Please be good Rich

Rich, pitching as he's been pitching, against Albert.

I'll be bracing for impact.

Theres no reason for Albert to see a pitch unless we have at least a 5 run lead, which isnt likely.

BigSlick · July 9, 2009

I am not looking forward to this series. In fact I may just ignore the Cubs until the 2nd half.

You might want to just push that up to 2010

Oh, they're pitching to him. They aren't going to walk him every time, reasonable or not reasonable.

Are you sure its Thompson starting? Ive seen it a couple places that Carp is starting.

Carp is scheduled to start Saturday vs. Lilly.

Not according to the Trib

Extra innings: The matchups for the first two games of the Cubs-Cardinals showdown are Rich Harden vs. Chris Carpenter Friday and Ted Lilly vs. Brad Thompson Saturday. Adam Wainwright and Kyle Lohse will pitch in Sunday's day-night doubleheader, though the order was not announced. Randy Wells pitches Game 1, with Zambrano going in the nightcap.

Trib probably used the ESPN listings which has Carpenter pitching Friday.

I've found that the MLB.com starting pitcher matchups tend to be a lot more accurate and they have Thompson going on Friday Carpenter on Saturday. Not saying that it's for sure correct, this is just something I've noticed.

Yea I just figured since Carp would be on regular rest that LaRussa may want to start him in the opener and try getting that 1st win of the series. Who knows.

This is a pretty cool video because you can hear Soriano hitting a home run in the background and I'm 50-50 on him ever hitting another one again

reminiscing on better days :P

ESPN1000 just reported the pitching matchup tomorrow as Harden vs. Carp in one of their updates. Who knows?

apete6 · July 9, 2009

If we don't win the Lilly-Thompson matchup, it stands a decent chance of a sweep for the Cards. F me.

Little Slide Rooter · July 9, 2009

Id rather have Carp go against Harden so we can immediately chalk it up as a loss but have the clear advantage in the rest of the matchups, unless they manage to aquire Halladay in the next few days, but with the Cubs offense, you never know.

The consensus now seems to be Carpenter on Friday and Thompson on Saturday - the Cardinals' MLB.com site has changed their matchups now.

RammyFanny · July 9, 2009

ESPN 1000 guy talked with Lou and Lou apparently said we will be going Lee/Rammy/Soriano 3,4,5 soon.

Little Slide Rooter · July 9, 2009

ESPN 1000 guy talked with Lou and Lou apparently said we will be going Lee/Rammy/Soriano 3,4,5 soon.

Id have to assume that Bradley would be 6th, so its at least worth it to see if batting between Ramirez and Bradley could be beneficial to Soriano.

Bradley could well bat 2nd.

I'd rather have him bat 2nd than 6th. He's putting up a decent OBP.

str8carter · July 9, 2009

I'm really hyped about our upcoming series....It felt really good to take the Brews 2 of 3. You guys are playing better and WE had a major breakthru today....it was the 1st time all year that the 2 black holes of baseball were not in the lineup!

That's right, Dunkiel sat! Brewers are in a swoon, and played awful these 3 games. It's gonna be the Cards and Cubs for this division!

BTW....Ludwick seems to be back to speed. A HUGE plus. (but so is Lee)

See yall tomorro. ;)

Their postgame just said it's Carpenter.

12 = my over/under for runs scored by the Cubs this series... What say you: over or under?

I agree.

Anyone think there's even the remote possibility that Harden' actually, for a change, effective and the Cubs win?

Yes. I keep faith in Harden.
