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.
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.
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.
Ludwick doubles in another run after two more walks. OPS for Ludwick = 1.062 Cueto entered tonight's game with 23 walks in 74 innings and has walked 7 tonight in 4 innings.
I will personally keep this thread going with Post-Pujols, Waino injuries, regardless of the outcome. KyleJRM, if I forget, pick up the slack. We do have other game threads if you want to do that. I will be.
I am about two days away from requesting that the Cardinals send their Rookie League team out in Cardinals uniforms for two weeks just to see what happens.
