4/24 Cardinals (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Samardzija) 7:05 CSN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Stewart, being a good teammate, didn't want to steal LaHair's spotlight.

 

Maybe in extras, though.

 

It's gonna happen Kyle. Ian Stewart will get a hit in a relevant situation.

 

How easily you forget him personally smashing the Cardinals' ring ceremony with his epic 3-run blast.

Tell me why Sveum won't start LaHair against lefties???

 

He's 0 for 5 with 4 K's against LHP, he's not exactly inspiring much confidence to get him time against them.

Except now he has 1 home run against LHP. How many do the rest of the lineup have?

 

In their careers? A lot more.

now that i know Soto is a pot smoker, he is my new favorite player

 

How are you just learning this? It's like just learning that Reed Johnson sucks.

Didn't that story come out like three years ago?

[SouthSideRyan]

What Len's trying to say is if this goes to the 11th you're still out there James.

yes.

[bcl412]

WIN THIS [expletive]!!!!

 

I'm way to pumped up for a game in April which would put the team 6-12 at best.

Nice pitch.

[Brian]

End it now

[SouthSideRyan]

Russell looked pretty dirty that inning.

He lives in Appalachia and got hit in the head with a gun. Cut the guy some slack!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Top of the order coming up for the Cubs, and I'm starting to get a little happy about that. DeJesus is getting on base and Castro is about to become a legend.

To ask the question is to answer it.

[haubrich91]

Seriously, I'm really starting to like Russell. Couldn't stand him last year being a starter.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Just for good measure.............

Campana needs to get on and do gritty fast guy stuff.

I know Baker historically kills lefties, but he hasnt inspired much confidence against them so far this season either. My opinion is to play your better players regardless of what hand the pitcher throws with. And its looking like LaHair might be one of the Cubs better players.

[Geech]

Tony should just not swing and hope he gets walked.

[Schwarber Fan]

Can you imagine if Campana hit a homer here?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Run, Tony, Run !!!!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Is Tony Campana useful in the new, low-offense MLB?

 

(overreacting to a couple of hits, I know)

[bcl412]

Steal three bases for the win.

[Geech]

Fair enough.

[Careless]

Can you imagine if Campana hit a homer here?

Not really

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Can you imagine if Campana hit a homer here?

 

I would be less surprised if he singled then stole second, third, and home on three consecutive pitches, like I used to do on NES baseball games.
