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

[illiniguy]

lol this is getting kinda funny

 

looks like your year guys

I don't know if Carp was rushed back but he did look pretty good in all three starts. 

 

And TLR has nothing on Dusty when it comes to burning arms.

I hope so, but we are the Cubs. I am waiting for the huge injury.

 

I wonder if TLR is hammering the arms this year as a way of saying to the front office, "hey, get me some more talent."

Someone punch the creator of these idiotic commercials.

Man... worst baserunning ever in a 5-run inning? Could be.

6-0, but should be 7-0, with 1 out and a RISP.

 

It better not matter or I'm going to be upset enough to hurt small animals.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS scored 5 runs in an inning.... Wed 06 Aug 08 (8 runs in the 3rd inn) in an 11-4 win over Houston at Wrigley

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[SouthSideRyan]

Atta boy Rockin Ronny! Not mad at him for getting thrown out, now Demp can take care of the 7th and bring in a pinch hitter to start the bottom of the 7th.

 

Beat me to this point. It actually worked out ok. You assume Dempster would come up and make an out. Now you hope Dempster pitches the 7th, then you leadoff with Fontenot next inning as the PH.

[radarluv1]

if cedeno held at 2nd, would lou have let dempster hit?

[badger1679666666]

I take back my hyperbolic comments about cedeno earlier in this thread.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

6-0, but should be 7-0, with 1 out and a RISP.

 

It better not matter or I'm going to be upset enough to hurt small animals.

 

TLR hopes you will not hurt the animals.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Lopez grounded out to short, 6-3

[Soul]

You sure he made that tag? I wouldn't mind seeing another angle on that.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I still don't think Glaus tagged Cedeno.

[UMFan83]

6-0, but should be 7-0, with 1 out and a RISP.

 

If it makes you feel better, it could easily be 2-0, inning over if Kennedy doesn't let a routine GIDP go through the wickets.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis singled to left field

[WTFCUBS]

PC Dempster?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Izturis stole second base

[UMFan83]

I still don't think Glaus tagged Cedeno.

 

 

Upon further review, he didn't I don't think

[badger1679666666]

Good throw, was he really safe?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

when the hell did Izturis suddenly become Rickey Henderson?

[Soul]

I think Demp is gassed.

 

If he doesn't get this guy I'd pull him.

[Have a seat, Neifi]

Good throw by Soto, nonetheless.

[sweetpeteman]

I still don't think Glaus tagged Cedeno.

 

 

He did. He got him near the waist.

[Guancous]

Pat & Ron reported that Carpenter has a right triceps strain.
