7/20 Cubs (Dempster) @ Cardinals (Lohse) 7:15 WGN

[soccer10k]

No game thread up yet so figured I would start it.

 

Sounds like Dempster is going to start barring a last-minute trade.

 

Cubs have won 14 of 19 and hopefully that hot streak continues.

 

GO CUBS!

 

 

 

edit: all right then.... we'll hold David's spot open for Saturday's game.

The Cards are in a near panic, repeatedly losing to sub .500 teams by a run or 2.

Tonite Furcal loses his leadoff job to the redoubtable Schumacher, and the power swinging Craig bats 2nd.

 

Berkman lowered due to his all around futility with the bat AND glove. The Cards' rookie manager is under much scrutiny and really wants this game.

 

Will this be the last RD start for Chicago?

[DiamondMind]

I've got the bottle of JD ready for when Dempster's freak injury occurs tonight. Just a pro tip to the rest of you.

[weis21]

Alcohol would be drank either way for me. It's Friday for goodness sakes.

 

I feel a LAST minute deal before the game for Demps.

Here goes Demp again not showing up in a big game

[Guest]

ugh

[Cubswin11]

Was it me or did Lahair really give up early on the ball in RF? I think a guy with more experience playing the OF gets to that ball.

[El Duderino]

[CincyCubsFan]

Well this. Just figures.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Well this must really be driving up his trade value... One batter retired on what should have been ball 4, then 4 straight singles.

[Andy]

I really hate St. Louis.

[El Duderino]

I really hate St. Louis.

 

i didn't think it was possible for me to hate them more than I already did, but yeah, it is.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 13-12 (.520) when they score in the first inning.... 25-41 (.379) when they don't

CUBS are 26-13 (.667) when they score first in the game.... 12-40 (.231) when they don't

CUBS are 35-33 (.515) when they don't allow any first inning runs.... 3-20 (.130) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

i should probably pull my name from the rotation with the list being as short as it is and the rotation going at the rate it's going :blush:

I don't buy that.

 

Yes, we are mostly overreacting, but there may be teams sitting on the fence who could be swayed by 1 good or bad outing.

[Rizzo Smash]

Someone should let Dempster know this game doesn't matter so he can stop [expletive] the bed.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-7 (.300) when they've won their last 2 games

 

 

Go CUBS !!
