IST: Cubs vs. Cards

[TL1961]

The only spots you can upgrade is in the outfield.....CF particularly.

Where is Kenny Lofton when you need him?

Really??

 

[SilenceS]

Has this perceived emotion caused a misstatement of fact anywhere along the line? I don't think so.

:yep:

Bryant come up a couple times now with chance to drive in a run..
Good time to cash in here and add to lead

 

[chibears55]

Best way you wanted arrieta moving around bases..
Bunted to 2nd, walk to 3rd, walk home


Needed Donorfia to do better then K on 3 pitches though..

 

[Parade_Rain]

Double play by Castro. Nice! Get some runs

He sucks.

 

[JZsportsfan]

Need more production out of Russell, and Fowler to make the offense effective

 

[Diehardfan]

Really??

Uh, yeah.....really. If there was a Kenny Lofton type around that could come in and play about 60 games, hit .327 with an OB pushing .400 while playing a crackerjack CF....which is exactly what he did for the Cubs in 2003 when they traded for him mid season. I think that would work.

Especially when he looks at two hitable strikes and strikes out on a pitch that wasn't even close to being a strike. Probably is the reason he plays vs leftys most of the time.

Other side of the coin was a great disciplined AB by Soler to get walk-in run.

 

[chibears55]

Hello.. Arrieta about gassed.. anyone in bullpen?
Let not give this one away


Damn ump what ya lookn at..

And of course a hit follows. ... damn

 

[JZsportsfan]

SMH this isn't happening ..

 

[JZsportsfan]

Sweet

 

[Diehardfan]

Good Lord....I hate this team. Not only good but get every good break in the game...from the umps on out. But they're day is coming, maybe not this year but soon. It's the Bulls vs the Pistons all over again and these Cards will eventually go down just like the Pistons did.

Been hoping for that since the 80s..lol

 

[Diehardfan]

Anybody got a good feeling about a closer today?

 

[chibears55]

Good to see Fowler hitting and getting on base last 2 games, hopefully it a sign of good things to come

 

[SilenceS]

That was a bomb by Rizzo. The wind is howling in and he still got it oppo.

 

[CRM 114]

The offense finally comes through!

 

[Diehardfan]

Really. Did the wind change? Fowler's almost went out, too. I didn't think anyone would hit one out today.

I think its moved a little. Its blowing in from center. Early in the game Castro and Soler got into one and they died in the wind.

Enjoyable to watch the Cardinals fall a part for a change

Save some runs for tonight!
