[Derwood]

please end the Shark experiment

[Maddog31]

So much for Theriot's off-day.

[illiniguy]

and we made our defense worse with that move, thanks lou.

[Andy]

Lou makes our defense worse. Great.

 

Thank you, Grabow!

[Maddog31]

Nice pitch Grabow.

[Sammy Sofa]

So much for Theriot's off-day.

 

Wait...what? Is he in?

[UMFan83]

Samardzija is:

 

A. Not a reliever

B. Not ready for the big leagues

 

so why the [expletive] is he here?

 

$4 mil signing bonus and promises of a quick ascention to majors for quitting football.

[illiniguy]

Remember how Carpenter can't swing really cause he hurt himself doing it? He just doubled.

[Andy]

So much for Theriot's off-day.

 

Wait...what? Is he in?

Yep. At SS. He got all of about half a game off.

[shnsajax]

Our defense doesn't matter when we walk every hitter.

[genbar]

Shark really annoys me.

[Andy]

Remember how Carpenter can't swing really cause he hurt himself doing it? He just doubled.

He's already thrown over 90 pitches and probably shouldn't even be in the game right now, so of course he doubled.

A pitcher getting a hit off a team other than the Cubs. That happens?

He's in the big leagues because Piniella is in love with power relievers and thinks Samardzija is a competent big league power reliever. At this point, they don't give a crap about bonuses and football.

[Andy]

And of course he scores too. 2-1 Pixies.

[E.J.]

Lugo with a sac fly. Cards up 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th.

Of course, because nothing bad ever happens to the Cardinals.

[illiniguy]

We might as well play for the wild card.

[DiamondMind]

Totally beating, punching, and kicking the dead horse here, but for the love of god send shark to Iowa.

They are without a doubt the most unlucky team there is.

True, the Cardinals have an insurmountable divisional lead.

I was joking.

[Andy]

2nd weird hit this week for Fukudome. Can we please score him?

[Maddog31]

I'm surprised that ball didn't go directly to the SS

[DiamondMind]

The 2008 Cubs re-establish a 2 or 3 run lead in this game.
