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

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina grounded out to second, 4-3

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kennedy grounded an IF single to second base

[SouthSideRyan]

Iwamura is a bust??

 

Kosuke is having a year about on par with Hideki Matsui's first season value wise.

[CubmanPi]

I'm surprised Morgan knew that Yost has tried batting the pitcher 8th.

[haubrich91]

Morgan is making my head hurt.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kennedy stole second base

[illiniguy]

Jesus, what was Demp doing there?

[CubmanPi]

Kennedy got a 12-step jump. Fantastic.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have thrown out 18 runners trying to steal in 60 attempts during their last 85 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Mizzou]

How do you not pick him off there? Ridiculous.

[BCVM22]

Ugh. This is going swimmingly so far.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 17-21 when the opponent steals a base.... 52-25 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs need to get their heads out of their asses.

[17 Seconds]

Not feeling good about this game at all.

[CubmanPi]

Pitch count is somewhere around 50-5, right?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Carpenter struck out swinging

[haubrich91]

10 pitches later.

[Rusch33]

He'll get out of this.

[haubrich91]

Nice! 4 Ks for Dempster.

[CubmanPi]

He'll get out of this.

But will he get a chance to catch his breath before he starts pitching the third?

 

Help him out, offense.
