Re: 4/26 Cobs (Harden) @ St. Louis (Wellemeyer) 1:15 CDT, WGN

[JimSorgi]

Well, the season's basically over. They're simply playing for pride at this point.

 

Rich Harden

http://www.dobberbaseball.com/dobberpics/HardenWrappedSI2.jpg

(1-1) 4.20 ERA, 1.27 WHIP

 

vs.

 

Todd Wellemeyer

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/52/526266m.jpg

(1-1) 5.29 ERA, 1.94 WHIP

 

 

All the magic or pixie dust(get it?) in the world couldn't save the Cobs at this point, but there is one man who can.

GO COBS!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

My expectations can't really get any lower... go Cubs

[erik316wttn]

Meh.

 

I'll watch, but I won't be shocked at all with a loss.

[Little Slide Rooter]

At least we wont have to suffer the humiliation of being shut down by Joel Pinearo. Being shut down by Wellemeyer wont be much better, but a slight step up.

[gflore34]

I know Lee has the whipping boy but, I wouldn't mind seeing Hoff get a start at 1b for this game.

[tfarks]

I'm going to watch this out of morbid curiosity.

[Cubswin11]

Any word if Pujols' HR ball landed yet?

[UMFan83]

With the Cardinals playing as well as they are, I'll take a split of the 6 games. We'll make up the other games later in the season. Go Cubs!

[Andy]

I'm sick to death of this team, but because I'm a fan, I'm watching. At least flipping back and forth from the Bulls game.

 

Sigh.

Brian Barden's OPS - 1.228

 

Derrek Lee and Milton Bradley's OPS combined - 1.019

 

Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Marmol - injured

 

Albert Pujols - never seriously injured or slumping in his entire baseball career

[UMFan83]

Brian Barden's OPS - 1.228

 

Derrek Lee and Milton Bradley's OPS combined - 1.019

 

Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Marmol - injured

 

Albert Pujols - never seriously injured or slumping in his entire baseball career

 

You do realize his last 2 seasons he had a really bad elbow injury that allowed him to play but not at 100%? His numbers may have been even better the last 2 years had he been 100%, especially the power numbers. And he missed like 4 weeks in 2007 with an oblique injury and 2 weeks last year with an injury I forgot.

I know about the elbow injury but if you can still play and be unstoppable through an injury, then that's clearly not serious enough an injury.

Hey Cubs, remember this thing you used to do? I think it was called winning. Why don't you try that again? Edited April 26, 2009 by otis89

I loved how we heard about Pujols' elbow being potentially season ending yet, he puts up MVP numbers, what a load of BS.

Hey Cubs, remember this thing you used to? I think it was called winning. Why don't you try that again?

 

what is this "winning" you speak of?

 

Something good teams do. As I recall, the Cubs, back before they were the Cobs used to do a lot of it, primarily in 2008 between April-September.

[Derwood]

It's going to be sunny and 82 degrees here today. Wasting my time watching the Bulls and Cubs lose doesn't seem like a great option compared to being outside.

Over the last 4 games, the CUBS power has totally disappeared. No home runs in 4 games. Also gone is their patience at the plate; IsoD = 0.038 and BB/9 = 1.50. Four consecutive quality starts by CUBS pitchers (they've actually had 5 in a row, but we're talking about the last 4 games) have been completely wasted by an offense that has scored 6 runs (only 1 ER !!) in 4 games.
