Hahahhaha Oh My God. I bet he's one of those bat [expletive] confederate supporters. aren't they all?

Would you prefer dead cats? (NO WSR THIS WAS ONLY A JOKE PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS)

SUCK IT CARDINAL SCUM

In retrospect we really should have sold high on Castro when he had his first good season in 3 years in 2014

In our last 17 games, we've played the Cardinals nearly 5 times and given up 23 runs (4.6 runs per game) and played everyone else 12 games and have given up 15 runs (1.25 runs per game)

my god like the cardinals need any help

every game is pure pain

Jeez its crazy how pitching has dominated. I remember one year Jason Schmidt had an ERA under 3 and I thought that was just sick. Now there are 23 starters with ERAs under 3 and 3 that have ERAs under 2. I mention this because I saw Arrieta's ERA was down to 2.62 and thought that was great, but it would only be 15th in the MLB and 8th in the NL. The fact that the Cubs have 2 starters with ERAs at 2.89 or lower and neither of them were close enough to making the all star team that they are considered snubs is just insane for someone who grew up in the steroid era.

I have to keep reminding myself about how he got picked off first to end a World Series game. Makes me feel a little better about that little [expletive].

Yuck...

Cubs have scored 2 runs in their last 25 innings.

it's a commentary on the pathetic offerings from PTR giving the other team decaf and telling them it's regular is the new moneyball I would say sneaking amphetamines in there would be more effective. Suspensions galore!

Pretty upset that it appears none of the fans walking around knocked the cups out of their hands as they walked by.

I'm not sure was Stephen Curry in town or something?

Great moments in "Cubs have actually beaten the Cardinals in a Cardinal-like fashion before" history: June 2, 2006 Cubs 5 Cardinals 4 (14 innings) - http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN200606020.shtml One of the worst Cubs teams to watch in my lifetime, but one that was apparently built to beat the Cardinals, as they went 11-8 against the scumbags including a 3 game sweep and 4 game sweep at Wrigley and 2 out of 3 in this particular series at Busch Stadium. Sean Marshall opposed Sidney Ponson in this one (that's a name I haven't thought about in a long time). Jock got the Cubs started with a solo homer, followed by Juan Pierre, coming into the game with a .585 OPS in a much livlier run scoring environment, lining in RBI single in the 5th. Shitty players coming through? Yes the Cubs have done that to the Cardinals before! Following 4 Cardinal runs we hit the bottom of the 9th trailing 4-2. With 1 out (Pierre with a 4-3, imagine that) and a Freddy Bynum on 1st, Isringhausen talks the next 2 hitters (Phil Nevin and Barrett) to load the bases. Todd Walker is up and hits a ground ball right to the sure handed Scott Rolen to set up a game ending 5-4-3 double play and the Cubs lo- WAIT THE BALL TRICKLED THROUGH ROLENS LEGS HAHAHAHAH 2 runs score and the Cubs have tied it! Key error leading to a late inning collapse? Yep this happened to the Cubs vs. the Cardinals before! In the bottom of the 10th the Cardinals loaded the bases with 2 outs and Eckstein up. Surely that grit machine will hustle out a game winning infield single again Scott Eyre....nope, he lined the [expletive] out. In the bottom of the 12th the Cardinals again load the bases, this time with 1 out. Evil cat [expletive] LaRussa decides to let pitcher and future crash test dummy Josh Hancock bat. Of course, the [expletive] pitcher is going to end the [expletive] game with a [expletive] sac fly or some [expletive]. Nope, he strikes out. Eckstein comes up next with a chance to atone to the grit gods, but fails again grounding out to 2nd. Not coming through with RISP and less than 2 outs with the game on the line? Yes this happened before to the Cardinals against the Cubs! Finally in the 14th, Lucky Pierre doubles to lead off the inning against Josh Hancock, who is clearly stretching out his arm to be a future starter on Satan's team by pitching his 4th inning. After a Neifurious bunt (it was probably a full swing but because it led to a dribbler in front of the plate the B-R scorers assumed it was a bunt), Todd Walkaaa grounds out to bring the run home. Dempster closes it out with a strikeout of someone called "G. Bennett" and the Cubs win! See it can be done! The Cardinals can really lose in the same ways they always beat us - in the most annoying way possible. NSBB Game thread: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=32381 From a couple of pages of reading, I have determined we still obsess about the gameday weather, and we still bitched about Cardinal scrubs being stars. Yes this was 9 [expletive] years ago and it's only gotten worse. Never my friend. Never. Post-rolen error: Aaaand...I didn't (of course this ended up being one of the most annoying Cardinals teams ever who nearly blew a huge division lead with a late season collapse, but made the playoffs with an 83-78 record and suddenly went on a rampage to win the world series but we will have to ignore that for now)

Edwin Jackson almost gave up as many runs in one inning as the Cubs have allowed in the last 6 games prior to tonight.

Starlin now has a lower OPS than he did in his "we're trying to teach him to walk oh crap he's horrible just do whatever you want" season 2 years ago. A couple more bad weeks and he will be in the .500s OPS Of course every single hitter except Bryant and Coughlan has been patheticly anemic over the last 15ish games so Castro doesn't look bad in comparison. Seriously..Montero, Rizzo, Addison, Fowler...they like all fell off a cliff 3 weeks ago and keep getting worse if anything.

All this [expletive] is only going to make it sweeter when we surpass them

When are the Cubs going to not suck at offense again?

If the Cubs don't score 3 runs tonight, they will have scored 2 runs or less in 11 of their last 13 games.

I am pretty sure I died at some point and this is hell.

I'm willing to sacrifice 30,000 Cub fans to take out 10,000 Cardinal fans.

[expletive] the Cardinals
