I am going to be crazy to say this, but I still think of the Brewers as bigger threats than St. Louis. My best outcome would be the Cardinals to take 2 of 3. I didn't say cheering. -
Welcome back Ted Lilly! 7 IP 3 H 1 ER 10 K!
-
Ok, he didn't hit anyone with the first pitch, that's a good sign.
-
Even though the heart of their lineup is up, if Woody blows this lead, you have to start considering other options.
-
Career .297 vs. Righties. Just saying JK
-
Fuku is 1 for his last 15, and has just 1 walk in his last 11 games (43 PA)
-
That is one heinous lineup we ran out there. Wow. Soriano Theriot Fontenot Ramirez Jones Pagan Moore Kendall I remember watching that game but I don't remember having a lineup that nightmarish. That was when the Cubs were on fire too. It was the game that turned Jacques season around.
-
That is one heinous lineup we ran out there. I remember Lou describing it as his "contact lineup" at the time
-
Maybe the game will turn out like this one...the last time I expected this pathetic of a performance offensively: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200707200.shtml
-
The Cubs aren't very good offensively right now.
-
Soriano is quite the run producer, eh?
-
I'd say its about an 11% chance. This is his BA (.180) minus the number of IF hits or weakly hit balls that end up as singles that won't score DeRo.
-
Another hit and run?
-
Umm so Reed is bunting in front of the pitcher....because...?
-
Did he take out Haren in the process?
-
Fastest pitch I've seen from him today was clocked at 86. Yay? Why isn't this more of an issue like Z's velocity was last year?
-
Is Lilly's velocity still a concern? What's he throwing at these days.
-
I can't foresee a scenario where we ever beat the Diamondbacks again.
-
What's the scouting report on Haren. I am embarassed to admit I haven't watched him pitch a lot. Does he have a sinker or splitter because he seems to get a lot of gb outs?
-
OK, so this is weird. My friend recently went to Costa Rica for 3 weeks. When he left the Cubs were 1-3, while he was gone they went 13-4, and since he's been back, they've gone 5-8. Recently, we've been joking about telling him to leave the country again. But lately, its gotten worse. When he watches the Cubs, they do horrible. When he doesn't watch them they usually win. In fact, the last 3 Cubs games he's watched, they've won. The others, they've lost. But its even getting worse than that. On Wednesday, he turned on the game in the bottom of the second....first pitch he saw... HR. Then...another HR. 2 more to follow. He turned off the game right after that, but to no avail. Today, this is the following online exchange we had: UMfan83: not watching the cubs game? Friend: no Friend: how are they doing UMfan83: must be why they have retired the first 2 batters without incident Friend: woohoo! Friend: ok im turning the game on Friend: just as a test Friend: WTF Friend: WTF Friend: ARE U ****** KIDDING Friend: THE FIRST PITCH I SEE, HOME RUN Friend: THIS IS SCARY Friend: can you ****** believe that? Friend: the damage is done UMfan83: i hate you Friend: this is the SECOND time that has happened Friend: i turn it on, first pitch homerun So umm...sorry about my friends guys...

Looking at the DBacks lineup, only 2 regulars are hitting over .275.
-
Oh darn, you mean I don't get to watch him K 3 times today? Nope. Instead you get to watch Reed Johnson put the lightly put the ball in play over and over again... maybe going 1-4 (a single, of course, as Johnson has no power) in the process. I've ripped on Pie a bit this year, but geez. He only has two 3 K games in his entire career.
-
Tidbit from the DBacks blog:
-
I never really understood why some guys have drastic home/road splits. It's easier to hit when everyone is chanting your last name every time you come up to hit?

Sure can you send it to me back in 2006?
