9/9 Cubs (Lester) @ Cardinals (Martinez) 12:45 PM CST, CSN

We just need Ski or Rondon Fan to overreact like usual to Schwarber's game today. Then he'll go 3-4 with a dong tomorrow.

Schwarber sucks. Trade him to the Mets for a pitcher who gets TJS and never recovers.

[Sammy Sofa]

This relative offensive drought it s all because they foolishly benched their best bat today.

 

And I am, of course, talking about Castro. This is all La Stella's fault.

We're going to choke away the wild card. because of Schwarber. WHY DO BAD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO US.

Check Lester's line since the first. :hello:

[KatJ]

Truthfully, though, I don't think it would hurt any for Schwarber to make a little adjustment. Might be easier on the ribs, too, if he were closer to the plate.

Lester can throw baseballs.

More runs would be swell, but its good that Lester is cruising

Truthfully, though, I don't think it would hurt any for Schwarber to make a little adjustment. Might be easier on the ribs, too, if he were closer to the plate, not having to reach to Timbuktu and possibly risk straining. Edited September 9, 2015 by KatJ

Yeah, if I were in a bad slump, I would want to focus on shortening up my swing and making contact, at least with two strikes.

MAybe Rizzo should try crouching over first and see what happens

[George Hayduke]

God, Carpenter is such a whiney [expletive].

[Cubswin11]

Why would Denorfia and not Jackson replace Schwarber since it's more for defensive purposes???

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-0 (1.000) when they give up 2 hits or less.... 77-57 (.575) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[KatJ]

I really like when Carpenter comes up with nothing. Never liked him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 58-7 (.892) when they lead at the end of the 6th inning.... 22-50 (.306) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

When was the last time the Cubs even swept the Cardinals? 2009? 2008?

time to hit top pot

[Old Style]

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 55-21 (.724) when their starter pitches 6 innings or more.... 25-36 (.410) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[PrimeTime]

Im still not comfortable with this lead since its the [expletive] cardinals..Make it 5-1 and Ill feel better

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Really good outing from Jon, after a sketchy first inning.

[Sammy Sofa]

Jackson's fine defensively.
