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

[Sammy Sofa]

McCarver just said that they had to protect against Ross' power. Please destroy him.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

They don't deserve him.

[kujay]

Stop coming up to bat, Lester.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-12 (.676) when Ross starts at catcher.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

MCCARVER, FOR [expletive]'S SAKE, YOU ARE THE WORST.

 

Why are you listening to that douchebag?

 

No option to use the MLB app where I am; stuck with the MLB Network.

[Guest]

i think i'm going ot have to sync up the radio broadcast for the playoffs

 

the thought of listening to one of these national idiots talk about lester's pickoff thing all game is just ugh

[Old Style]

So what's with the head rub thing Javy did towards the bench after his single? I don't get to watch many of the games unfortunately. I did see Schwarber & a couple other guys do it from the dugout last night too, I think it was.

[Guest]

Just happy Ross didn't GIDP so at least Lester won't lead off the 6th.

[ctcf]

Javy looking a bit more worrisome his last couple ABs.

 

re-quoting for lulz

[Fred Hornkohl]

Go CUBS !!

His commentary on the replay of the Castro homer last night was great.

 

Castro:

 

McCarver: "Wacha doesn't even turn to look at the home run."

it's just a thing they've been doing all year, mostly for big hits but sometimes they do it on any old hit

I'd like to know how to do that. I've tried in listening to (then it was) WGN while watching the national visual coverage, but the radio stuff always lagged just enough behind to annoy me.

It's because Castro touches his head a lot. It's a team joke.

[Guest]

Schwarber almost Coghlan'd that one right good

He also said Rizzo had had testicular cancer. It was Hodgkin's lymphoma, right?

Yup. That drove me insane last night.

[Sammy Sofa]

McCarver: "Major League players are designed to hit balls in the strike zone."

[Sammy Sofa]

[Careless]
