Cardinals Cardinals vs. Chicago at Wrigley Field Weekend Thread - Page 12

**BigRedChief** · 08-08-2008, 06:38 AM

I know you Cubbie fans got a a little thread going and we(who have won 10 WS since you have even been to one) have our own thread but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to talk smack about the this weekends series

Cardinals vs. Chicago at Wrigley field

1:20 p.m. today FSN Midwest

Braden Looper
RH
Record 10-9
ERA 4.29

Ted Lilly

2:55 p.m. Saturday KTVI (Ch. 2)

Todd Wellemeyer

7:10 p.m. Sunday ESPN

You think that eventually Tony would realize that Ankiel is awful in high leverage situations.

As I was saying...awful.

Fairplay · 08-08-2008, 02:40 PM

Wow, Cubs came that close to messing up that easy pop fly.

Iz2 has been much better offensively this week. He still gargles balls, but he's been passable this week.

I hate to say it, but Jose definately had a very weak arm

Hootie · 08-08-2008, 02:44 PM

There are a few on there with weak arms, for sure, but I'd say 50% of them have played a lot of 3rd base as well as 2nd base, and some shortstop...

And 3rd baseman, by rule, are suppose to have the strongest arms of the three...

Most of those 2nd baseman, like I said, played a whole bunch of shortstop in their careers.

Hootie · 08-08-2008, 02:48 PM

I am going to laugh when Edmonds hits a walk off...

fuck the Cardinals fans on here...I bet most of you live in the Kansas City area...fairweather fans.

And do you know why most of them were moved to second?

Lack of arm strength. If Shortstops are moved to third it's due to lack of mobility.

Dumbass.
