And people wonder why we crack age jokes about him?

Caught a bit of a break on that check swing, but I'll take it.

If the Cardinals' scrubs would be willing to go back to playing like scrubs for the rest of the season, I'd be down with it.

Only on NSBB can I see "FFS" and figure out its meaning with very little effort. You're making me feel dumb, what does "FFS" stand for? For [expletive] sake.

Ryan Dempster just said he'd buy Culver's for Reed Johnson whenever he wants this year. That is awesome.

Why? I'd rather have them win the division than the Mets or the Phillies. I'd rather see them wiped from existence.

Whew.

Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come.

Guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

If you want to break out and hit like a maniac any time soon, that would be great, Geo.

Ay yai yai...

Plus Marshall falls off the mound to the 1B side. It's an easy call to make.

The problem with the hit and run is that the runner is not going at full speed. The runner has to look back and usually loses a few steps while going; it's not like the guy has a straight steal sign and is going full bore. Even if there is weak contact, there shouldn't be too much trouble for a SS or 2B to get the out at second and then get the runner at first. Plus, I disagree that Lee will make a lot of weak contact. Usually he hits the bad pitch with some authority and the ball gets to the SS/2B with relative ease.

I don't think 3-2 is really a true hit and run. At the same time, the Cubs should never run on Yadier Molina. There is absolutely no situation where it is worth it. He had Fukudome running on 3-1. People want to know why Lee GIDPs so damn much? Just look at the manager for your answer.

I'd like to point out that I wrote that before Lee whiffed.

STOP CALLING THE [expletive] HIT AND RUN.

I'm hoping he was thinking bunt for a hit there.

Jim Edmonds whistles, walks away slowly. Hurr Jim Edmonds takes it in the..... Oh, wait. We like him now. I've moved from active hatred to vague dislike. His showboating in CF with the Cardinals annoyed the hell out of me.

Anyone want to put odds on that making the Web Gems?

3 pitch strikeout on Khalil. Tee hee.

Nice walk.

Nuts.
