    k thnx idiot Give me a break. People were jumping with joy around here when the Pujols news broke. That's an exaggeration at best. I think the most excited reactions came from those that don't want Cardinals' fans to have an excuse that they didn't win the division, which is hardly jumping for joy.

    I don't care if he 'kept getting injured', he'd never OPS'd even .900 in a season at any level and now he's OPSing nearly 1.100 when he will turn 30 in a month. It's a load of crap any way you slice it. Becareful with that argument. D Lee went multiple seasons without an OPS over .900 and about the same age posted an OPS of 1.1. Were you calling that a load of crap? Obviously Ludwick isn't as good as Lee, and he won't end up with an OPS of 1.1. But he could still end up at .9-1.0 Derrek Lee made a tangible improvement to his game - learning to hit (especially to pull) the inside pitch. He also had consistent OPS's above .850 at the big league level. Ludwick had been below .850 every full season (more than 200 ABs) he had played since two good years in 2002 and 2003 (which, admittedly, I messed up, he OPS'd in the low 900's in both those years but were still in the minors and not the majors).

    The difference is that beyond DeRosa, Theriot and Dempster, they don't really have any reason to wonder if we have any magical powers. And those three combined don't even remotely approach the BS of Ryan Ludwick let alone all the other idiots they have playing well.

    Brendan Ryan knocked in Braden Looper, who doubled to raise his average to .385. ETA: Actually he knocked in LaRue. Looper still on base.
  5. Andy
    Braden Looper is hitting .385. He's 1/4 tonight, though - it was .409 entering tonight.
  6. Andy
    Go figure. I came here to post that Looper is 0-3 tonight to lower his average to .360 and he doubles. He's now hitting .385.

    Nice going Jimmy! 7-0!

    Time for a Jimmyslam

    I think the Cubs will be ok provided Derrek Lee continues hitting the ball as he did last night. Ok, this is getting ridiculous. That's an 0-2 pitch too, and a fastball.

    Kelly Johnson is not having the most impressive game in the field.

    Ludwick just homered again, giving him more homers than any Cub.
  13. Andy
    Ryan Ludwick, the nearly 30 year old career minor leaguer, is the greatest player of all time.

    Matt Murton fanboys are gleefully giggling. Hoffpauir was coming up anyway, this just gives a reprieve to whoever they wanted to send down I'm imagining.

    It doesn't have the same long-lasting consequences after the fact, no.
  16. Andy
    It had been over 40 for some time before his first AB tonight.
  17. Andy
    THE RIOT! :D

    I had a feeling with the rash of injuries at the Cardinals that we'd have something happen. The bug was just missing a few hours southwest.
  19. Andy
    Soriano will leave. FWIW I didn't see anything clearly bad on the close-up of his hand.
  20. Andy
    Oh no.
  21. Andy
    LOL at Kelly Johnson.
  22. Andy
    I'm sick of them, but the obvious solution is to win every game we play. And the Cubs seem to agree with that philosophy.
  23. Andy
    F-BOMB!!!!
  24. Andy
    not a strike, nor even close
  25. Andy
    K's Tex. Very good first inning from Dempster.
