vs. StL -- vs. Cubs

Adam Wainwright missed two months on the DL, came back in August, threw pretty well and then got hit hard in his last start vs. the Pirates. His only start vs. the Cubs this year was a no-decision on May 2, a game the Cubs won in 11. (Who's that guy who started for the Cubs that day? Never heard of him.) Aramis Ramirez is the Cub who likes to hit Wainwright the best (7-for-19, .368/.455/.684, 3 doubles, a HR).

You all know what Z did in his last start. The Cardinals are one of the teams he throws best against: 9-5, 2.77 in 21 lifetime appearances (20 starts), though they beat him up pretty good on August 9 at Wrigley Field, even though Z homered in that game. Albert Pujols also homered in that game (and so did three other Cardinals), but has only a .250 lifetime average vs. Z.

I was the same age as the kid in Pet Sematary when he was reading it, and I happened to look up at him and it unnerved him so much he had to put the book down.

It doesn't get any better than Santo

I was able to watch the first few innings yesterday before me and some buddies took of for our golf round. Fortunately we did not forget our radio/cooler. On the Sixth tee box I was able to hear the two quick outs but by the green Geo stepped up and smacked the home run. All of us started going crazy on the green along with Santo going completely ape shit. Huge Win and a great round on a beautiful day. It doesn’t get much better….except for October!

My friend is always challenging me and we challenge each other. I have fun with song titles for my Cubs related emails.

So she has thrown me a curveball. She says “You have to use a Brittany Spears song for when the Cubs win the division”

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, “Hey, I haven’t seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!”
“What do you mean?” the pirate replies, “I’m fine.”
The bartender says, “But what about that wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I’m fine, really.”
“Yeah,” says the bartender, “But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really.”
“Oh,” says the bartender, “What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes.”
“Well,” says the pirate, “One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye.”
“So?” replied the bartender, “what happened? You couldn’t have lost an eye just from some bird shit!”
“Well,” says the pirate, “I really wasn’t used to the hook yet.”

Just giving you a hard time.

I was thinking Al’s comment in the game recap about the Shark and possibly being left off the Postseason roster (if we get there) was premature. If he has a rope like Bob Howry he will get at least 1,223 more chances

"Bring On The Major Leagues" Stephen Malkmus

by graceunderpressure on Sep 19, 2008 11:38 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well, to answer your question...

…yes, he probably would have been labeled “fine” if DeRo had made that play. Samardzija did walk Counsel just before that, but I believe Counsel is generally considered a fairly patient hitter. Beyond that, the Shark induced four groundballs in his outing – the last two just found holes. (Granted, Durham’s was pretty hard hit.)

I’d say the answer lies somewhere in between – I don’t think Samardzija was awful by any means, but his control wasn’t as sharp as it should’ve been. And I agree with Al’s point that Lou probably should have brought in Cotts to turn around Durham. Nonetheless, it was a little frustrating to see people on the game thread jump all over the Shark.

Is that relative to crowd noise?

because I’ll tell you right now… it was a heck of a lot louder and crazier when Soto hit that HR, than it was when D-Lee won it. After Geo hit that, nobody sat down until the 1st out of the 10th inning.

By the time D-Lee won it, we were so exhausted from cheering through Geo’s HR and all the drama in extras, that we didn’t have the same amount of energy at the end.

Ryan Theriot

Has anyone noticed that Ryan Theriot either double-pumps or takes a crow-hop before every throw to first base? Yesterday, Joe Dillon nearly capitalized on this by beating out a ground ball that might have led to a Brewers run in the top of the 12th inning.

That's the one case where the scrap hurts him. The crow-hop

tends to counteract the scrap and you get a kind of whirling action. Hae has to be careful not to screw himself into the ground.

I disagree

if you measure the tork that is caused by the intensity of scrap displaced, it actually will drive him upward not downward, therefore instead of screwing himself into the ground, he is propelled to the stars

Actually, depending on the direction of the wind

and the tilt of the earth’s axis, the crow-hop and the scrap can combine to form a force so great it shoots him completely out of the the park and onto Waveland Avenue.

The scrap is a force with limitless bounds. It has been

know to move entire planets to other solar systems. Only the natural force field created by Theriot’s chessy mustache keeps the scrap from destroying our world as we know it.

Soto just left Wrigley after BA...

Hand was a little sore & swollen. They said he tweaked it a little yesterday before the big HR in the bottom of the 9th, so it’s not serious, just precautionary- he’s going for x-rays. Not in line-up today.

Think of it this way...

It was swollen and tender before he hit the 3 run HR, and he stayed in the game until the 12th. So, it’s not that they think it’s bad, they are just being cautious… He would probably be starting if this game really meant something. Don’t let it ruin your day bro.

Probably won't block Al today.

Per previous thread I was sitting directly in front of Al and stood up when Lee batted in the 12th and trust me I NEVER stand up DURING a play but I just felt it.. Can’t imagine anything that would get me to do it today as I think it is something you save for a VERY, VERY special occasion ( sorry I will NOT be sitting in front of Al tomorrow ).

I really , really want the Brewers to win tonight. A. I don’t want to have to go back to Wrigleyville tonight as I have other plans. B. There is ANOTHER baseball game tonight starting at 9.40 that is VERY important to me and I don’t want the interuption.

anyone else see Lincoln Insurance commercials during cub games?

they have a local commercial that runs here in the north burbs with this gal wearing a pair of boy shorts and her ass hanging out of them. She’s got something written on her shorts and there’s a guy dressed up like Abe Lincoln with googly eyes. “Eagle Man” quality production. Amazed she was the best dumper they could find to advertise on.

Q: Remember last year when Lou put you in the rotation for about 20 minutes and then took you out? Was that the whole beginning of your re-transformation into starter?

RD: Yeah. It was amazing as a starter last year how unhittable I was.

Q: How often do you ride your bike to work?

RD: Probably two days a week. The other five, it rides me to work.

OT: Meeks plans Cubs playoff protest

I don’t think this has been discussed:
Rev. James Meeks plans to move his school funding protests to a national stage, ringing the outside of Wrigley Field with 6,000 protesters during the first Cubs playoff game. LINK

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

No, it's on topic.

Man, that guy has a good cause but picks the strangest ways to be heard.

And he just can’t win the public opinion outside his ward.

Obviously he's never been to a playoff game at Wrigley

There won’t be any room for him

Oh, based upon what I've seen,

he’ll make room.

Makes perfect sense. Protest school funding at a baseball game.

well...

he might get some more TV coverage that way. But how will we tell that those particular people are there for protesting, and not the game?

What good would National TV coverage do him?

People all across the country have their own problems with their own education systems. I don’t think they care to involve themselves in Chicago’s issues.

I’d say it’d be about 20-80. Eighty being he wanted to get another Canadian. Any time you can add a Canadian to your team, you’ve strengthened it. I heard they’re trying to get Bill Murray, a big Cubs fan, to talk to Mike Myers about signing with us.

I hope he lives forever

I bet he'd be better

than Mark Grace. But I’d think he’d be the color guy. More like Brenley.

He probably wouldn't do PBP.

He’d be an analyst and, yeah, a pretty good one, I’d guess.

I worked at a theatre when that movie was out

and would hear that soundtrack play over the credits five or six times a day.

Ugh.
