This is a makeup game and the first of a doubleheader against those racist drunk drivers from the state that shall not be named.

How many people died from GSW's in Chicago on July 4th?

 

Because St. Louis has such a glowing record when it comes to murder rate?

Not a very Christ-like thing to be gloating about.

Gloating?

 

I'm not, I'm just suggesting both cities suck at crime rate and overall crappiness. Shoot, that all cities in general. There's always psychos to be found.

Do you say that because of a particular type of person you think lives in cities?

 

 

Cities rule and rural areas drool, mostly because of all the drooling inbred yokels.

Great moments in "Cubs have actually beaten the Cardinals in a Cardinal-like fashion before" history:

 

June 2, 2006 Cubs 5 Cardinals 4 (14 innings) - http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN200606020.shtml

 

One of the worst Cubs teams to watch in my lifetime, but one that was apparently built to beat the Cardinals, as they went 11-8 against the scumbags including a 3 game sweep and 4 game sweep at Wrigley and 2 out of 3 in this particular series at Busch Stadium. Sean Marshall opposed Sidney Ponson in this one (that's a name I haven't thought about in a long time). Jock got the Cubs started with a solo homer, followed by Juan Pierre, coming into the game with a .585 OPS in a much livlier run scoring environment, lining in RBI single in the 5th. Shitty players coming through? Yes the Cubs have done that to the Cardinals before!

 

Following 4 Cardinal runs we hit the bottom of the 9th trailing 4-2. With 1 out (Pierre with a 4-3, imagine that) and a Freddy Bynum on 1st, Isringhausen talks the next 2 hitters (Phil Nevin and Barrett) to load the bases. Todd Walker is up and hits a ground ball right to the sure handed Scott Rolen to set up a game ending 5-4-3 double play and the Cubs lo- WAIT THE BALL TRICKLED THROUGH ROLENS LEGS HAHAHAHAH 2 runs score and the Cubs have tied it! Key error leading to a late inning collapse? Yep this happened to the Cubs vs. the Cardinals before!

 

In the bottom of the 10th the Cardinals loaded the bases with 2 outs and Eckstein up. Surely that grit machine will hustle out a game winning infield single again Scott Eyre....nope, he lined the [expletive] out. In the bottom of the 12th the Cardinals again load the bases, this time with 1 out. Evil cat [expletive] LaRussa decides to let pitcher and future crash test dummy Josh Hancock bat. Of course, the [expletive] pitcher is going to end the [expletive] game with a [expletive] sac fly or some [expletive]. Nope, he strikes out. Eckstein comes up next with a chance to atone to the grit gods, but fails again grounding out to 2nd. Not coming through with RISP and less than 2 outs with the game on the line? Yes this happened before to the Cardinals against the Cubs!

 

Finally in the 14th, Lucky Pierre doubles to lead off the inning against Josh Hancock, who is clearly stretching out his arm to be a future starter on Satan's team by pitching his 4th inning. After a Neifurious bunt (it was probably a full swing but because it led to a dribbler in front of the plate the B-R scorers assumed it was a bunt), Todd Walkaaa grounds out to bring the run home. Dempster closes it out with a strikeout of someone called "G. Bennett" and the Cubs win!

 

See it can be done! The Cardinals can really lose in the same ways they always beat us - in the most annoying way possible.

 

NSBB Game thread: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=32381

 

From a couple of pages of reading, I have determined we still obsess about the gameday weather, and we still bitched about Cardinal scrubs being stars.

 

Put Eckstein, Rodriguez, Spiezo, Luna, and Miles on the Cubs and they'd all have a sub .650 ops. I hate St. Louis and their luck.

 

Yes this was 9 [expletive] years ago and it's only gotten worse.

 

Doesn't really matter who they throw out there, success abounds, Rusch would probably be remotely effective as a Cardinal. I know the old story of its not luck, its the Coaching, but, when is this nonsense of every washed up reject journey man instantly turning into an All Star as soon as he dons a Cardinal uniform going to stop?

 

Never my friend. Never.

 

Post-rolen error:

 

I don't believe...what I just saw.
Rolen never messes up that play. I'll keep that in my memory bank the next time I start to think that the Cubs never get any breaks.

 

Aaaand...I didn't

 

(of course this ended up being one of the most annoying Cardinals teams ever who nearly blew a huge division lead with a late season collapse, but made the playoffs with an 83-78 record and suddenly went on a rampage to win the world series but we will have to ignore that for now)

Not sure which is worse -- St. Louis has a Kolten Wong, or that Mike Shannon pronounces it "Coatin' Waong"

No Russell or Coghlan and I guess Teagarden is catching Beeler, which makes sense as they probably worked together in the minors.

 

I'd probably rather have Denorfia leading off than Fowler (God, that's depressing to say), but I guess that lineup's ok.

This seems like a sensible question to pose in a baseball game thread.

I'm just suggesting both cities suck at crime rate and overall crappiness.

I've lived in both cities, and the main difference between the two is that there are some pleasant aspects of Chicago.

I get that the board is kinda a little desperate for new blood, and that there have been senseless bannings in the past (FDB), but that the overly-religious, super antagonistic Cardinals fan continues to bless us with his company seems...odd.

He's gone.

 

Honestly, I don't go into game threads a ton these days, and it appears that's where he posted mostly. Only saw it this time cuz someone reported the post.
