Cubs season HR pace: 47
Soriano XBH/GIDP: 0/3
Bryan LaHair PA/game: 2.6
Soto/Clevenger TB: 12/14

Good win yesterday. Didn't see that one coming.

2. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 02:24 PM (#4114837)

I didn't see it at all. Given what happened in the Hawks game, I was wishing I dropped the 49 cents on the Cubs ticket instead.

Castro SB/E: 7/7
SRS: 15th in NL
Season pace: 48-114

So...you don't need to even touch the plate to be safe anymore, let alone beat the tag.

5. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 08:42 PM (#4115221)

What tag?

6. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 09:08 PM (#4115260)

UPDATE THOSE STATS BRIAN!

7. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 09:19 PM (#4115271)

I don't know who Jesse James is, but...yeah

8. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:45 PM (#4115395)

Marmol sucks, but you won't beat the Cardinals very often with just one run. Stewart and Barney had embarrassing at-bats in that second and third, no out situation.

9. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:53 PM (#4115401)

LaHair!

10. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:53 PM (#4115402)

I ####### LOVE YOU BRYAN LAHAIR

YOU HIT HOME RUNS FOR THE CUBS

11. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:54 PM (#4115403)

I was just coming in to say that Michael Bowden looks like he'll fit right in with this bullpen when LaHair hit that thing.

12. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:54 PM (#4115405)

Of course Mitch Williams is on MLBN telling the viewers that Jason Motte should have been in the game no matter what.

13. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:56 PM (#4115406)

LEfty to lefty is really the best matchup Dale can do?

14. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:59 PM (#4115407)

Probably figured since it worked for LaHair, might as well push it. Baker really should've batted for Stewart there.

15. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 10:59 PM (#4115409)

RAlly!

16. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:04 PM (#4115412)

And those three strikes are why Mather isn't a starter.

17. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:09 PM (#4115416)

Yeah, Mather looked over-matched.

18. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:11 PM (#4115418)

IF this game was played 10 years ago I would predict Rob Neyer writing a column about how Matheny did the caveman move of sitting his closer down once the tying run scored to "save" him once they regain the lead.

19. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:12 PM (#4115419)

Damn, Russell looked filthy that inning.

20. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:14 PM (#4115423)

Isn't Russell the only Cub pitcher to not allow a run?

21. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:15 PM (#4115425)

Well, him and Bowden.

22. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:19 PM (#4115430)

Uhhhh, ok.

23. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:28 PM (#4115434)

Soriano needs to start hitting if he doesn't want to ride the bench when Rizzo comes up.

24. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:29 PM (#4115436)

I can get used to this beating the Cardinals thing.

25. McCoy Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:30 PM (#4115437)

Cubs win!

26. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:30 PM (#4115438)

Wow, some bad breaks for the Cards in this one.

27. SouthSideRyan Posted: April 24, 2012 at 11:31 PM (#4115439)

[23] He did go 3-5 today.
