I saw that and got a chill down my spine. There are better options that is for sure.

I think Len and Bob

just mentioned the Ankiel injury.

Couldn’t tell but that’s what it sounded like

by northernsails on May 4, 2009 9:48 PM CDT reply actions  

Have not heard

What is this Ankiel injury you speak of?

by jajonez77 on May 4, 2009 9:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

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.

But it looks like it could be serious.

Gregg has almost a walk per inning so far this year.

Not too cool.

Another nice victory

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

Nice to have this one in the pocket before they face LIncecum tomorrow.

by Not Bruce Froemming on May 4, 2009 9:59 PM CDT reply actions  

Did they face him last season?

I remember when they rallied in the ninth to beat him in SF in 2007.

by Not Bruce Froemming on May 4, 2009 10:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

Nope, he was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA against us last year

Struck out 17 and walked only in 14 IP.

I just saw the articles on ESPN

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
