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

FYI: There is some thinking that if rain delays are emminent that Thompson will start and Carp will go tomorro....congrats on having Ankiel smack dab in the middle of the lineup. That will be 4 innings in the game where you only have to get 2 outs!

[pitchcs]

They will probably just wait for the rain to stop then start a tad late...I'm thinking no later than 2:00??

Could you please stop posting in bold? It's really annoying.

 

Oh, and I'm sure Harden will leave a fastball up that Ankiel can knock out of Wrigley.

If it makes you feel any better your team is made up of crap and Pujols, yet once again you are playing way over your heads.

It's coming down pretty well here in Forest Park.

This one may go late tonight...

 

I hope Carp switches with Thompson. I'd love to see him go against Lilly tomorrow. Good Baseball.

Why would they chance it with Carp? I hate saying this, but I met him when he came through KC this year and seemed like just a great guy.

[E.J.]

Haha. I was listening to WGN radio a little while ago and they were talking about how the Steve Stone Playgirl pics had shown up on the Internet recently. They must be looking at our game threads.

Another semi-cool day with rain... When does summer start?

What would make me feel better would be if Dunkiel was traded to the Cubs for Miles and a bag of balls.

I'd take that deal.

Corrected.

Where do I sign?

Corrected.

 

DeRosa is out for a long while

[Andy]

Keith Moreland sounds unnervingly like a cross between Tim McCarver and Darrell Waltrip in the booth.

I know. But he's still on the team.

Thought it was McCarver from the other room

Tarp is coming off

[Careless]

Looks like the second piece of the storm will just barely go south of Wrigley

Today's umpiring crew is a real mish-mash.......

 

HP: Lance Barksdale (from Randy Marsh's crew)

1b: Angel Hernandez (from Tim Welke's crew)

2b: Dan Bellino (AAA callup)

3b: Marvin Hudson (from John Hirschbeck's crew)

 

There is no real crew chief here. In addition, we just saw Welke's crew in the Milwaukee series, but without Hernandez..... and we saw Hirschbeck's crew in the series before that (Pittsburgh), but without Hudson. It could be that they've realigned some of the crews; that's not unheard of.

 

CUBS are 4-2 with Randy Marsh's crew on the field this year...

There's nothing like rain delay theater of vintage baseball highlights.
