9/25 Pirates (Cole) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20 ABC

[TMan92]

Probably goes without saying, but a loss today pretty much cinches the WC game at PNC Park.

 

Not really.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Georgie will defy all odds and dong this inning.

[rawaction]

Does Cole come back out?

 

I don't see why not. 96 pitches, his spot in order isn't due up for awhile, relatively big game.

 

Eh, not really a big game.

The way he hits them, he is the only one that could do it. Can we please stop this 7th inning stretch thing. It is soooooooo bad.

[KatJ]

I want to see Montero and Castro PH next inning for Ross and Lester

 

this

 

I was thinking along similar lines, actually. Would really have rather seen Starlin start today over LaStella.

The Cubs lose today, win the next two plus the make up game, its 2 games. Pirates are in St Louis next week

First guy needs to get on. Pinch-run Quintin. Score tying run.

 

The dude got caught stealing for the first time in 26 attempts last game. No way he gets caught twice in a row.

big game jon

 

Maybe if he could drive in those damn runs he'd be a big game pitcher

But do the Cards have anything to play for at that point or are they basically an expansion team for those games?

I thought they were in Pittsburgh for the series with the Cardinals.

Let's do this, Castro and Jorge.

relative to a game against the Reds in May

First guy, dong. Second guy, dong. Repeat as necessary.

[rocket]

on the bright side 1 run should be enough for the wc game when arrieta pitches

[KatJ]

Maybe Lester should go to Winter ball or someplace in the offseason to learn how not to be practically an automatic out.

 

Castro up -- pls ding dong, m'dear!

[UMFan83]

Wind is really picking up, directly blowing in. Only Jorge can dong in these conditions

They wouldn't have much to play for, but it's not like playing backups has stopped STL from winning a bunch of games to this point.

[KatJ]

Well, that was a whole lot of nothing. Bad Starlin!

They might only be 3 games up on the Pirates by the end of today, they'll want to make extra sure to win at least one to ensure they can hold off Pittsburgh themselves.

[KatJ]

UGH! BASTARDO! (McCutch)

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Whatever, you dumb bastard.

[Guest]

blah

[UMFan83]

I think I'd rather play in PNC National Park than this wind tunnel
