Joplin's not there anymore. Fred finally gets caught making up his locations.

Pushfrog98 · July 30, 2011

I have the misfortune of having tickets to this game. They were a gift from before the season started. I don't want to go, but I have to. #-o

I'm moving today, wanna trade places?

Sammy Sofa · July 30, 2011

Yeah, I have to go work my second job so I can pay my bills this month. Poor baby has to go to a baseball game.

I FIGHT YOU FACE.

Hey Kyle..... don't believe everything you read in the newspaper, ok ??

Keener98 · July 30, 2011

WTF is McCarver talking about? A lot of people expect Castro to move to 3rd when he fills out more? I swear he just makes [expletive] up

imb · July 30, 2011

When I listen to buck and mccarver talk about the cubs organization, all my rationality flies right out the window and i feel like erik

UMFan83 · July 30, 2011

Wow, I just got free tickets to Paul McCartney tomorrow and then I turn on the TV and see the Cubs have scored a weeks worth of runs, wtf is going on.

dfnowak · July 30, 2011

McCarver also said Quade has done a good job this year. Huh?

Keener98 · July 30, 2011

Cubs cant develop young players because of the losing atmosphere within the Cubs organization. I may go crazy listening to these dumb bastards today

I loved hearing McCarver say Castro has "too much range", and that it's a problem because it leads to more errors. What an idiot.

30 minutes in the life of joe buck

*incorrect factoid about the cubs*

*bad joke*

*fawns over some cardinal scrub like skip schumaker*

*talks about football*

I love what he just said. Essentially, "Tony LaRussa is a genius because he moved Skip from 2B to RF, because second basemen aren't used to making long throws, but Skip got an OF assist last night on a long throw." Whut?

XZero771679666304 · July 30, 2011

He's done a good job coping with the Sisyphean task of managing a hopelessly moribund franchise. What more could he do?

"Pujols had homered in his last two previous at-bats including today against Rodrigo Lopez."

imb · July 30, 2011

what a horseshit slide.

Hairyducked Idiot · July 30, 2011

Samardzija looking very athletic out there despite the poor outing. Love them athletes.

imb · July 30, 2011

this is the worst [expletive] team

Bruno7481 · July 30, 2011

While not a huge fan of McCarver, I've read a few things about Castro moving off of SS as he fills out. BP has said it a lot.

By the way, this team is an absolute embarrassment.

Keener98 · July 30, 2011

what a [expletive] slide.

Late as hell. He was already on top of the bag

Bryants Disco Ball · July 30, 2011

Watching yet another performance like this again made me wonder: How in the world can a team like ours not be interested in basically trading any of our players? I understand the whole "well, who do you replace so and so with next year?" thinking, but it just seems embarrassing that we don't really want to move anybody considering how bad our team is.

illiniguy · July 30, 2011

He's right. That's why Tampa bay will never be any good and all their prosepcts like Evan Longoria and David Price are doomed to fail.

NotSoSober · July 30, 2011

Watching this game w/ my brother who is a Cards fan. Usually I'd want to beat the [expletive] out of him, but I can only laugh. Even that idiot McCarver was right when he said that inning summed up the Cubs year

07/30 CUBS (Lopez) @ St. Louis (Lohse) 3:10 CDT, FOX TV
