4/13 Cubs (Jackson) at Cards (Wacha) 1:15 WGN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Random thoughts: Lake may not make good contact, but he hits the ball really hard when he does.

 

I really don't think that's something he can do consistently long-term. Something's going to have to give.

Watching Bourjos fall in CF on Lake's triple was funny.

 

Yadier talking [expletive] to Lake as he scores.

Best fans in baseball can't tell what a HBP is.

I don't drink Budweiser for 2 reasons - it's bad beer and the affiliation with the Cards. I [expletive] hate seeing Bud commercials

 

Well they're pretty tightly affiliated with the Cubs now too.

It doesn't help that InBev bought 312 as well. Their infiltrating the perimeter!

Is there that much of a speed diff. between Castillo and Baker?

[gscool89]

Why are the Cubs using a back-up catcher as a pinch runner?

[Guest]

Strike 1 to Valbuena has been a ball all game. Ball 1 was a strike to Castro and Lake.

At this point, its worth finding out if he can.

Well, this is an unexpected fake rally.

I think we've all been Cubs fans long enough to know there is no such thing

[Schwarber Fan]

This nonsense wouldn't even be happening if the cards didn't get the extra runs.

*shrug* I guess so. It was worth finding out what Bryan LaHair could do, too, but I know what the answer will probably be.

 

Fake rally in progress: 2.5 stars/5. Nobody is buying it.

I hope Renteria is seeing the pixie dust wear off of Bonifacio. Edited April 13, 2014 by UK

I [expletive] hate St. Louis. At least I don't have to watch them again for a while

[UMFan83]

Hahaha you didn't sweep us Cardinals

They suck. Must be why we beat them at baseball almost 1/3rd of the time.

[Crack Wilson]

Scoring 3 runs on Wacha in 7 is a mean feat....this game was winnable.

As have been about 7 of the 8 losses. Yet we're just the "rebuilding Cubs" who are supposed to lose.

[Castros trade value]

12 games in and we're 6 games out. :good:

I mean, it's not even mid April yet and we've been pretty much eliminated. :hello:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I mean, it's not even mid April yet and we've been all but eliminated. :hello:

 

We were eliminated on Sept. 28, 2011, when Epstein decided he was tired of all that pressure to win every year and wanted to go to a franchise that would let him play Farm System Hero.

[Schwarber Fan]

I think the offense has done enough most days. Gotta upgrade the Jackson/Villanueva rotation spots and 2 bullpen spots.

Stop that [expletive] [expletive]. If Ricketts had money to spend, they certainly would be spending it. But he doesn't and they can't. And you [expletive] know it.

Why even bother responding to Kyle when he posts [expletive] like that?

[Guest]

I don't understand why people bother reading Kyle's posts.

Hmm. So they *didn't* sit on a huge wad of cash this offseason that could have been used to help the team, and instead pinned everything on the hope that they could lowball Tanaka?
