So.
Anything new since these teams last met?
Of course, that's a silly question. Since April 23, when Greg Maddux salvaged the last game of the series in St. Louis, the Cardinals are 23-12, and the Cubs have gone 10-24 ... the Cardinals picking up 12.5 games in the standings, and currently have the best record in the National League.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is a pitching rematch of the Sunday night game at Wrigley Field on April 9, when Michael Barrett's grand slam off Jason Isringhausen won the game for the Cubs. The Cardinals are the first team that Marshall will have faced twice, so we'll see if that makes any difference. It's the same for Ponson; that April 9 start still represents his worst Cardinal appearance.
Phil Nevin will make his Cub debut tonight. The guy most Cub fans love to hate, Jim Edmonds, is expected to go on the DL before tonight's game.
Telling stats: the Cubs are 4-13 in one-run games. That's terrible. They are 17-6 when scoring 4 runs or more, only 3-26 when scoring 3 runs or less. GET SOME OFFENSE GOING!
Discuss amongst yourselves.

Cardinals
I hate the Cardinals more than any team we face. I hope we can steal two from them. My only wish would be to have Edmonds take a heater to the ribs but that isn't going to happen tonight.....damn.mrcubsfan - June 2, 2006
That 17-6 record is pretty surprising
I mean, most teams do well when scoring 4 or more, but if nothing else, it shows that when the Cubs score well, their pitchers help it stand up. I'm sure there are plenty of teams that have lost more than six games when scoring 4 or more.Of course, the fact that the Cubs have only scored 4 or more in 23 games out of 52 is pretty pathetic, so I guess there's always more bad this good, at least this season.
gauchodirk - June 2, 2006
Comparison:
The Cardinals are 30-5 when scoring four or more runs this year, and thus 4-14 when scoring three or fewer.Al Yellon - June 2, 2006
Even more comparison
I wanted to see what a mediocre team's record looked like, so I picked the 26-28 Brewers. They are 22-10 when scoring 4 or more, thus they are 4-18 when scoring 3 or less.Counting those games was tough. Is there a better way to do this that I don't know about?
gauchodirk - June 2, 2006
Not that I know of...
... I had to count them too.It's still relatively easy, since only about 1/3 of the season is gone. Try doing this in September! ;)
Al Yellon - June 2, 2006
One more comparison
The Reds, pretty much middle in the road in terms of pitching (16th in MLB in ERA), are 25-5 when scoring 4 or more, thus 4-19 when scoring three or fewer.gauchodirk - June 2, 2006
Go Big Smooth!
I love that nickname.Pujols is a nice guy. Maybe he will be nice and not hit any homeruns or anything for RBIs during the whole series.
I'm with ya, Al. They need to score some runs!
sparkles721 - June 2, 2006
Cubs will take series.
I really think the Cubs will take this series. I think they always seem to know that it is on when it comes time to play the Cardinals. They won't like having lost the last series and will remember the joy of sweeping them at home in April.If there's anyone the Cards can beat, it's the National League. If there's one team they can't master, it's the Cubs of the last few years.
Predicting Marshall goes at least 6 innings and gives up 3 or fewer runs tonight. And Glendon is going to shock us with a good outing on Saturday.
GO CUBS!!

Um
Walker is hitting cleanup? I don't get it.cubbiejulie - June 2, 2006
Well...
Ponson is a righty, so it makes sense to play Jones, who has hit righties well and has been hitting well lately. Walker has hit Ponson well (7 for 19). So has Cedeno (.750 - but only 4 at bats). Womack is hitting .343 on the year because of his production lately (shouldn't we keep using him while he's hot?). Don't want Nevin behind the plate until Barrett has been suspended. Where would we play him tonight? I don't think it's good to use him just because we have him.NC Cubs Fan - June 2, 2006

maybe we should keep looking to our AA starsNC Cubs Fan - June 2, 2006
not so fast
I think it's too soon to label Ryu a AAAA pitcher. He's still very young (only 22 or 23), he's only thrown THREE innings for the Cubs and this is actually his first season at AAA.I think he's actually on or ahead of schedule.
I feel better about him than most of our prospects.

throw early strikes and work quickly. He's doing neither.cubsbak - June 2, 2006
If I told the paper what my strategy was
for everyone to read, I wouldn't follow it eitherNC Cubs Fan - June 2, 2006
Right
Because throwing strikes and working quickly really tells a lot. maddux has been doing it for 20 years.cubsbak - June 2, 2006
Marshall may have given up 3 hits...
... but so far, the results are pretty good in two innings. No complaints here.Al Yellon - June 2, 2006
It looks to me like
he sometimes doesn't want to throw the ball. He's grinding it out tonight. So far.cubsbak - June 2, 2006
things getting better?
Did the Cubs just get someone out who was swinging on a first pitch!?This is great. Just maybe the Cubs are doing some things right (throwing runners out, taking walks) and some other teams can do semi-bone-headed things like not taking any pitches.

NC Cubs Fan - June 2, 2006
Agreed
but there was no risk. Taguchi was giving it to him. They weren't even gonna make the throw. And there are advantages: he could've scored on a wild pitch or passed ball or an error or an infield hit, etc. Didn't matter though since Murton bounced out.cubsbak - June 2, 2006

mabry.
or....Mabry? come on, this guy is from st. louis....he better stick it to his old hometown....if this is another bonehead dusty ph situation, I'll be pretty angry....coopergillan - June 2, 2006
for gods sake
we dont pinch hit or sac bunt in the 7thand then we pinch hit our most patient hitter with mabry- EVEN if it pays off its retarded managing
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
HOW
does this makes any sense!?ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
It doesn't
But that's our Dusty!VS - June 2, 2006
walked him....
RONNY! RONNY! RONNY!coopergillan - June 2, 2006
and if mabry
is on board why not pinch run with bynum to end the DP?!?ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
RARRRR
GOD!FUC*K
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
thats it
im done with dusty bakerhe has mismanged this game so badly
injuries be damned dusty CANNOT manage a major league game
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
How do you think Phil Nevin feels?
He had his big chance to try out excuses for new Busch Stadium, but Ronny blew it for him.TyWebb - June 2, 2006
Can I get a.....
.....hit? Or at least a sac fly--?southerncubbie - June 2, 2006
No!
you may not! Where do you think we are--on the south side?Now sit down.

Oh My God n/t
phatass - June 2, 2006
Thru 8 innings
13 hits + 3 walks + 1 error = 2 runstharr - June 2, 2006
mistakes
- Letting Marshall bat from himself only to pull him
- Not sac bunting with womack with runners at 1st and 3rd
- pulling murton for maby
- not pulling mabry as for a PR
hell you even could have pinch ran bynum for Ramirez and put neifi in-- were 20-31 for gods sake take a shot at tying the gameksucubbie - June 2, 2006
Number 3...
pisses me off the most!koramcub - June 2, 2006
ugh
wow, I just don't know what to say. a double play. worst play for this situation. man!coopergillan - June 2, 2006
That sucks.
He had a chance to make up for getting picked off, and he didn't do anything.sparkles721 - June 2, 2006
Mabry
DOESNT EVEN PLAY LF-- so why is his slow ass on the bases?you could have stole 2nd with pierre in the top of the 7th, you could have bunted with womack, cedeno and pierre 3 of our fastest guys
its just too much for words
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
My guess is that
those chewing sticks are slowly but surely poisoning Dustbin's brain.elscorcho0682 - June 2, 2006
its just too much
i dont care if his players like him he makes poor lineups, plays washed up vets and CANNOT make a single strategic move that helps usif they extend him....
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
You are...
on fire! Let it all out!BTW, I'm agreeing with all of you points.
koramcub - June 2, 2006
oops..
I meant your points.koramcub - June 2, 2006
Are we
coming close to Neifi time? Or will it be meaningless with Williamson on the mound. He hasn't pitched for 10 days. Good choice Dusty.tharr - June 2, 2006
The top of the ninth
will be all PHs.Neifi.
Bynum.
And Ryan Theri...oh wait.
Blanco.
elscorcho0682 - June 2, 2006
Of course it will be Neifi time!
It's his birthday, remember?sparkles721 - June 2, 2006
A Birthday presnt
for Neifi would be a trip around the world for 2 leaving right after the game. And he has to take Dusty with him.tharr - June 2, 2006
oh and
murton leads our team with 4 game winning hitsbut i guess we needed a left handed veteran
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
Novoa?
Awesome! We've got this game locked up for sure.elscorcho0682 - June 2, 2006
Seriously, at this point
why even bother wasting the pen?VS - June 2, 2006
Novoa got the out
He gets a cookie.elscorcho0682 - June 2, 2006
at the very least
the cardnials announcers are bashing dusty's movesthank god someone states the obvious
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
They...
must be having a field day.koramcub - June 2, 2006
and why the hell
are we still placing jacque and a-ram 5-6thwith a righty on Jacque should bat 4th or 5th
FOR THE LAST effing time
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006

is the ONLY move i likePhil Nevin time baby

That wasn't a great way, but he's faster than Mabry. For what that's worth.gravedigger - June 2, 2006

I would of preferred him doing it without getting Mabry out, but I digress.sanantonecub - June 2, 2006

btw David AAARDDSSSMAA is looking like the real steal in that hawkins trade-- AMAZING heat
ksucubbie - June 2, 2006
I think those are all good and valid points.
routinepopfly - June 2, 2006
Send Bynum to steal second base!
routinepopfly - June 2, 2006
Good idea I think, even if it didn't work
routinepopfly - June 2, 2006
Man, Bynum is fast
If he knew how to hit then he would be somewhat useful.VS - June 2, 2006

That's what it looked like to me too

Damnit Freddy....
Couldn't beat the throw. To the bottom of the 10th...sanantonecub - June 2, 2006
Freddie Bynum Is A Lot of Things....

Dempster?
Aardsma?phatass - June 2, 2006
Dempster I think
Didn't Bynum bat in Aardsma's spot?sanantonecub - June 2, 2006
Aardsma's still in?
OK Pat's talking this up.phatass - June 2, 2006
I want
an explanation!But it can wait until after we win this thing.

Not talking this up.I should have said "explaining the defensive changes." I was typing in a hurry.

I'll answer later.
But as of right now, I'm under the impression Walker is gonna homer and we will win it by throwing 9 straight strikes afterwards.sanantonecub - June 2, 2006

Dempster.phatass - June 3, 2006

doubters and cynics....
need to realize that the cubs always show up against the cardinals. it's a fact. they will take this series but then have to decide whether they want to show up the rest of the season....GO CUBS I AM SO HAPPPY THEY WON TONIGHT!!!?!?!!a1 YES!!!!
coopergillan - June 3, 2006
This is a big win
I should go to the local batting cage more often.Hell, I even made contact, more than I ever did in little leacgue.
phatass - June 3, 2006
who knows?
maybe tomorrow, glendon will pitch the game of his life. it feels like the worst of the season is over, even though they're entering the toughest part of the schedule. a win like tonight helps restore a little optimism.jrm78 - June 3, 2006
