  1. it feels like the cubs have had a lot of OH YEAH GONNA RUN UP THE SP PITCH COUNT AND FEAST ON MIDDLE RELIEF games that somehow find us with three runs in the eighth
  2. he has been my fav non-rizzbro to watch of late * this is the new nickname for rizzo and bryant, use it all the time. they are the rizzbros.
  3. unless you really need k's, even the good performances against the cubs tend to be short because we run the pitch counts up so much
  4. that is a pretty nothing slider, i hope someone murders it the next time he throws it for a strike
  5. On the other hand, if Castro catches that with a bounce in his step, Jay probably doesn't try to take home. Not that I think Castro was deking him, but sometimes it's to your benefit to have the opponent think you're incompetent, because that was truly a horrific decision by Jay. Zero chance to score unless Castro threw it away. when castro pulls his jersey over his head mid-popup in the 8th inning, i'm blaming you
  6. i am sad the cardinals are doing that smart thing but happy it didn't work. also castro could probably anticipate that a little bit better next time.
  7. do thirty shots of skol vodka and call me in the morning
  8. You need MLB Extra Innings. Don't be surprised viewtopic.php?f=26&t=63034&p=3089709&hilit=arrieta#p3089709 D.A.V.I.D. ERROR REPORTING SYSTEM natural language has some issues here, could do a little more to hide the fact that it is a non-human when displaying such impressive memory get a load of the baseball musings thread where SSR remembered a post of mine from almost 4 years ago D.A.V.I.D. ERROR REPORTING SYSTEM this box of bolts gives me lip again and i'm dumping a pot of coffee on its motherboard
  9. lol. He had 1.4 over 468 PAs heading into this season. 1.9 in 93 now. also started out hot last year (.920 OPS in first half - 34 G) before tailing off (.637 in 2nd half - 50 G), but that may have been largely attributable to a lingering foot injury that kept him unable to play C will be really interesting to see how his season plays out yeah, he was pretty hurt for like the last three months last year but played through it and put off surgery until after the season. i like him a lot.

  11. He threw one inning with no hits, a walk and two strikouts What are strikouts? Are they as good as strikeouts? :D
  12. tonight was also an important developmental step for our young guys. it will quickly be ingrained in them that they can never win in busch stadium and should never try. even in future seasons with better and better teams, the screams of the ghosts of the cardinals' suicide-by-dui all-stars will be deafening.
  13. we got lucky early on cuz pittsburgs bats havent fired up yet. this years team is not as good a team as the record has shown. face it our hitting is streaky and overall our pitching is just alright. we might get a wildcard but not the division. i just dont see it. cardinals are to deep a squad. and they have some fcking amazing karma for some reason. There was a poster not long ago who posted in a quasi-haiku form. Who was it? And don't say LLF or WSR, because he never posted in haiku form. omg i can't believe this got by me is sontensei another incarnation of benny rodriguez aka neely crenshaw? oh god you're right
  14. you'd save and be ready to re-load before clicking SIM, though. the cubs will never get that chance.
  15. i will make a funny thread when the time is right tonight, we wallow.
  16. this game is everything you should need to see to never get your hopes up ever again. if you let the cubs hurt you, it's your fault, not theirs.
  17. the ross double switch is basically either maddon screwed up or soler is unavailable, right?
  18. it wouldn't kill us, but i do honestly believe it would completely cease to be fun during the games.
  19. i like jd's theories about the pitch-around there
  20. having a better team has never been/will never be enough
  21. that cheer was so confusing, i thought the guy on second must have stolen third when i wasn't looking
  22. never pretend the cubs will make you happy. all is not lost -- all never was.
  23. Unless he gets torched I imagine it's Rosscup until Holliday and then probably Rondon. yeah, i guess most of the happy scenarios here involve rosscup not throwing many pitches in the seventh.
  24. really curious to see what the eighth looks like if we somehow have a lead
