  1. http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hoZLeEfELUUl8o6ekehbedtgocHw Interesting. I guess the Cardinals are facing a lot of lefties coming up and they want him to get some ABs.
  2. Wasn't Shearn the old guy who made his MLB debut last year?
  3. I just saw the replay of Edmonds' home run, and as if by instinct I started getting pissed that he was sprinting around the bases as usual. Then I realized that he was doing it for us :(
  4. In one week we made up for those 2 pirates games we blew. This one, and the one on Wednesday.
  5. Now that the awesomeness has subsided a tad, we can all start feeling guilty that Jim Edmonds significantly aided the Cubs in winning a ballgame.
  6. If Kerry doesn't start out by mowing the first batter down, not good things happen.
  7. Please don't leave anything up. It's funny, i was actually able to do work the inning Marmol was pitching. Now I can't concentrate
  8. Little worried about the 9th, 3-4-5 due up, and they are still pretty solid. Spilborghs, Atkins and Helton
  9. Anyone watching on TV? Did many fans leave the game?
  10. Cubs up by 1 in the 7th and Marquis is batting?
  11. Where will the like-o-meter be now? He's gotta be at like -19% or so right now.
  12. So Jim, I will actually like you if you hit a HR here. Realize the significance of this and come through.
  13. Why can't we win this? If we get into their pen by next inning we have a shot. 9 outs for 5 runs and we need to shut them out, I don't think so, especially with the lineup we have out there right now. I'm usually never optimistic, but I trust Hoffpauir's bat right now and this team is definitely capable of a big inning. We need to shut down their O though. Well theres nothing to lose by being optimistic. At worst, we lose and we've expected that already. At best, we win.
  14. Its a bit over the top to call it horrible. Lieber can easily throw 3-4 innings regardless of what happens. But whats the point? Then he's unavailable tomorrow. Why not just let Lilly try to pitch out of it. My point is, I love that Lou manages to win every game. But once in awhile you have to accept that you're getting your butt kicked and try to look at the long term picture, which is getting Lilly on track and not overtaxing your pen. Is it that big of deal if Lieber is unavailable tomorrow? Why not get him some extended work? Getting Lilly out now will not prevent him from getting back on track. I'd like him to pitch himself out of his issues. But then again, if he's throwing 83 MPH theres no way that's happening.

  16. This is a horrible decision by Lou. Just accept a freaking loss, let Lilly try to pitch himself out of this mess.
  17. Just stop. I'm not trying to call you out Kyle, just the people who keep this going on. We get it, Lilly is batting practice pitcher today. I feel an epic comeback is coming today. And that epic comeback is the horrible green text!
  18. [Random obscure former Rockies player] just homered
