Cards threatening early. Guy on 3rd but 2 Outs.

Cubs sloppy on throws and it cost them.

Wow !

Yeah that was crazy, Baez had a double play, Cards just scored on a Wild Pitch anyways . Never know what you will get out of Lester now days  1-0 Cards.

[Jay Kirk]

Weaver was lights out in Spring and has been in season should be 3-0

[Jay Kirk]

He may be the ACE right now , very possible 20 game winner.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Baez with a Triple.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Lets see what Bryant can do?

A cold aided one lol sloppy all the way around both teams.

Yeah both teams cant field worth damn, Bryant just got a Hit and now 1-1. That could've been fielded though.

[Jay Kirk]

Good piece of hitting by Rizzo got jammed and still got it over the infield.

Nice to see, he's been injured and struggling.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was a big Out by Weaver striking out Contreras.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs lead 2-1 now, Kyle with a nice hit. Bryant can run so when he's on 2nd he normally scores on a HIt.

Hes not very sharp with his control today 

[Jay Kirk]

Lets see if the pitchers can settle in , or if cold weather dominates. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Weird game so far, both teams look sloppy. Will it be Great Lester today or Bad Lester?

[Jay Kirk]

In all honesty both pitchers could've been out of inning without sloppy play.

[Jay Kirk]

They are keeping Pham out for precaution.

Yeah it should be 0-0 I agree

Lester looking wild against Gyrko

Lester was a Great Pitcher up until last season. He is still Good but wild at times. Cubs got lucky that Bryant's groundball wasn't an Out. When these 2 teams play it really comes down to who gets the breaks because they are pretty even.

[Jay Kirk]

I'm ready for warm weather to see how these teams settle in , should be interesting.

They always played close games over the years lol in all their history over time 15 total runs separate them. Stop and think about that 

[Jay Kirk]

Lol broken bat base hit there is a break.

Yeah it's a huge rivalry, especially now since we finally won a WS . Cards have one of the best franchises of all-time so I have to respect that despite the rivalry.

Hey I will take it against the Cards .

[Jay Kirk]

Weaver missing location he will get a quick hook if he doesn't straighten out.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Cubs up 5-1 so far, looking good but it's early. A win today would put the Cubs at 8-8 and Cards 10-8. So this would be nice. It's so early anyway so who knows what will happen.

[Jay Kirk]

Allready the most hit hes allowed in a game

[Jay Kirk]

He usually attacks inside as well , have seen Yadi set up there but he has missed bigtime

Yeah it's crazy because I have watched some Cubs games where they cant hit anything in warm weather  

[2006Coltsbestever]

Pirates are 12-6 so far, they always throw a wrench in things. I had them as a sleeper team though. Our whole Division is Good except for Cincy.

[Jay Kirk]

Fowler better pick it up quickly or he will be riding the bench. Tyler Oneil called up for just that I believe.

I believe it will come down to these two teams . Overall talent much better.

[Jay Kirk]

Oneil was acquired for Gonzales from Mariners , RF hitting 388 6 hr 18 RBIs

[Jay Kirk]

Rated # 4 prospect 

 

[Jay Kirk]

The Cubs got to weaver early before he found control in strike zone , they have the upper hand . You cant count the Cards out with power up and down lineup. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Yeah I think Cubs and Cards both are the 2 best teams but BrewCrew and Pirates are respectable.

It's amazing how easily Heyward makes a catch look like that.
