9/7 Cubs (Maddux) @ Cardinals (Mulder) 7:10 CT CSN

NEIFI PEREZ!!!!

[otis89]

D'OH!! I was so excited about Murton and Cedeno both starting, I forgot that since there's a lefty pitching, Walker must sit even though he's done better against lefties than righties this season.

[ltb]

According to Dusty, Murton's real good at hitting lefties already. Let's hit him 8th against one.

 

Oh, and Neifi plays over Walker against another LHP. Criminal.

 

dude, he can't just take the ball and glove out of neifi's hands.

[EricG]

Neifi is actually respectable against lefties

[JGalt73]

Neifi vs. lefties in 109 AB: .315 avg, .339 OBP, .546 SLG

Walker vs. lefties in 78 AB: .333 avg, .368 OBP, .577 SLG

 

Although Neifi's much better batting from the right side, he's still no Todd Walker: OPS .885 vs .945

[halplm]

but dude, the guy's SAVED us this year!

[JGalt73]

If you are going to get Maddux, jump on him in the 1st inning...

[cjbucks]

We're off to a great start! Cubs look at 7 pitches in the first - could it be a 70 pitch complete game for Mulder tonight?

a single for barrett

On the 1st AB, did anyone else see Pujols favoring his left foot when chasing the foul ball?

[cjbucks]

There goes Alberts gold glove :cry:

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I honestly think my throwing arm might be nearly equivalent to David Eckstein's.

I'm on radio but they said Grudz is out again with a bad back. I don't see these guys winning the ws - they're pretty beat up.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Murton keeps hitting, and Neifi almost breaks his leg sliding into home.

[lowest]

yay murton!

2-0

1 out of 2 ain't bad.

[cjbucks]

Santo says Neif wasn't running on contact - forgot how many outs there were. Wasn't Neif on one of those all fundamentals teams in SF?

[muntjack]

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[Brian]

Why is Murton playing???? He's only batting .343.....

[Brian]

Hector Luna flies out for Maddux's 400th inning.

[otis89]

I'm sorry, but Taguchi was clearly out at second earlier.

[cjbucks]

Too bad Jimmy boy!

[Brian]

The cardinals load the bases with no outs and fail to score... so they are playing the part of the Cubs again tonight!

It does feel good to have the shoe on the other foot for a change 8)
