A good team on the road. We should be in trouble. Our bats were great last night, they need to get on Weaver early.

Dodgers 18, Cubs 1.

Soriano 0-5 with 5 K's

Cubs down 9-1 in the 9th when Kevin "sling blade" Gregg gives up 9 straight homers.

i'm pretty sure our season ends with this series... actually i guarantee our season ends with this series.. we need to start thinking about next year.. and a complete retooling of this organization once the Ricketts family takes over.. and i mean everyone gets fired upstairs.

Quoted for the off chance the Cubs make the playoffs and win the World Series.

The Dodgers haven't been playing well of late and we have some favorable pitching matchups in this series. I bet we split or take 3 of 4.

Well so much for the Dodgers being in that slump. The Cubs are the perfect recipe to get out of it.

So much for the Padres being worldbeaters. 4-0 Cardinals on a Brendan Ryan grand slam :rofl:

Kosuke homers! 1-1.
Of course a guy who hits 5 homers his entire career is going to hit a grand slam.

We're really hitting Weaver hard thus far.

cold5 · Post #12 » by **cold5** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 2:40 am

Baker doubles. Baker has really become one of our best hitters. If somehow we get into the playoffs, that trade could look a lot better.

Why do teams walk Koyie Hill in front of the pitcher? I'd rather face Gorzo than Koyie Hill. Plus, if/when you get Koyie to strike out looking, the pitcher leads off the next inning.

Well, seems like Blanks really is the real deal. His hr makes 4-1 Cards.

If only Gorzo faced the Pirates and Reds every start

cold5 · Post #16 » by **cold5** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 2:53 am

2-1 Dodgers on a Furcal single

How has Gorzo been bad so far? we still have seven innings left. People on this forum thought Dempster was bad two days ago, so I guess we have tremendous standards for pitchers.

Cheap hits ftw

cold5 · Post #19 » by **cold5** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 2:56 am

Good one Ryan. This guy really sucks at short.

SportsWorld · Post #20 » by **SportsWorld** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 3:07 am

Jeff Weaver has nothing tonight. Hopefully we keep hitting.

2-2
