7/12 Game 2 Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Wells) 7:05 ESPN

Dont look now but Milton is starting to swing it.

[Tryptamine]

At least Milton is getting it done.

[witty alias]

Just keep pitching to Ludwick and Pujols even though they have nobody behind them.

 

well rasmus keeps getting on base; i'm not sure it's a great idea to walk two guys in a row and intentionally load the bases even if ankiel and yadi suck ass.

 

I think both of Ludwick's HRs have come with first base open. There was no reason to throw him an 88 MPH fastball down the middle.

[BCVM22]

Ramirez was really booking there.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Good thing we have Jeff Baker coming up, and Koyie Hill is he gets on.

[CHCinIC]

Nice hit Milton. We aren't done just yet

[samhainn77]

Great stroke there, hopefully a good sign.

[chuckywang]

Fontenot PH???

[Cynosure]

4-2!!!!

Uhhh... I think anything less than 5 games over .500 is a HUGE disappointment for this team.

 

We've had our full team like once or twice this year and Aramis still isn't hitting and Soriano's can't be 100% with his knee either.

 

No team is ever really 100%, to be fair.

 

But how many teams lose their best player for 1.5 months?

 

[cough]LOS ANGELES DODGERS[/COUGH]

 

So 1? (And the thread of this conversation was about injuries, Manny Ramirez didn't get hurt for 50 games.)

[Cynosure]

Baker bomb!

[OleMissCub]

sorry Fred

Is it too soon to trade Jeff Baker for another non-prospect PTBNL?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yeah, we really need a 2nd baseman.

[Butterscup1679666578]

swing ass.

[BCVM22]

9 outs to get 2 runs. Can they do it?

[Keener98]

Impressive [expletive] at bat Baker, Jesus Christ.

[samhainn77]

Unimpressive, Baker.

[Cubswin11]

Everyone say it with me DFA

Did you say injury? No... you said "lose their best player".

[TruffleShuffle]

i think jeff baker is worse than fontenot, if that's possible.

[OleMissCub]

damn good Bud commercial there

[samhainn77]

Only if Wellemeyer throws. :beg:

[Little Slide Rooter]

Freel, Fontenot, Baker, Scales, Miles, its all the same. Worthless City.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Yes and yes.
