He didn't exactly hit it to left, either.

didn't mean for it to sound that way.

No reasonable human being would cheer an injury even against their teams biggest rival. He took two steps out of the batters box and grabbed his calf and fell to the ground. Had to be helped off by two teammates.

Yahoo says he left the game with a calf cramp. That would be great news but it sure as hell doesn’t look like a cramp.

by smmcctrk on Jun 10, 2008 8:31 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He's pitching way above his head.

And the Cardinals pitching staff looks a lot better than it is thanks to their superb defense. Defense isn’t going to keep his home run rate this low, though. I expect him to blow up, and probably sooner rather than later.

but we’ll see how much depth the Cards have, if they have to fill in for Pujols for a while. We thought we were gonna hurt when Soriano went down in April, but it didn’t turn out that way.

I really do think Marmol deserves a shot there, and if Lee picks it up in June he’ll get in as well.

by slcathena on Jun 10, 2008 8:42 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't think Lee will make it...

You have to remember that every team has to be represented so Adrian Gonzalez will take up one of the 1st base slots as the Pad’s lone representative. Then you have Berkman and probably Pujols (unless this injury is significant). I don’t think they will take 4 1Bs even with the DH. Hope I am wrong…

by smmcctrk on Jun 10, 2008 8:45 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Didn't they take four last year?

And leave one on the bench when Pujols might have ended the game. (Not important to the Cubs, ultimately, but still…)

Lilly is a good pitcher sometime and not so good some as well

but our offense helps our pitchers out a lot, the pitcher know that they have a chance to win the game everytime they pitch which is good, and this will lead in to what pitcher everyone wants to pick up or trade for
