9/15 The Great Pit of Cardkoon (Carlos Martinez) @ Corbs (Apoplectic Mule) 1:20 CST ABC 7/MLBN

[Sammy Sofa]

Hopefully Joe learned his lesson about tinkering last night and won't do anything dumb with the lineup today. The Megabat Corbs will be needed as Martinez has a knack for striking dudes out, so they gotta strike while the dong is hot. Keep swinging them mighty bats and cruise to victory, dammit.

Now would be the time I'd rant about how much I can't stand Lackey and his stupid face, but I'm gonna take the high road, turn over a new leaf and keep it real cool. I am above you, Lackey.

Oh whooptie do Cubs you won 3 games against a AA team. Even with you purposely handicapping yourself by starting Tseng and Davis to make things fair, NOT GOOD ENOUGH

 

 

 

Thinking of Lackey's punchable face reminds me of another very punchable face

I had a pretty good 1:1 ratio on hearts given/received until this winning streak. Oh well.

I can't find a gif of the terribad scene of the dog snagging that pigeon in mid-flight and it's killing me.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Gonna be a whole lot of this in the bullpen today

 

[UMFan83]

I'm so disappointed I can't find a gif of the horse killing Don's father. Would be perfect for a Lackey start

Here's Betty getting Lackey ready to go for his big start.

 

[squally1313]

Eh...close enough.

FREE ALMORA!

 

Super SSS but whatever, Almora is 4-10 lifetime against current Cardinals with a double and a triple and only 1 K. And 9 of those 10 ABs were against righties (3 were against Carlos Martinez, who he doubled off of for his 1 hit)

I am going to start binge watching Mad Men tonight. Never have seen it before. 92 episodes. I figure if I watch two episodes a weeknight and 3 on weekends I should finish as the Cubs eliminate the Indians for a second straight year.

stupid abc 7 game, was hoping to watch this at work

Let Schwarbs dong it open early and genital piercing can play the last three innings.

True, he's like that lethal striker that is subbed in for the last 30 to put the game away.

"Strike while the dong is hot" is my new favorite phrase.

[Sammy Sofa]

Eh...close enough.

Man, that has the real potential to be a catastrophic 5-7.

 

Here's hoping at least Schwarber manages to keep that from happening.

He's getting his prediction in early. Also, he's a time traveler.

I feel like the Cubs really need to take 2of 3 here.

 

Looking at the schedules going forward, Cubs play Tampa and Milwaukee while Cards play the dregs of our division. a 4 game lead would be, um, better than a 2 game lead going into that.
