Cards losing 2-0.

Okay, Kosuke has earned his oxygen. The rest of you, not so much.
-
I know, really. It's not like they have more come from behind wins that some teams have wins overall... What's our offense like away from Wrigley?
-
OMG11212!@!@ HE HAD A BAD INNING!!! MY WORLD ISD FALLINGAPART!! It wasn't a bad inning, he's just young.
-
When you consider his age and experience, this is actually a good inning for Gallagher.
-
Superballgame.
-
Fold the franchise.
-
Ballgame. And with tomorrow's starters, series.
-
Eckstein is the bad hitter I least like to see up against the Cubs.
-
Must there be moaning at every first pitch swing? You have to sometimes. It's not good strategy to take them all.
-
That's hideous. Can we forfeit and save the pen?
-
Remember when Soto was a good hitter? That was fun for a little while.
-
Are you serious? The ball was almost to the infield as Lee hit 3rd. He would have been caught in a rundown. I'm just listening on the radio. Hughes thought Lee was going to go, then acted surprised he thought. Bases loaded. Hooray!
-
Lee holding at third with two outs? Unless the catcher already has the ball, I hate that.
-
I wish there was a site that reliably measured all out-on-basepaths for players. Theriot has to lead the league.

Everything you do changes your odds of winning a WS both this season and in the future. This season, we are almost certainly going to the playoffs, and barring injuries we will do it as one of the better teams in the playoffs. Our odds of getting to the WS are at least 25%, probably a bit higher. How much does a single extra player help our odds of winning two or three short playoff series? How much does a lost prospect effect our odds of making the playoffs in the future? There arguments are silly, because there's no general rule about "future" vs. "now," just a balancing of various odds. Of course we'd all give up the future for a WS this year. But we don't have that choice. We have the choice of a slightly better chance this season vs. perhaps slightly lower chances later.

If they called that consistently, McGwire would have lost his 62nd home run in 1998.

Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Hairyducked Idiot replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Why's that?... You, or anyone else, can bellyache & whine about Piniella all you like. I had no sense of what Zambrano's career batting average is.... I just know he's now hitting much better than the posted career stats. He's hit better in a very small number of at-bats. Predicting that a player will perform well in his current at-bat because of his last 30 is a bad way to predict, and you'll be wrong more often than right (as Piniella was). -
Incredible call. Italians have their excuse making assuming this is scored... No! Saved!

If Philadelphia holds on to its 3-0, 9th inning lead against Florida, we are 6.5 games clear of the wildcard. -

Hairyducked Idiot replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
so stupid, lou. thank god for Jim Edmonds. :vomits: i don't know. i mean, z isn't much worse, if at all, than most of the bench guys. plus he's a switch hitter. cox had a lefty and righty ready to go, so it wasn't THAT ridiculous of a move, even if he did get pulled directly after. He's got a career 52 OPS+. He's fun for a hitting pitcher, but he is that much worse than the bench guys. -

Ballgame. -
29-8 at Wrigley. Seriously. I'm not even make that up.
-
Question: Wasn't Edmonds' home run a basket shot? Should those count on 1948 day?
-
I thought Edmonds had been saving up the switch-hitting secret for all these years, waiting for the right time to unleash it. #-o
