7/12 Game 1 Cardinals (Lohse) @ Cubs (Z!) 12:05 PM WGN

[dew1679666265]

IMHO, our rotation is very similar to the Dodgers. We have a lot of solid guys who will keep you in the game every time, but no bonified ace.

 

I can generally agree with this. Lilly has been ace-like this year, though.

 

And if Z's not an ace, he's certainly a slugger. :D

Fukudome grounded out to first, unassisted

wish we'd stop hitting rockets right to pujols.

It's a good strategy. Wear him down so he's tired for the second game tonight. :wink:

Fred, why do you do that? Can I get an explanation? Are images and gifs now banned on this website? I really don't appreciate it.

[Friendly Confines]

I sure hope this was supposed to be an odd duo of a large cat and mickey mouse-styled character lying sideways.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 18-7 when they hit at least 2 HRs.... 24-35 when they don't

CUBS are 15-8 when their pitcher gets a hit.... 27-34 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Yes it was. But there are some Captain No-Fun's around here.

I will PM you later.

[Careless]

Angel hernandez is not good at this umpiring thing

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rasmus struck out swinging

 

 

(Jud Sirrott thinks Angel Hernandez is still behind home plate)

let me guess....people with slow connections, yada yada. My response would be that they can turn off images in their User Control Panels. I've done it many times before when I am using my phone or something to refresh this thread.

[Outshined_One]

That...worked?

[Keener98]

Wow unreal. Thanks for being stupid Pujols

[Cynosure]

JEFF BAKER

[Little Slide Rooter]

That was lucky.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Hustle gone wrong.

[genbar]

Oh geez. That could have potentially really sucked.

[Outshined_One]

That was a decidedly unexpected 1-2-3.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Impressive, Z pitches his best inning through the meat of the order. Hopefully we can make it to the 8th before we have to see those 3 again.
