8/12 StL Cardinals (Marquis) @ Cubs (Zambrano) 1:20 WGN

[KatJ]

RATS!!!! Corey lines out hard. :(

[PieOnMyHands]

Good job.

 

Law of averages.

 

Marquis will bat in the 7th, but his day is done after that. He got lucky today. Those double plays and that well-struck lineout by Corey. Oh well, we'll take it. You guys got a lot of bloops hits yesterday. :lol:

Was that a liner atom ball for those of us at work?

[minnesotacubsfan]

I JUST DISCOVERED GAMEDAY MINI

[CubfaninCA]

Ugh. The Cards are lucky.

[da bears]

oh yeah that ball was hit very hard, rodriguez had to run a little bit, but caught it at about waste level.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Was that a liner atom ball for those of us at work?

 

Yep, well struck line drive, but right at somebody.

[Outshined_One]

Was that a liner atom ball for those of us at work?

 

It was well-hit and was ticketed for the wall, but it was hit right at the OF.

[Jon]

Back injuries are not fun...

[neely crenshaw]

Good job.

how many times do you see a manager wait until after a pitcher hits to take him out? i gotta believe you let him hit....he's half their o

[badger1679666666]

Well good to see CPatt hitting the ball hard again, and using all fields.

[gflore34]

Ugh. The Cards are lucky.

 

Beyond a doubt the luckiest team in the NL, they're also good.

[CubfaninCA]

Alright, Wood could come in soon. Lets get this win!

[neely crenshaw]

they are pinch hitting for the catcher and letting marquis hit! gotta make mahoney feel special!

[minnesotacubsfan]

Alright, Wood could come in soon. Lets get this win!

 

NAW, HES ONLY USED IN BLOW-OUT LOSES

[badger1679666666]

Baker better be saving Woody to face their studs. We finally have good arms in the pen, I don't want to see crap out there.

[Ram1380]

This is where we need Wood/Williamson to come up big.

[KatJ]

KERRY WOOD SIGHTING!!!! Throwing in the pen!!!! :D

[minnesotacubsfan]

WOOD THROWING IN THE PEN

[PieOnMyHands]

Ugh. The Cards are lucky.

 

Beyond a doubt the luckiest team in the NL, they're also good.

 

Why can't you guys just give us credit?

 

We've been a great team for over a year and half now. This isn't a flukey ride of luck.

[da bears]

If Marquis gets a hit here, I will be very angry...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hey it's not my fault you advocate moving Walker down in the lineup because he GIDP for the 5th time all year. IT's a ridiculous move. Who would you have up there on this lineup?

 

Then you can calmly say "Walker has only 5 GIDP all year, hes a good number 2 hitter."

 

You don't have to make a personal attack/sarcastic comment.

 

Alot of times I post on emotion in game threads. I do however think once Nomar gets better, he should be #2. Walker seems to do better batting 6th, though I'm interested in seeing his stats in different slots.

Nice inning from Novoa (aside from a few hangers).

[neely crenshaw]

they really need to let him play somewhere. he is just hacking! and it's not like they are feeding him fastballs, he is adjusting to nasty sliders and breaking pitches. like len said it won't be long before they start bringing in lefties just face him!
