I like the score

but what is up with all the runners getting thrown out trying to take too many bases?

by LT on Aug 10, 2008 9:04 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Its Cedeno, expect nothing else

I’m just listening on the radio so I didn’t see the play, just assuming its a Cedeno moment.

One quibble: Don't make first or last out at third

Which is precisely what he did.

Not a big complaint … he’s done well overall … but I really wish he’d avoid that screw up

by cocknfire on Aug 10, 2008 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

My personal feeling is that a rule that hard-and-fast...

...probably ends up costing a team runs in the long run. There is real value in getting to third, and being too conservative can cost you the same as being too reckless. I don’t know where the breakeven point is, admittedly.

New idea for a fun reply post.....

Again….living in St. Louis, I see TONS of t-shirts with anti cubs slogans (perhaps you have seen some St. Louis boneheads wear them in Wrigley this year). What I would like to know is, are there some nice anti-cards shirts for sale up in Chicago? What do they say? Are they funny? Last year someone referenced a shirt that said “cardinal fans like it in the pujols” Gawd I wish I had that shirt. So…what have you got?

Six runs up, why not let him sit and get the pen some work. We do have an off day tomorrow.

"Aramees"

I have a memory from a few years ago (I think it was when Len first joined the broadcast booth) where Len (?) said that he had been talking to Aramis and was told that “Aramees” IS the correct pronunciation, and that he would try to do it from then on. I guess that fell by the wayside though. Am I the only one that remembers this?

He was very fast when he first came up.

He was overweight when he reported to ST last year (one of the reasons he ended up in Lou’s doghouse), so he didn’t run as much.

I would HAVE to pick Ryan Dempster.

Just a sloppy game all around…errors, bad lines in the outfield, stolen bases. I’m thrilled the Cubs are up, but this isn’t a game that should be sent to Hall of Fame.

Am I the only one that finds this hillarious?

From MLB.com:

When the Rockies acquired Hernandez from the Twins off waivers earlier this week, they believed he would be a significant upgrade over struggling pitcher Kip Wells, who was designated for assignment on Sunday. It now appears to have been a lateral move.

Hernandez, who hadn’t pitched to live batters since July 30, was sluggish from the start. The Padres’ first four batters all came around to score in the 32-pitch first. Hernandez (0-1) gave up five more runs off two towering home runs in the third before being pulled.

A chorus of boos taunted Hernandez as he exited for the dugout. In 2 2/3 innings, the former World Series MVP gave up nine runs on seven hits and walked four.

that it was against the Padres make it go from funny to absolutely hiliarious

They just had one amazing hot streak. Unfortunately, that led them to believe that they were a better team than they were—hence the lack of moves to strengthen the team in the off-season.

My husband went to Ames to the game last year and there was an 11 year old in their group. After the game on the way back to the car some really great Clone fans came up to the 11 year old and said to him right in his face, “F*^k you and your Hawkeyes. You suck.

Made the last out of the inning.

For defense you’re probably better off swapping Johnson for Edmonds in CF, but in three innings I don’t know that it matters that much. (Well, obviously it matters if a play gets missed, but…)

Big ass button

For those that might not know, this image above is a big ass button you could pin to your shirt. My Dad had one at our business behind the counter for over 20 years.

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball. `Mickey Mantle, 1970

Wood looking good was a huge relief

after the blister and the back strain. Marmol is keeping up his post-ASB dominance, and Samardzija continues to impress. Not to mention Dempster. Nice game all around.

What’s up, all? Just wanted to lend my voice to the happy din. I’ve been lurking for the last couple innings. I didn’t post out of some odd fear that, if the Cubs blew the lead, it would somehow be my fault. Anyhoo…

Yeah, lotsa crazy defense in this one.

I listened to the first six innings on the radio and then watched the last three with the sound down and the radio still on. It was almost like ESPN was the instant video replay of Pat and Ron’s show. It worked out, though – nice, solid win.

If you all want to know how bad Carp's injury is....

Check out Wainwright tomorrow.. He was suppose to only throw around 30 pitches for Memhis to get ready for Closing. If Carp is seriously hurt, I suspect they will change that plan and stretch him out.
