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

[Faceman]

For some reason when the Cubs played the previous 2 series in St. Louis, I wasn't that worried, but in this series at Wrigley I am actually kinda nervous.

 

Don't know if its because its August or if because I fear the Cardinals more because they are still in this race when previously I expected them to fade

 

I think it's because on the road, you are hoping to win. At home, you are expecting to win. Win 2 of 3 at home is mandatory. Win 2 of 3 on road is a luxury.

Ugh, I'm stuck with FSN Midwest today

 

Did they already talk about Ludwick winning the MVP?

Man...Riot is slowing killing himself.

That definitely makes sense. Ouch Ryan.

Theriot's deal with the devil apparently expired a few days ago

[PrimeTime]

I feel bad for Ryan, but its kinda funny seeing him on the ground every time you see him

I dunno, I missed the top half of the first. Hrabosky is brutal. McLaughlin is okay, but he annoys me at times with his "Cardinals need a double play", every single time there's a runner on base.

[haubrich91]

Lee getting on board, nice.

My favorite Hungo moment was a few years ago when he made some remark to the effect that God wants the Cardinals to win. I know it seems that way sometimes, but...

That isn't a strike. This is Chicago.

[cubweiser03]

haha the 3-1 pitch to aram sucked and then hits the next pitch through the shift.

[bcruise]

Gameday shows strike 2 to Rammy in the other batter's box. Looked similar on TV.

[Sammy Sofa]

Plesac...please...shut up.

[Careless]

21 pitches

[kujay]

Bleep. We need something from Kosuke down the stretch.

No kidding. Seems like it's been especially quiet for all the day games this week. Maybe vacations or something. Or people with more of a life than me.

[tenritsu]

Cardinals go a bit bat happy.

[illiniguy]

Why can't we hit this bum?
