September 11: Cubs (Harden) at Cards(Wellemeyer) 7:15 CT,CSN

[weis21]

2008 Houston Astros = 2007 Colorado Rockies

 

:-#

Except for the fact that the 2008 astros won't make the playoffs.

 

I'm sick and tired of hearing about the great moves to get Hawkins and Wolf.

 

You do realize the Astros are only three games out in the wild card, right?

Yep.

 

Still take the 94% chance they won't make the playoffs though.

[gflore34]

Anyone else think Lee should be benched for a while or, at least, moved down in the order?

That idea has never ever been discussed here. Ever. You are the first to think of this. No, really.

 

I know it has, it's just Lee' act of hitting the weakest of dribblers with RISP is growing extremely tiresome.

[Soul]

struggle struggle struggle

 

press press press

[Schwarber Fan]

Strike zone... wow once again

[Cynosure]

Fontenot Ks like Soriano...

 

Man on 1st, 2 outs.

[Hall7810]

Strike zone... wow once again

 

Yeah, that 1-1 pitch wasn't a strike.

[gflore34]

This is pathetic Springer' literally throwing the same pitch time and time again and the Cubs can't touch him.

[cubscausestress]

that curveball is at the eyes when it crosses the plate

Yet Piniella won't move his "franchise" out of the 3 spot, unless Derrek goes to Lou and says he needs to move for the 3 spot. Until then, "Mr. GIDP" will hit third, for better or for worse.

[Cynosure]

Soto flies out to the wall... gahhhh!!!

 

INNING OVER

 

Cubs 3-2

[Hall7810]

WTP

[Schwarber Fan]

All I can do is sigh

 

cmon Marmol

[Ski]

If we can get past the 8th I'll feel a lot better about this game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We'll see if the pen can bail out the lifeless shell of our once mighty offense.

[Hall7810]

The amazing thing is, outside of April, DLee hasn't OPSed above .800 in any month.

[Cynosure]

Marmol in to pitch for the Cubs.

Probably for worse, it's getting to the point where the opposition probably relaxes when Lee comes up with RISP because they know he hasn't a chance.

They underestimated his weak ground out to 3rd prowess in this one.

[TMan92]

Wow. Astros are seven game better than their X-W/L

[17 Seconds]

0-2... no strikes

The manager on the other side of town recently said that Lee is the most complete player in the city. That can't help.

[Brian]

not good at all

[Cynosure]

Miles singles up the middle (kind of).

 

Man on 1st, no outs.

[UMFan83]

Not good.

[Cynosure]

Please Marmol, become good... fast.
