7/22 Cubs (Zambrano) at Cardinals (Carpenter), 7:10 pm, WGN

[Omar]

Ugh.

 

As a CF, I have to say Jim Edmonds should have caught that one.

 

:-k

 

Former?

 

Eyeliner Boy took a bad route (and got called off).

 

Why does he wear eyeliner? Protection from the sun, what?

[Coach C]

Seeerike 3!

 

Sit down Jimmy.

[Omar]

Edmonds strikes out.

[Mizzou]

Jenny Edmonds strikes out again! Haha, Pooey and Jenny are 0-4 with 4 K's!

[Blueheart05]

sit down mabeline

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Edmonds K's on a powerful cut.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

K for Pujols and K for Mr. Maybeline. :D

[OldHappyCubFan]

I wager a bet that DLee goes deep his next AB.

[XZero771679666304]

I hate cortisone shots.

[Jon]

And that's why I hated the small ball last inning. Carpenter is getting hit hard tonight. You can't just give up outs.

 

Even if Carpenter isn't getting hit hard, small ball would have been a waste.

 

I understand the philosophy, but... we scored a run. How is that a waste??

It took away a chance of scoring more than one. If you can do that every inning, that would be great. But you don't have the heart of the order coming up all that often with a guy on base and nobody out. Walker swinging at a bad pitch on the first pitch just to move the runner over also changed Lee's approach. I want him swinging for power and not focusing on just making contact.

His boyfriend likes it when he wears eyeliner.

Fair enough.

[Roast]

I hope Dlee homers like seventeen times this series. And each time when he rounds first he points and laughs at Pujols.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Please Baker, for the love of GOD stop playing Todd Hollandsworth.

 

I'd rather have an old Billy Williams RIGHT NOW, then Todd Hollandsworth.

Because driving a ball to the wall is a bad thing?

[Omar]

Barrett lines right to Edmonds.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Edmonds was thinking of diving.

[YearofDaCubs]

first-pitch swinging again.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Edmonds was thinking of diving.

 

truer words were never spoken.
