5/20: Cubs (Demp) at Cards (Carpenter); 7:15 pm CT, CSN/ESPN

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good job Font.

[illiniguy]

He sure is Mark DeRosa ](*,)

[Cubswin11]

So what's up with Freel? Is he still hurt? Fonteont has been struggling bad both offensively and defensively lately. Is it just a matchup thing with the L/R.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 2-10 when they commit one or more errors.... 19-6 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Soul]

Or, font just isn't everyday

[KaiserCesar]

We'll see how long this cold streak lasts for Font. He's still a player with good patience and power, and historically a .270+ hitter on all fronts. I fully expect his average to rebound and for him to be a decent starter. Until then, some time off could be good.

[Cubswin11]

ESPN can lower is alert level now, Arod is back, Big Papi hit a HR, the Red Sox and Yankees are both starting to win. All is good.

[KaiserCesar]

Theriot is Mr. XBH

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey !!! That's 3 hits in the game already and we're only in the 3rd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Cubswin11]

Let's go Lee

[Little Slide Rooter]

Carpenters just a bit too filthy. Hopefully Demp can hang and Carp will be out by the 7th.

[Soul]

I don't know, font's facing more starters now and he's looking overmatched to me

[KaiserCesar]

Yeah, I agree, but he may very well be able to readjust, but patience is running thin.

[illiniguy]

I love how Carp comes back in midseason cy young form.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Cubs look "meh" again tonight... Hoping to get Carp out of there soon & beat up on the Cards bullpen

[gflore34]

Carpenters just a bit too filthy. Hopefully Demp can hang and Carp will be out by the 7th.

 

Maybe, thought strike two to Lee was a hanger and of course, Lee takes it, strike 3, although not a strike, was a hanger.

[PrimeTime]

I knew giving up Dero would bite us in the ass..Fontenot is not an everyday player..Same as last year, had his hot streaks then just sucked.

Bradley hitting would lessen that but, it doesn't appear Bradley' going to hit ever.

[gflore34]

Ryan you were out not...even...close.

[Soul]

Classic "bought high" on bradley

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster bested Carpenter last year.... and he can do it again.

it was pretty close

[BigSlick]

i hate the cardinals

 

i just hate them so much, can we get some runs and get them out for gods sake

[KaiserCesar]

No walks for Dempster thus far, good sign

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-5 when their pitchers average 16 pitches per inning or less.... 8-11 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
