10/09 CUBS (LESTER) @ CARDINALS (LACKEY), 5:30 PM CT, TBS

[bukie]

We have Russell, Ross and Lester due up in the 3rd yay

Two runs minimum imo.

 

Don't spaz out already.

[Splendid Splinter]

I can see Maddon getting ejected in this game if this K zone continues.

[Geech]

Glad to hear the announcer call out the umps zone.

 

"John Lackey finds the edge." Of what? Phil Cuzzi's glans?

[chuckywang]

Jon Lester averages 0.60 ER in the 1st inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

 

Tricky. 0.6 ER = 5.40 ERA?

 

Only if you pitch 9 innings every time out.

 

Uhh ... no.

[badger1679666666]

Robot umps please

[UMFan83]

Dammit @cubsump why are you inactive

[Crack Wilson]

of course old ass matt holliday catches that bryant liner and then his .180 or whatever hitting ass since the injury gets the RBI hit

It would be a miracle for him to finish this season on his feet. He's a mess!

 

Hey, Dave...how do I get the OLD forum format? Is that possible?

[CubInOK]

Yadi won't swing this series.

[UMFan83]

Standing O for their sh!tbag catcher

[Guest]

lol Molina literally has no intention of swinging half the time

[philosophizer75]

Wow molina looks like he is really feeling it or is being extremely careful

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-2 with Phil Cuzzi behind home plate...........

Go CUBS !!

[UMFan83]

Sweet so our catchers cancel each other out offensively

[Guest]

lackey is so getting a hit here isn't he

[Wilson A2000]

As long as Lester gets 2-3 inches off the corners too, I'm OK with it. TBS's pitch tracker has been off all playoffs too.

[UMFan83]

Why don't they ever talk about how that [expletive] got picked off to end a World Series game?

[Ski]

So begins the Cardinals fluky BABIP parade.

[Geech]

Wong celebrates the right way.

That called 3rd was nowhere near the strike zone no matter where TBS's pitch track had it

[Guest]

28 thru 2 for Lester, that'll work

[ARCubsFan]

That was the loudest cheer for a routine grounder I've ever heard

[Fred Hornkohl]

P/PA through 2 inning(s)....

 

CUBS: 3.67

Cardinals: 3.11

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Ski]

Okay, Cubs.

 

John Lackey pounds the strikezone with fastballs all the time.

 

Hit them hard, please. There's no reason for him to have this much success.

 

Thank you!

[UMFan83]

That was the loudest cheer for a routine grounder I've ever heard

 

Lackey grounded out the right way. Had to applaud him for the perfect way he grounded to Castro.

[philosophizer75]

I'd love to see addy get on here, and have Ross get his one hit out of ten at bats and have Lester bunt to bring up the top. I daresay I'd trade body parts for it.
