "Look!"

[chuckywang]

Apparently right before DeRosa's great catch, Reed Johnson leaned his head to the right a little bit to indicate he was getting tired due to the long inning. But DeRosa took it to mean that he should move to his right a couple of steps.

 

Worked out pretty well.
