I would much rather them be aggressive, and maybe get gunned down a couple times, than to sit back, and not really take any advantages. Hell, I get pissy when they jog into 2nd base on a double. A-Ram could have gone to 3rd tonight on the bobble, if he hadn’t jogged over from 1st.
I think there will be a ton of second guessing of TLR and Duncan about trying to stretch him back to a starter role so quickly after TJ surgery. Many experts thought he was at most ready for a relief role in 2008.
If this injury is serious, there will be lots of second guessing going on. I am not sure how realistic it was to expect him to go more than 40-50 pitches in an outing this year. I just hope the guy is OK. He sure has had his share of injuries. That should have been considered when they were being so aggressive with Carpenter’s return and role.
From the Cardinals’ standpoint, they may have felt as though they wouldn’t make the playoffs without Carpenter, so they were willing to take the chance.
NIce way to wake up this morning…...get on the treadmill in the Gym, run my 2 miles, and watch cubs highlights while doing so! Nice to see they won, would have loved to see the suds lose, but oh well, not much you can do about that. Howw is it though, the cubs seem to get all the hard teams and the suds seem to get the trash of the NL? Guess it’ll come down to september and the cubs beating the heck out the brewers for the title. Wonder what ol fat boy fielder is going to say or do then.
The olympics are all over AFN here, and a lot of people were watching so we got some of the results in the morning briefings. That had to be an incredible race to watch last night. Glad the USA won. Stupid Frenchies…...there’s a lot of talk as well about how China wants to upstage the US and win more medals. Let’s hope the same thing happens a chinese choke!
First!

One Thing I Didn't Like: Us Getting 2 Guys Thrown Out at 3rd in Same Inning...
it shoulda been like 10-0 after that inning… coulda hurt us. Neither play was close either.
nervousCUBlover - August 10, 2008
I like the agressive play though..
sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t…
Bump Bailey - August 10, 2008
I liked only 2 LOB
nervousCUBlover - August 10, 2008
I agree
I would much rather them be aggressive, and maybe get gunned down a couple times, than to sit back, and not really take any advantages. Hell, I get pissy when they jog into 2nd base on a double. A-Ram could have gone to 3rd tonight on the bobble, if he hadn’t jogged over from 1st.
Jimsil - August 10, 2008
As Much As I Like "Go Cubs Go" - I miss "Get Down Tonight" after a win

flachimesa - August 10, 2008
they do on St. Lou
Shanghai Badger - August 10, 2008
thats unfortunate...
i DONT wantt he brew crew to make th playoffs
preachermancubsfan - August 10, 2008
Agreed -- they could be tough with CC and Sheets
Shanghai Badger - August 10, 2008
think sheets
can make the rest of the year??
preachermancubsfan - August 10, 2008
Well, he's still pitching
Good question, tho. It is his contract year . . . my guess is he stays out there.
Shanghai Badger - August 10, 2008
Perhaps for the off-day tomorrow
I can put this tape in and enjoy beating the birds again.
DeRoMyHero - August 10, 2008
Im only going to get
15 seconds of highlights on Sportcentre at about 1am.

Carpenter...

And it might not be that bad..
triceps soreness is what’s being reported.
Bump Bailey - August 10, 2008
Anyone else notice,
NATS 4, BREW CREW 5 (12 innings)
TWINKS 4, KC 5 (12 innings)
cowsarecool220 - August 10, 2008
Brewer game went 13
Shanghai Badger - August 10, 2008
oops, must have misread it
cowsarecool220 - August 10, 2008
s'alright
The Nats are BAD…Brewers tried to give that one away. Hopefully they’ll be just as bad in Chicago.
Shanghai Badger - August 10, 2008
Doesn't Dave Kaplan work for WGN?
How can he also work for FOX?
Seems to be a conflict.
Although he also does work for CSN, but that is partly owned by the Tribune Co.

What a finish in the 4X100 men’s freestyle relay! USA the gold by a nose!

That was one awesome race! I was yelling like I was watching my 50-1 shot coming down that stretch at the track! Screw those arrogant Frenchies!
Itchy - August 10, 2008
That was one of
the best races I’ve ever seen. The looks on the French team’s faces was priceless. We were screaming our heads off.
