Often times, a pitcher has the advantage the first time around because the hitters don’t know what to make of him. Let’s not forget that O’Malley kid that the Cubs threw out there against Houston a few years ago.

Not to sound ungrateful for the 2 runs . . .
. . . but over the course of the past few years, the Cubs must lead the league in runners left at 3rd with less than 2 outs
I bet they're not close
and if it seems that way, its because this is the only team we follow cloisely.
They led the NL in runs last year. If they also stranded the most on 3rd, it must mean they put a LOT of people on third.

stop ripping on Lee's defense
Rip on our offense, it has been TERRIBLE with men in scoring position. We all saw this coming.
No it's not....
Giving up a lead is totally believable when Z starts letting his emotions get the better of him. It’s his achilles heel.

what's your point?
Seriously? I clearly don’t get it. You’re not concerned about the Cubs play? Thats you right, but I am concerned and the way the Cubs are playing they’re going to be 5 games back of the Cards come the end of this weekend.
and?
it’s APRIL 17th, and it’s what, the third inning?

it has nothing to do with the game being over
the point is we should have been up 5 or 6 to nothing and knocked out their joke of a pitcher. Our offense doesn’t know how to finish things off.

Booooooooooooooo
there are very few players on this team offensively, fielding, pitching who are executing with any degree of consistency. I’d say, remarkably, Fukudome has BY FAR been the most consistent hitter. I don’t think anyone else in the entire lineup has looked good at all.
Top 3rd recap
Brian Barden walks, no outs, first walk by Z today.
Pitcher PJ Walters stirkes out with a foul bunt. One out. One on.
Skip Schumaker singles up the middle, Barden to Second. One out.
Colby Rasmus infield single with a close play at 1st. Bases loaded one out.
Pujols hitting .391 with bases loaded. flies out though to Sori. Barden scores. 2 out. score 3-1 Cubs.
Ryan Ludwick homers. Hits a hanging Slider. Score 4-3 Cardinals.
Duncan Singles. 2 outs.
Molina grounds out. 5-3. 3 outs.
Strikeouts-1
Walks-1
Hits-4
Runs-4
Errors-0
LOB-1
