was that a backup slider

Welley got McLouth with?

Gameday says it was a changeup. 7’’ vertical and 7’’ horizontal break. NASTY

I'll never defend McLaughlin again

He just said that he likes Tal’s Hill.

Would've been nice

if the Giants would’ve completed their comeback today.

Harden would have seen his bullpen blow a 7 run lead to lose the game. “Welcome to Cubs baseball.”

Did you see the finish of that game?

About three weirdnesses in the final inning—all in the Cubs’ favor, and not one an umpiring decision. Blame fate, not the umps.

some bad pitchers we are facing

hopefully it translates to the better ones as well

geesh, wake up Troy,

there’s a reason they teach you to only go half way to a base on a fly ball

northern hemisphere summer

Mornin' akaitori

Klosters still taste like formalehyde? Fun game so far and Welley’s elbow didn’t explode as feared.

Klossters still abound, but I rode the Singh train last night - amongst other activities. . ..

The slider

That we weren’t seeing at the start of the game

by cloistermaximus on Jul 12, 2008 9:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Gotta be honest...

After that first inning, I didn’t think Welley would make it through six with a two-hitter. Well done, Colonel.

Nice inning, Feared that it might be DLemeyer today. Glad Col. seems to be Wellemeyer

Good one

if you accept the idea of dunc in this lineup,

and i realize that is a big if for a lot of posters, why hit him in front of yadi, rather than in the 7 slot? it preserves the L-R-L-R pattern, and I’d rather see yadi hit ahead of dunc right now.

by tom s. on Jul 12, 2008 9:07 PM EDT   0 recs

Tony must want

Yadi’s speed in front of the pitcher. Don’t want to bunt into a DP.

listening to pitts announcers

seems like they might have a spot for reyes

no! Reyes will be involved in a deal for bay!

I have no interest in Bay

Don’t see how he improves up. Either MIF with pop, or a strong bullpener.

Grudzalenek=3.6 WARP
Kennedy=1.4

anybody watching the TV, is there anybody in the bullpen for the cards?

curious if they test the colonel’s elbow here.

If we hold on and win this game, how weird will TLR make the lineup for Sunday.

I’m guessing no Pujols or Ludwick for sure and probably no Molina (just to give stache a game and a 4 day break for Molina)

I hope they play Kennedy at first and bat him 3rd!!

by hoofhearted-pujols on Jul 12, 2008 9:16 PM EDT   0 recs

he'll play all his starters outside of Molina

it’s the last game before the break
