7/14 Cards (Wainwright) @ Cubs (Wood) 7 p.m. CT, ESPN

[Sammys Boombox]

The most intelligent thing I've heard tonight was Matheny's interview.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why is Sappelt starting over Schierholtz today?

Schierholtz is "banged up" and getting rest until after the All-Star break.

[Schwarber Fan]

Another leadoff runner stranded while the Cardinals have cheap 2 out runs everywhere. Gotta hate it.

 

Also, it's amazing how yke ESPN guys have no idea what they're talking about.

Offense is doing about as well as you could hope against a pitcher like Wainwright while only scoring 1 run. Another quality inning should end Wainwright's night after 5.

[Castros trade value]

Shulman:

 

 

"It's got to be so tough to be a Cubs fan. There have been times it seems that enjoying the sunshine and enjoying an adult beverage or two was enough. Now that Theo is here, expectations came along with him".

 

Look, dummy. We had expectations long before Theo got here. Quit generalizing you [expletive]!!

Not really, sadly.

Baseball has the worst national broadcast booths (FOX, ESPN etc.) of any major sport.

I agree. I think Cubs look awesome at the plate tonight.

[Schwarber Fan]

Also, the behind the plate cam. STOP IT

Luis has been just [expletive] unreal! Talk about a find.

[Schwarber Fan]

Seems like a homer will be impossible tonight. (Until Beltran puts one into the basket later)

[Andy]

Stumbled into a good one for sure.

[Careless]

thank you, basket!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Haha, Barney.

The one that Valbuena put in the basket last night would have been on Sheffield on any night without wind blowing in. He smoked it and it went pretty high and really got knocked down by the wind a lot.

 

Also, it would be nice if Wainwright didn't get the old Maddux zone.

 

BARNEY!

[Schwarber Fan]

Pat sounded dumbfounded on his call.

[Schwarber Fan]

Holy mother of god I hate Molina. Throw at his leg.
