so, pk still gets two days (in sept, so no big deal).
but cain, fielder, any number of other plunkers and general malcontents → 0?
i have no problem disciplining a guy for throwing near the head. i would like to see some kind of consistency, though.

Through 3 innings
Only 29 pitches thrown, yet 4 K’s.

Parra vs Lugo
First inning, a six-pitch steady diet of inside 4 seamers. Last pitch left over the middle crushed.
Second inning Parra tries attacking the outside with 4 seamers. Leaves the last two over the plate and gets crushed.
I’m thinking next AB will be nothing but offspeed.

this game makes me nostalgic
for the 2:00 game – before the DH, before TLR introduced single hitter / situational pitching changes, and before pitch counts, the game was played with a crispness that you youngsters can hardly imagine.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
Just realized this was a day game...
…and, apparently, Smoltzy’s stuff has looked just as good as his first two starts, if three hits through five innings can be trustted?
4 hits now...

Albert's due up 4th?
If this stays a one run game, and Albert gets to hit, we will win. That’s my prediction.
V, b.
Holliday with the game winner?
Cause I guarantee you Albert doesn’t swing the bat unless the bags are full.
You know...
…should I feel bad about calling this “Miller time” when we’re playing Milwaukee? Kinda seems like a conflict of interest, no?
Someone go ahead and hoist everyone's favorite flag please.
I want to see a big blue L.

The last time the Cubs gained ground on us was August 3
That means it’s been a full month since then

Okay . . .
three outs to get it done, boys
Do you remember Straight "A" tickets to the Cardinals game from way back when?
Miller has earned his extension
Oh . . . that sounds bad. Whatever.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
haha

I'm going to anticipate Albert being walked if Babe Ruth is hitting behind him -Holliday

I like this nickname for Kbot

Just signed on in Colorado
First thing that jumps out at me is we’ve out hit them 7-6 and gotten six walks and hit two HR’s and only have three runs!
Bases have been loaded twice
with nothing to show for it.

How about a Kbot walkoff?

Or Archville
for that matter. AT least the Cubs lost though.

That was
very ungratifying
Do you remember Straight "A" tickets to the Cardinals game from way back when?
but as long as Cubs don't catch up at all.. I am content at least. Keep grinding them down into nothingess
oh..you guys won..well we won too..oh we lost, well you lost too..
I just hate losing games due to our own failure...
more so than the other team beating us. Last Thursday and this Thursday would be wins with an adequate offensive performance.
V, b.
As long as we have the winning run at the plate
when the game ends, I don’t get too upset. Can’t win ‘em all, but it’s nice to have a chance to.
I do hate losing day games because it feels like a lifetime before we can avenge them.
Shut up, Fritz™.
Those hurt more to me...
You obviously want to compete every day, but it’s so much easier to brush off quickly when you’re down 5 runs going to the 9th. I think we’ve all just gotten a little spoiled lately. I know I have.
V, b.
I hate these day games during the week...
Feels like we lose every one, although it’s not the case.
V, b.
Well crap
not only was my day at work unproductive, we lost too.

No freakin' way...
But seriously, he would have looked like a tool if he didn’t admit to blowing up that 7th inning. I’m assuming that’s what he took responsibility for.
V, b.
gasp, they said "failure" and "Albert"

ok, I'm guessing there's no mix-tape during a loss
so I turn it over to you capable people. I gotta take care of some … stuff.

South Carolina fans are too focused...

And the game is in Raleigh, so those are NCSU fans

I'm late to the college football stuff
But I’m so stoked for USC’s (The good one) on Saturday. It’s an early game, 12:30, so I’m going to have to start drinking at like 8:00 AM, but I think Matt Barkley is going to be great here. Besides, he has 20 All-American runningbacks to fall back on
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
He better be great...
He was the #1 rated QB in the country.
I was kidding about South Carolina, they suck. They just don’t realize it.
V, b.
bcb cheers me, in a bad way.
on Soriano’s failboat:
Unbelievable.
Will he make it out of Wrigley?
from one of their twitts: PWSullivan Cubs fan tosses symbolic white towel over LF bleacher wall after Soriano gaffe. Security looking for towel guy.
save the gatorade!:
Muskat’s latest tweet
Dempster took his frustration out on water fountain in Cubs dugout, kicking it a few times
on… a fine ex-Cardinal:
ARE YOU KIDDING????
We expand the rosters and STILL this guy gets in?
We’ve just been Aaroned.
on Marshall to Theriot:
Somebody turn on the Benny Hill music.. this is so bad its funny.
but at least there’s a happy ending:
@PWSullivan: Sox fan injured by Milton’s broken bat has an ice bag on her foot, but no puncture wounds. Looking for Milton to autograph the barrel.

what a wierd game...
Skippy would have made a defensive play for a Cardinal win, Rasmus draws a walk and then gets picked off, Albert fails with the bases loaded and strikes out to end the game.
At least Glaus got a double. Welcome back Santa! Oh, and our magic number went down.
Guess you can’t win them all.
