I'm so sick of this crap. If your #2 hitter is too crappy to let him just swing away with no hit and run then put somebody else in there! Bat Fontenot second for all I care.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been caught stealing 3 times in their last 3 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[illiniguy]

I'm surprised that Ottavino has been this good, so far. I thought right about now, he'd be in some trouble.

Me too, nothing good ever happens with your piece of crap rookies coming up. See Hart, Bo or Rod, J.

[TruffleShuffle]

therrible... but hey let's keep putting him at the top of the lineup even though he's gone 3.5 weeks without an extra base hit or a walk.

[JoshiQ]

Alright, Theriot, no double play.

 

You got your wish, although I doubt you were hoping a CS would be the cause.

 

 

I take it back, I take it back!!!

I've always wondered whatever happened to John Rodriguez. He was good for that team for two straight seasons and no one else ever played him in the bigs again. Almost like the other teams know not to take Cards' numbers seriously.

At one point he was in Tampa's minor leagues and doing awful.

Josh.... it wasn't a hit and run, it was a straight steal.

[Guest]

"Eric Ludwick" - Tim McCarver

 

Nice job.

[illiniguy]

Eric Ludwick? Between that and the young Tony story, Tim is on top of his game today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ludwick grounded out to third, 5-3

[Careless]

Joe Morgan looks like a genius after hearing that stretch

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pujols grounded out to short, 6-3

[GlassCow]

Great play by Castro.

[Andy]

Hey illiniguy, I think Castro's managing to keep his hitting slump from affecting his game. :D

"Eric Ludwick" - Tim McCarver

 

Nice job.

 

Eric is Ryan's brother. He was involved in the McGwire trade. Dumb mistake by McCarver.

[Guest]

Castro flashing the leather. Love it.

[illiniguy]

Agreed, I just don't wanna see any excuses for the cajun midget to ever play shortstop for us again.

That's what I get for listening to the Fox announcers. They were pretty sure it was a hit and run, and as bad as that is, I couldn't believe we'd try for another straight steal against Molina.

[Ballgame64]

Stop it with the [expletive] hit and runs Lou, you stupid turd.

I don't have a problem with trying to make something happen, but if it was a hit and run, Theriot is supposed to swing not take the pitch.

[GlassCow]

He also followed up with Ryan Lynquist, which I thought was a nice touch.

[Careless]

Has he always pronounced "Zambrano" like that?
