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

[Geech]

That was a good inning for Lester. Hopefully the offense will get moving here soon.

Someone reboot David

 

i realize you haven't watched many cubs games over the past couple of years so i don't blame you for not knowing that chris coghlan is good (and john lackey kills righties)

[Guest]

yay addy!

 

pinch hit for the old scrub please

[halplm]

Lots of players play their best against rivals.

 

I'm waiting for our guys to show that...

you mean like every series they had against st louis and pittsburgh over the last 6 weeks or whatever?

 

Yes, I expect it to continue today...

 

you made it sound like you were waiting for it as though it doesn't or hasn't actually happened...you sure that's not what you meant?

 

No, I meant it hasn't happened yet today, and I'm waiting for it... It was ambiguous, but hey, a hit!

[bcl412]

I keep telling myself that when we win one we're going to have moments of doubt, frustration and fear during the run. The first half of this game is just part of that.

[Gilby]

Even though I just predicted he'd dong, now you have to hit for Ross with a baserunner on.

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

This game needs more Javy and Soler

 

i....don't think that's a good idea

 

I think Soler is ideal for Lackey. Lackey doesn't have a mean breaking ball, he's all location.

 

....maybe. it's not terrible logic.

SSS and all, but Soler is 4/8 against Lackey with 3 doubles. Coghlan is 8/17.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 98-64 (.605) when they get hits .... 0-1 (.000) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Soul]

yay addy!

Too much to ask I guess

[davell]

Part of me wants to send Addy here.

Go CUBS !!

 

I laughed, nice stat! :)

Ross is not going to fail miserably.

[Guest]

That was the pitch to hit for Ross, not sure if he'll get another

[Gilby]

Joe Simpson has never seen a hit-and-run before.

[UMFan83]

Come on Addy, go on this pitch...ross has been making too much contact, hes gonna GIDP

 

Edit: Or a horrible strike 3

might as well. at least then you get a shot with fowler w/RISP almost for sure if he makes it

[ScrubMD]

Ross is not going to fail miserably.

 

No DP, count it.

[ARCubsFan]

Swing the bat

[Careless]

nice call, ump.

[rawaction]

Wow

[abuck1220]

ridiculous letting him hit there. awful.

[UMFan83]

It's gonna be up to Fowler after Lester hopefully bunts him over.

[Guest]

That's touching the opposite chalk when it hits Molina's glove

[Guest]
