8/10 Cardinals (Carpenter) @ Cubs (Dempster) 7:05pm ESPN

[Soul]

CUBS are 63-37 when they hit at least 1 double.... 6-10 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

We have, indeed, doubled a bunch this year.

[illiniguy]

Edmonds with the best ab of the game thus far for us.

[Soul]

At least he's making him work.

[hawkeyecub]

4 pitches, 2 outs.

 

5 bucks says Carp's out of this by the 6th pitch.

 

I don't understand the aggressiveness against a pitcher who is 2 starts removed (before tonight) from getting off the DL. IDK who's gameplan this was, but it is stupid. The Cubs need to make Carpenter throw atleast 4 pitches per batter, not 2.

This offense seems to be much more of a feast or famine type than they were in the first half. Much more reminiscent of 07 than of this season's unbeatables.

 

Check P/PA second half vs. first half.

 

What are they?

 

How many hands do I have ??? :wink:

 

Oh I took your statement as if you were saying that you had the numbers there was quite a difference (or little difference).

[Careless]

So Edmonds has seen more pitches this AB than the cubs have seen in entire innings?

[WTFCUBS]

Respect the Jimmy.

[haubrich91]

Edmonds is having a great night so far.

[SouthSideRyan]

Edmonds with the best ab of the game thus far for us.

 

I think he doubled his pitch count.

[CubmanPi]

Ballgame with the walk. I'm all about some DeRo 2-run double sexiness right here.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Edmonds walked

Yeap.

[BCVM22]

Auuuuuugh.

[CubmanPi]

This feels like a stupid thing to say, but I'd feel better about this game if the Cubs' other scoreless innings were more like that one.

[rawaction]

Shouldn't have been throwing it close to Edmonds anyway w/ 2 outs and 1B open.

[Fred Hornkohl]

It's only a matter of time before they plate a couple. I hate when we waste RISP opps like this.

i swear, we are the slowest team going down the line that i've ever seen. an opposing team can have a birthday party for their pet monkey and then throw us out.

Fred, pull up some stat that says we're guaranteed to win this one. 1 run lead is making me too nervous ;)

[BCVM22]

David Eckstein could be playing third base, bobble the ball and still throw us out.

After having Juan Pierre running fast for a year, I can handle this.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis grounded out to second, 4-3

we're not hitting and haven't hit all series. i hope we hit soon, because we look bad.
