9/18 Cardinals (Lynn) @ Cubs (Haren) 1:20 CDT, ABC 7

[TMan92]

So is this Pham kid another 50th round draft pick that is going to at .340 with 30 HRs?

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs should be allowed to play a couple extra defenders with Haren on the mound.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cardinals are seeing 2.83 P/PA through 3 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

He had legitimately good numbers in the minors, so if he does well it's not ridiculous. Unlike Piscotty and Grichuk, he's actually performing well without a sky-high BABIP, too.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 105-58 in the 3rd inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Piscotty and Grichuk were/are legitimate prospects, they're playing above their expected level but they aren't nobodies. Pham is Bryan LaHair.

[PrimeTime]

With Haren pitching we need to be up around 6-2 for a little comfort..Get some more runs please

[KatJ]

Wow I don't think Schwarber could've reached that one.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yes, make him throw all of the pitches, Cubs.

[KatJ]

Tim McCarver: "Tommy Lasorda up to bat." (Not really, but it would be fun to hear.)

[Sammy Sofa]

HEY LA STELLA, BET YOUR STUPID NOODLE ARMS CAN'T HIT ANOTHER ONE IN. YOU STINK LIKE A SKUNK APE.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

nice snag, JD

The dong gods demand tribute

I'm glad the Astros moved to the AL West. The Central needed to be cleaned up, and that's one less team to hate. OTOH, I can dislike them if I'm rooting for the Mariners.

Cards feed found Dempster in the bleachers.

I've been watching their last series against the Rangers, and I still feel the hate for the Astros. I love watching them crash and burn.

You have my permission to hate the Astros at any time, under any circumstances. ;)

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 29-10 (.744) when they draw 5 or more walks.... 56-51 (.523) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 20-10 (.667) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 65-51 (.560) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I got an irrational annoyance out of watching them lead their division after tanking more blatantly than us and screwing up their draft picks so royally, so I'm totally ok with them dropping out.

[KatJ]

I HATE HATE HATE failure to RISP.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are seeing 4.53 P/PA through 3 innings.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that the latter two weren't real players, just that their success isn't to this point dependent on a ludicrous BABIP.

[TMan92]

This seems like one of those "I can't believe we" Cardinal games.
