Going For The Sweep: Cubs vs. Cardinals Preview, Sunday 7/25, 7:05 CT

PrintA win tonight would give the Cubs a 7-3 homestand, and put them over .500 for the season at home (27-26).
Sounds good, right? A sweep of the Cardinals would be their first since a four-game sweep from July 27-30, 2006. In fact, the Cubs swept the Cardinals at Wrigley twice in 2006. Think about that for a moment -- the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006, and the Cubs swept them twice. (They also got swept by St. Louis once that year.)
The problem with that being a feel-good story is that the Cubs lost two games during this homestand that were not only winnable, but nearly nailed down. The Cubs should be 8-1 on this homestand and thinking seriously about getting back in the race. Instead, they're 6-3 and only on the barest edge of hanging on, or instead putting up "For Sale" signs near many player lockers.
Whatever happens in the trade market in the next week, it would still be really sweet to sweep the Cardinals tonight.

Chris Carpenter is 10-3, 2.73 lifetime vs. the Cubs, including a win on May 28 at Wrigley Field. His ERA is up a bit this year and he's allowed a lot more home runs (15 so far, compared to seven all last year). A few of the Cubs do hit him well: Derrek Lee (15-for-49, .306), Alfonso Soriano (12-for-36, .333), and Tyler Colvin, who hit a pinch-homer off Carpenter in that May 28 game for the Cubs' only run.
Ryan Dempster gave up six runs in 6.2 innings to the Cardinals on May 30 at Wrigley Field, although, to be fair, one of those runs scored after he left the game. Albert Pujols hits him well (.310, 4 HR, 8 walks), but then again, Pujols hits everyone pretty well. The rest of the Cardinals are hitting .267 (44-for-165) against Dempster.
Tonight's game is on ESPN. Fortunately for all of us, since Jon Miller and Joe Morgan were both at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies earlier today, the announcers for tonight will be listenable: Dan Shulman, Orel Hershiser and Bobby Valentine. Most games today are over, but here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.

I'm as excited for this game as I have been for a game all season
"Brant Brown...DROPS THE BALL!!!!"
Normally a feeling that is followed
by a 4-0 deficit after two, for me.
Go Cubs! Get the Cardinal's goat again and then off to Houston for more wins!
Did I mention that I hate night games! They have the nasty habit of starting after midnight my time.
If the Cubs still have a chance, no matter how small, it’s still Go Cubs, damn the math and pass the KoolAid.
well weekend night games I don't like
not time zone issue just prefer day baseball

This will be a different game tonight.
And by that I mean the wind is reported to be blowing in 5-10 mph in addition to being a night game. I’d think that means it should be a low scoring game if Demp can keep from having 1st inning hiccups.
Please pitch well Ryan, we will need a strong performance against Carpenter.

A lovely story:
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.
The end
So how many homers will Pujols hit tonight?
I’m gonna guess 2.

But I would LOVE LOVE to be wrong.
At this point I am just enjoying the wins as they are happening. Not putting on weight on them. If it happens I’ll be giggy, if not I won’t be disappointed as we are just trying to enjoy the wins when they happen.

Valentine
Will he wear the mustache?
Pujols had been held in check for two days. Not sure we can do that three days in a row. I think Dempster is good for this one, though. Just make sure the bases are empty when Pujols is at bat.
A good first inning would go a long way as well.
Valentine makes my ears bleed but anything is better than Morgan.

50 Walks in 133 IP.
I thought he’d been better about that this year…
Things work out best for those that make the best out of the way things work out - Coach Wooden
130 Ks, though
~9 K/9IP is a little better than I expected for him.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
very true
it just didn’t feel like he’d walked that many this year until i saw his line.
the walks have always been my biggest complaint with Demp. Although its slightly less grating now that he’s not closing anymore. Walks in the 9th really make me nauseous.
Things work out best for those that make the best out of the way things work out - Coach Wooden
His problem this year has been the poorly-timed gopher ball
He needs either start keeping guys in the park late, stop thinking he can throw 120 pitches every start, or preferably both.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
I think that latter
but isn’t that also partly Lou’s call. Or does Larry have some say in it?

Lou to some extent
But it seems like Lou trusts his guys when they tell him “I can get one more, skipper.” He and Larry both need to look at how overused these guys are and maybe put together a pitch-count plan for them.

I give Demp credit for trying...
and when the bullpen was such a mess earlier in the season it was understandable. But I think you are right on.

Yeah
Thats been the biggest problem with the whole starting staff. They all seem to be left in the game one batter too long.

It's been especially bad with Demp
He leads the team in IP by more than 14

That and the first inning blues.
He avoided that last game and I think it will be key in him having success tonight.
