6/27: Cubs (roach) @ cards (wacha) 6:15 on fox

[Sammy Sofa]

Needs more tears and booze to be accurate.

[NotSoSober]

we'll somehow win this cause wacha is good and noone knows who the [expletive] roach is

[Gilby]

I'm not *that* worried about this game. Over 10 starts Roach would assuredly suck. But just for one, maybe we get lucky.

 

Yeah, if he has his sinker working, I could see him having a good spot start tonight. There might be zero strikeouts, but he can survive one start.

 

And damn, was hoping Len would do PBP tonight.

[HendryWallet]

Forgot Reynolds does pbp for fox :banghead:

 

Surprised they didn't have him do US Open coverage

[Schwarber Fan]

Just wanted to point out that if Bourjos was on the Cubs, there's no way he would be playing today, let alone make a nice running catch in the gap to open the game after looking like he was headed for the DL yesterday.

[Sammy Sofa]

That was a weird AB for Rizzo.

So, to summarize, every player on the Cardinals would be bad and/or unlucky if they were on the Cubs. Great, now we never need to go to this stupid well ever again.

[Gilby]

I'm slightly worried about Rizzo's right elbow. He looked uncomfortable on that last swing.

[DiamondMind]

Bryant and Rizzo both look really uncomfortable lately

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, I'm hoping it was a "holy hell, why did I swing at THAT?!?"-grimace as opposed to the "oh [expletive], something just pulled/popped/tore"-grimace it looked a little too much like.

[DiamondMind]

it begins

[Crack Wilson]

Now that we've improved my landlord has stopped betting when we play St. Louis...but last night he was so happy and drunk he offered me even 2-1 tonight. I couldn't pass it up!

 

So THIS one we win.

[Derwood]

As a Cardinals fan...

 

As a Cubs fan, I hate you. You fan of death. You supporter of pure evil.

 

And I hate Wong because of his batting stance. It annoys me to look at.

 

Isn't Wong's stance just a lefty version of Castro/Soler?

[Gilby]

Wong trying to make up for Holliday being out of the lineup and doing his part to tear Starlin's ACL.

[Sammy Sofa]

I feel like when I tried to slide when I played baseball it usually ended up looking like that.

[Guest]

Why on earth can you slide like that? [expletive] off wong.

Weird things continue to happen

[Sammy Sofa]

Heyward bops in his stance like he's right out of Ken Griffy Jr. Baseball.

[Soul]

Roach looks predictably horrible. Sure didn't take long for that first mound visit

[DiamondMind]

stay positive....stay positive

[NotSoSober]

so who do we call up tomorrow to join the bullpen?

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

This already isn't going well sigh.

[Gilby]

4 ground balls, 3 find holes. Keep throwing groundballs, they'll find a defender eventually.
