Wouldn't it be nice, if the Cubs could return the favor, and kick a little Cardinals ass, the next few days?

Lester needs to go out there tonight, and pitch like a $155 million dollar man. How about a complete game, 3-hit, shutout? 0 walks, 10K's.

A Man Can Dream. Just Don't Get Any Speed Runners On Base.

$155 million.
And he cant throw a ball to 1st base.
Unreal.

I'd still like to know how this was completely and utterly missed on his scouting report FOR THE LAST FUCKING DECADE! Why/How did it just become a discussed issue this season??

A no-hitter thru 6. Castro grounds into a dp with a runner at 3rd & 1 out. Then 2 runs for the Cards very next half-inning, all resulting from an infield hit and an error.

This is why they win World Series and we don't.

fucking cards have been small ball champs since i was a kid. i fucking hate vince coleman, jack clark and willie mcgee to this day.

As much as I hated them as well, they were awesome on Tengens RBI Baseball. And don't forget Tommy Herr.

Always gotta make it interesting in the end. Yeah, I know we won, but 14 LOB is ridiculous! That's damn near an average of 2 left on base per inning..which means a RISP per inning. PLATE THAT SHIT!! Thank goodness Arrieta was true to form or the 'W' flag might not be flying today.

First double-header sweep of the Cards since Pearl Jam only had one album in their catalog! Cards can't handle the Beeler-Teagarden Express! Nine games over .500 and if we were in the East or West, we'd be leading either division.

Still some issues to fix but damn this team really gets me when they're good!

lolobugg

Heading down to ATL to catch the game against the Braves on July 18th and 19th. Gonna be awesome to see all this young talent.

Rizzo vs Bryant in the HR derby finals!!

pureoc

Can we throw anyone other than Strop? You cannot lose that game. Of course it's a roider (stl specialty) that beats us.

HesCalledDyer

You have 2 outs, ahead of the batter with a 1-2 count. You have a chance to take 3 of 4 from the Cardinals. You have a chance to finally be 10 games over .500 (the only team that hasn't managed that feat at any given time during any of the last 7 seasons. Yes, even the shitty Padres, White Sox, and Astros have climbed that mountain, not us though!)...

THROW A GOD DAMN JUNK BALL!

Not a fucking home run derby pitch. Fuckin Strop. Stupid worthless piece of shit. His ass needs to be banned from baseball for life.

No idea, why they throw him in pressure situations. He's proven he can't handle it.

Heeeeeeeerrrrreeee's Jhonny!!!!


And really? You're gonna call out the Cards for having users? Your history would be even sadder without the juice.

HesCalledDyer

Because of Sammy Sosa? He made the postseason twice. Try again.

Well gee... That's the exact same number as the Cards with Peralta and McGwire. And those guys showed they could be pretty damn good without it.

HesCalledDyer

And the Cards making the postseason twice with juicers has exactly what to do with the Cubs history being more sad if we didn't have Sosa?

It's just pretty hypocritical to point out that the Cards have had a juicer or 2 when about the coolest thing to happen in the last 100 years, with the Cubs was done by a juicer.

HesCalledDyer

Hey I didn't point it out Besides, Sosa was exciting for about 6 years in the late 90's/early 00's. Last 100 years or even the last 20, just a blip on the ol' Wrigley radar.

I'd beg to differ on mcgwire.

I'm no McGwire fan, but didn't he hit 49 HR's in his Rookie season?

HesCalledDyer

He did indeed, cutz. Those 49 HR led the league, too. I will say for McGwire, at least he had the guts to admit taking andro while everyone else was running with their tails between their legs. And at the time of admission, it was not illegal in MLB nor was it federally classified as an anabolic steroid.

Sox-Cubs this weekend. I used to get so excited for these series, but now it's just kinda whatever. I'm just happy the Sox are playing well lately so hopefully they don't get embarrassed all weekend.
