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.
-
For the record: I like KyleJRM Also I don't ever plan on starting a game thread, too much pressure, that and I'd probably forget.
-
Thanks Edmonds Woop, the best way to score a run strikes again
-
If he swings I'm killing him
-
There may be nothing in baseball that infuriates me more than not getting runs in this situation. Giving up home runs on 0-2 counts get close, I guess
-
why why
-
Ugh. Please Soto, make sure we don't mess this situation, I can't stomach more bases loaded no outs no runs I've put up with enough of them in my life.
-
Ugh. Is there anything we can do to just make the Cardinals go away? Anything at all? Playing better teams? The Cubs haven't had a tough schedule, but I think someone posted a breakdown showing the Cards have the easiest schedule in baseball. Al Hrabosky takes offense to that and thinks the Cubs have played way too many home games for their own good. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have played 1 less home games than the Cubs. LoL. Yeah, but lets be honest now people, the Cardinals need to start losing games, and hopefully in heartbreakingly hilarious fashion. Lets see them blow the lead today. (They Wont)

Interesting Trade Proposal
BigSlick replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I was kidding around with my friend who is a Royals fan that he should give us DeJesus because...well the Royals suck and we deserve a left handed bat that can play good centerfield Didn't think it could be a realistic proposition. Any chance we can actually get Joakim Soria to boot? -
Yeah I really don't like calling them Super Cubs, I'm pretty sure we lose on a heartbreaker now
-
Thank god a terrible pitcher for the Cardinals actually is terrible for once
-
Marquis and Jim Edmonds are immediately DFA'd everything else is gravy
-
That sounds like you're tempting fate. I'd leave the Cubs as Cubs, no reason to claim more than they deserve right now.
