I think Len and Bob
just mentioned the Ankiel injury.
Couldn’t tell but that’s what it sounded like

Have not heard
What is this Ankiel injury you speak of?

ran head-first into the wall

He was catching a fly ball and ran head first into the wall
Couldnt get his hands up to brace

Ankiel overhustled in the outfield...
and now he might be looking at a trip to the DL. Worst of all, the Cards signed him to pitch, not chase balls in the outfield.

Dumb unnecessary play! Ankiel is a hitter...nothing else. He should know better than to try something like that!

Gregg has almost a walk per inning so far this year.
Not too cool.

The Cubs took what they were given, and Dempster pitched a great game.

Did they face him last season?
I remember when they rallied in the ninth to beat him in SF in 2007.

Nope, he was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA against us last year
Struck out 17 and walked only in 14 IP.

I see that Z is going on the DL….I’ve tweaked a hammy myself, and it’s no fun. I do hope Ankiel is ok though. I don’t like seeing anybody get hurt and have to leave the game like that
