8/8 Cardinals (Looper) @ Cubs (Lilly) - 1:20 CSN

[bcl412]

I hope the Nationals can stay at 25 games back after tonight.

Seriously, has Blanco ever had a walk off hit before?

 

I think in 2006 when Hank was a force, with the bat, with the likes of Boom Boom Bynum, Neifi, and Beltran Jr? LOL

[swordsman]

Yes. Nice job, boys. Get some sleep and come back ready to play tomorrow.

[Guest]

p.s. no more plesac ever plz

 

I'm just listening to the video highlights on Gameday and even in such a short burst, you could tell how horrid Pleasac is.

[cubs1908-2008]

a question, how do they give wins to players? I've been questioning that some days because of the BS and W at the same time of Howry 2 days ago.

 

thanks

i'm too lazy to explain

Lou just mentioned Wood wasn't available because his back is bothering him. Said not sure on status for tomorrow. Great.

It wouldn't be a complete season without a pair of DL stints for Wood.

[chuckywang]

Remember when the Cubs making outs at the plate were costing them games? How sweet it is to be on the other side of that coin.

I'm not worried about that though. He's had back issues for awhile. Usually keeps him out a couple days. He'll be alright.

[MasterBlaster]

We won the game under these circumstances:

 

-2 HRs by Jim Edmonds as a Cub

-Scoreless inning by Howry 2 Ks

-Walkoff hit by Henry Blanco

 

Icing on the cake = Ludwick 0'fer

Yeah, I did that too. He LOVES to hear himself talk.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Magic number ---> 42.

[weatherdood]

It's August 8th and the Cubs have 70 wins. :D :D :D

[otis89]

Magic number ---> 42.

 

Magic number for clinching a playoff spot ---> 39.

[Outshined_One]

Fear the early 90's mullet. Cards get to experience having a crappy hitter beat them.

 

Neifi Perez's grand slam would like to have a word with you about that.

[Andy]

Jimmy hitting two homers and Henry effing Blanco with the walk-off hit, against the Cardinals = sweet.

 

I'd love to see them try to beat Z tomorrow. He completely owns the Cardinals. Dempster after. It's looking mighty fine.

 

:D

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but a lot of things went right for us to win today. The failed squeeze, the out at home by Soriano, Howry actually being good...

 

Overall though, it was a great game, made even better by the fact that it was the Cardinals.

LaRussa's idiocy had a lot to do with it, I would classify that less as 'things going right' than 'the Cardinals have an extremely sketchy in-game manager'

Jim Edmonds and Henry Blanco deliver:

[Ski]

After watching Blanco's walkoff single, I can't believe that wasn't caught. That looked like a line drive off the bat.

[kujay]

Holy crap that game was aesome jus got home from bar watching with Cards fans. Jiimmy, I lofve you now. Hank, much man respect!

 

I'm totrally serious, big win today. Cards r toast.
