Yes more hits with 0-2 counts, I like that.
-
As impressive as that is, it just upsets me that we haven't won every single one of those 24 games. Getting blanked most of the time is less frustrating than letting a lead get away.
-
I just realized our two lefties are hitting back-to-back, the lineup confounding me once agian
-
Yeah, check out the transaction board. I posted that. No way they deal in the division...do they?
-
We did a good job against Baek, got our hits but not many runs. We will get them now.
-
Bad? DeRosa I believe is hitting over .300, Edmonds is heating up big time, and Blanco is the backup catcher. Yes that was why i was talking about this specific lineup But Z is making me look silly
-
Back end of this lineup is baaaaaad
-
Still torn on my distaste of Edmonds and his seeming clutch abilities
-
I think he's settling down a bit. Maybe we can hold him down for another couple innings.
-
Suspend the 'hurr cubs on teh road' talk, we're mashing Baek pretty well, just gotta get some runners home next time.
-
throw strikes
-
I really, really really hate it when Z walks people
-
And Blanco, besides being pretty crappy offensively, somehow seems to come in the clutch every once in a while.
-
Why does this lineup feel so much more human with the simple addition subtraction of Soto for Blanco? Also the horrible presence of Jim Edmonds corpse
-
Stupid stadium. That ball was much more well hit than his gamewinning homer
-
Good call, btw
-
Edmonds don't bunt Just don't Ugh I can't believe this slob is batting in the middle of our order.
-
Gosh darnit, 7 game win streak was nice. Why can't we have nice things? Oh and great the Cardinals are losing so we can't possibly gain any ground today, good job everyone
-
They've played exactly 0 games against Arizona, Atlanta, Florida, New York, and Philadelphia, plus they have 12 games left with us. Wellemeyer is about to surpass his high IP since he was a Daytona Cub in 2002, and Lohse, Piniero, and Looper were all awful in May. They have only 3 hitters OPSing over .800, Pujols, the super overachieving Ludwick, and Ankiel(another person who fell off in May). I think there's plenty of room for them to fall off. That makes so much sense. I badly want it to be true. The Cardinals don't live in our world, they have Bizarro Superman throwing batting practice and all of their trainers have strange looking beards that weren't there yesterday...

Todd Wellemeyer named NL Pitcher of Month (May)

No matter who is in the rotation. Someone buy me a jersey and throw me out there -
I would love to face them in the NLCS again I'd love to face anyone in the NLCS again :) Goodness that would bring back some bad memories. The masochist in me wants to face the Cardinals. The stathead in me wants the Phillies (lefty starters, low-K pitching staff). As opposed to the Marlins starters? I don't know how many of them I can even name. Somewhat moot, the Marlins probably wont be making the playoffs.

What would the Indians want with Pie? They already have one of the best young CFers in the game

As much as it disgusts me, Dempster delivering as well as he has is almost as unprecedented. EDIT: This still doesn't account for every other bizarro hitting and pitching performance they've had -
What is the big deal people, you gotta cut your emotions from something like this. It was a good baseball decision.
