  1. LOL Lopez is starting in left field tonight. Seriously, left soapdropping field. And I don't remember anyone ever ranting about the awesomeness of Brendan Ryan. Stunting the super stardom of Joe Mather. I'm convinced that Tony La Russa draws out of a hat who plays LF and RF on any given night. If Ankiel is injured/out, then it's all three positions. Every time I see a game they have a different outfield alignment.
  2. On topic, I'm not pleased the Bucs will get Favre because it probably makes them better and might jeopardize Carolina's streak of finishing second in the division no matter how horrible/underachieving/good the team is (BTW, it's at four years in a row now)
  3. I look at Ryan Ludwick and I see Mark Bellhorn. One great season, then he fades into oblivion. Ludwick already has as many home runs as Bellhorn had in 2002. So long as the Cubs keep winning, STL can have as many Ludwick/Schumaker/Miles/Ankiel/etc success stories as they want, they're still probably not making the playoffs.
  4. http://home.comcast.net/~bcvm22/cubs/862008.mp3 You are like Jesus.
  5. Mark Sweeney up next. I think he's played for every NL West team.
  6. That's not a problem for the Cubs. They aren't the ones who have to gain ground. I want as big a lead as possible, but Mizzou's right. All we can control is winning, and that's all we need to do.
  7. Not right now he isn't.For about two more days he's a co-closer. He probably won't even pitch again in that role as I'd imagine Samardzija, who hasn't pitched the last two games, gets the save opportunity tomorrow if there is one. It would appear that Lou will probably have Wood be the closer again in time for STL this weekend.
  8. Gaudin and Samardzija should be setup men, taking Howry out of that role. Marmol's already a setup man...how many do we really need? Could've had Eyre, Marmol AND Shark/Gaudin as setup men and had the other of Shark/Gaudin piggyback Harden while Marshall gets stretched out. This isn't wildly important now, but I fear the day a Cubs starting pitcher gets hurt late in the season too late to get Marshall ready to replace him, and you know what that would mean...
  9. Should've sent down Marshall. If you need a 'piggybacker' for Harden, we have at least two other solid options in the current pen besides Sean (Samardzija and Gaudin). There was no reason to get rid of one of the relievers who's actually pretty good at his job.
  10. I want to win the division by as many games as possible and crush all comers in the playoffs, and moreover do it without any obvious instances of luck (like some of the umpiring that went the Sox's way in 2005). I don't want there to be any doubt about how good this team was when they're looked back on.
  11. thank you for explaining the point that i was too lazy to make myself. Sometimes Cards fans are good for something. :D
  12. He didn't do it, but he did get two more RBI. Has a player ever hit two grand slams in the same inning before? Fernando Tatis, 1999 for STL
  13. Yeah, we were playing with house money after Milwaukee lost to the Reds anyway, I've got enough positive memories from this one to live with the L.
  14. That DeRosa shot was like the Fontenot homer he hit last year in the 9th to end a game (I think against Cincy) that I still swear God knocked down.
  15. Oh that's a load of bullcrap. No way in hell that wasn't a homer.
  16. Well, at least he's out of the game.
  17. Ward swings at absolutely everything.
  18. Ball 3 was a strike when Moehler was out there.
  19. I've always kind of wanted to be at one of these games. Almost was two years ago this week but it got rained out.
  20. WCIU is airing Decision House. Is anyone going back to the game or am I Gameday Audio-ing this?
  21. Hahahahahahaha, this post cracks me up for some reason.
  22. I'm a little surprised you'd be able to watch a Brewers game in Chicago. I'm blacked out of the Reds in South Bend so I'm hosed on that game.
  23. RIGHT AFTER THE FIFTH. Unbelievable.
