7/10/09 Cardinals(Carpenter) @ Cubs (Harden) 1:20 PM WGN

[illiniguy]

Moreland said the weirdest thing to me once. I was at the Cubs Convention years ago getting my pic with him and as I walked off he said, "Stay safe." Uh, ok, whatever that means.

 

why is that so weird?

 

Usually it's more like... bye, take care, thanks for coming, go Cubs .... wasn't really concerned about my safety at that point, but I guess you can never be too careful

 

Maybe he's a werewolf and he was giving you a heads up.

Werewolfs are everywhere

Theriot grounded out to first, unassisted

[chuckywang]

It's just not happening this year. Sorry guys.

 

Nostradamus?

 

Trust me, I wish it were otherwise. But I get a much different feeling from this team than the 08 team, and even the 07 team. Just when you thought they were going to shake out of their funk, the next thing you know they are below .500 again. There's just no swagger.

[rynefan]

This is ridiculous. The last two games I missed the first few innings and also missed all the scoring (by the Cubs that is)

[gflore34]

LOL Campbell saying Hossa has made him look silly before, like that's hard to do or something.

[Sammy Sofa]

Is swagger more important than chemistry?

Whereas the Cardinals have the look of a group of Kanye Wests.

[Arnold Layne]

Carps gone, but who cares. Cubs aint scoring 5 against anyone, and whose to say they're done scoring. Maybe the Cards are just the better team. At least the Cubs get to keep their mystique, and cant nobody take that away. If you want championships, go become a Red Sox fan.

 

A healthy Cub team playing to near their abilities blows this Cardinal team away.

 

 

:lol:

Swagger, then chemistry, then grit, then winning (apparently)

[illiniguy]

I personally think that when Michael Jackson died it was too much for the guys.

At least that's true of one player on the Cardinals.

Wait, wait, wait...what's hilarious about what he said? You honestly think this team healthy and the players performing even just close to expected levels would not be a good team?

[PrimeTime]

Why the hell is Jimmy Ballgame still unemployed? Bring him back

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Is swagger more important than chemistry?

 

No, but it's roughly equivalent to grit.

We should be running away with the division, but we are the Cubs. So instead we have everyone crap their bed or get hurt in the same year. It is what it is.

Ankiel popped out to shallow left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS allowed 9 walks in a game.... Sat 09 May 09 (9 BBs) in a 12-6 loss at Milwaukee

 

 

Go CUBS !!
