Re: 5/19: Cubs (Lilly) at Cardinals (Pineiro): In play: Out(s)

[Little Slide Rooter]

Reed Johnson has a big, huge knob.

[UMFan83]

There'd be days like this my mama said.

 

Hopefully we can bounce back tomorrow.

 

I expect a fake rally in the 9th.

[Bixby]

Was anyone else kinda hoping Gregg would give up 5 runs there just so Lou would take him out of the closers role?

 

Kinda?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Feels like more of a roll over type of game.

[NotSoSober]

Miles is just terrible.

[BigSlick]

is this the place where i can vainly complain about how pathetic the Cubs offense has looked today?

[DiamondMind]

Sigh.

[TruffleShuffle]

Yeah, everything they swung at was right down the middle.

 

no but most of his pitches have been strikes, especially 1st/2nd pitches, and once you're down 0-2 you're in a big hole. the guy has walked 7 batters in 53 innings of work this year; you're not going to beat him by waiting for 3-1 counts and drawing walks. there were hittable pitches but nobody hit them.

[Shilzzz]

Does this game really need 10 pages?

[BigSlick]

i dont like tipping my cap to bad pitchers, argh pixie dust blah blah blah

 

i hate the cardinals so much

[BCVM22]

Haha how else could it have possibly ended

[TruffleShuffle]

Haha how else could it have possibly ended

 

ground out would have been more appropriate.

[Bixby]

92

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ill feel better when Chris Carpenter is being helped off the field in the 3rd tomorrow.

[Mark Priors Calves]

that was a pretty sad showing.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Eh, we still have the wild card lead by percentage points. Considering the 2005 White Sox...I mean the Brewers are never going to lose again, were going to need it.

[AlwaysaCub]

Why did we sign Aaron Miles? He is a walking ground ball to short.

[InconspicuousZ28]

This game was slated to go until 10pm. Ended up taking about right at 2 hours.

[TruffleShuffle]

Why did we sign Aaron Miles? He is a walking ground ball to short.

 

my question is why he keeps playing when scales has been hitting well since he came up.

[BCVM22]

I hope the devil collects on his deal with Tony LaRussa sooner rather than later.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Between Carpenter, Wainwright, and then 3 games at PetCo, we may not see much offense until next week.

[TruffleShuffle]

I hope the devil collects on his deal with Tony LaRussa sooner rather than later.

 

i hope dave duncan develops amnesia.

[Schwarber Fan]

Freel must still be hurt

[CubbieBum]

I think Andy needs to be banned from starting game threads. We always lose when he does.
