7/24 Cubs (Prior) vs Cardinals (Suppan) 7:05pm ESPN

[fillm0re]

How many times are they going to have to show those 3 home runs?

at least two more times during the game, then be sure not to miss the replays on sportcenter every hour on the hour from 3 am to 11 am.

[Coach C]

Unintentional intentional BB.

[Outshined_One]

taguchi looks about 12 :shock:

 

That's So Taguchi!

[Blueheart05]

Soup is too chicken to give Derrek a hittable pitch.

[otis89]

Lee walks...again. Let's drive him in this time, OK?

 

STOP SHOWING THE 3 CARDINALS HOME RUNS ALREADY!!!!!

C'mon. nobody else liked this one? Stop being depressed about the game and concentrate on joe morgan's stupidity.

 

No one cared when he said that Nomar was rehabbing at the Cardinals camp in Mesa either.

That was Jon Miller that said that.

 

Is there really much difference between the two? They're both stupid, biased, and horrible announcers.

I'm just clarifying.

[otis89]

Crapola.

[Coach C]

Eh, they're just playing to lose this game.

 

Where is the sense of urgency guys?

 

Goodness.

He's right...

 

You miss with a FB, you're less likely to give up a line drive/HR than you would if you hung a breaking ball. A hanging curve/slider is the easiest pitch in baseball to drive.

 

A "hanging fastball", UK? When have you ever heard that said before? i know what he's trying to say too, but there's no such thing as a hanging fastball.

 

You leave a FB right down the middle with no movement, it's a hanging FB (no pitcher tries to throw a FB like that except 3-0 vs. a punching judy), it is a stupid term, but can be applied to that type of pitch.

 

I prefer "flat" or in scouting terms "straight" and for movement "none".

I generally dont laugh at teams that are ahead of us by more than 10 games in the standings. Oh and they have had just as many injuries as us too.

 

The Cardinals may be ahead of us by more than 10 games in the standings, but it ain't because of fundementals.

 

Also, it's a bit disingenuous for the Cardinals to cry injury when it has only happened to them recently while the Cubs have been plagued for most of the season.

[otis89]

Mabry, Grudz, Taguchi = at least 1 Cardinal run this inning.

Not to be a troll but i dont think the cards have been crying.

And last season. 2004 may have been the worst injury year I have seen from any team in my memory.

correct.

[Edgeman187]

The injuries are depressing, but it happens.

[otis89]

Wow. Prior actually struck someone out. :shock:

[ToupeeOnFire]

Not saying you (they) are, just replying to the poster.

[otis89]

Wow. 2 outs in a row. :shock:

They were drafting guys outta the stands to start games for them.

Agreed. A fastball with no movement or bad location, yes. A hanging fastball, no.

 

Anyway, back to the crappiness.

[otis89]

Prior couldn't buy a 1-2-3 inning.

[sethuel1]

Eads bridge is historic?

 

An Jon, "ballpark village" means they're copying off of Wrigleyville.

Prior not being able to put Nunez away shook his confidence, he's been passive all night.

1985 is right about at the beginning of my Cubs fandom. I wasn't too concerned of injuries back then.

 

But in my recent memory no team, Cubs or not, seemed to be as screwed by injury as last years team.

 

 

On another note, Prior really needs to stop fooling around and go after guys if he wants to stay around for long.
