After going five consecutive series without a series win, the Cubs will snag their fourth series in a row if they can upend the Houstons.

Lineup changes galore this evening--Theriot hits leadoff, Fukudome moves up to second, and Hoffpauir gets his first MLB start (in left, not as a replacement for Lee at first, as we expected).

In putting together this post, I did a double-take when I saw that the veteran Chacon had started 9 games, pitched 54 1/3 innings and somehow had no decisions, but Baseball-Reference.com doesn't lie. Turns out Chacon has set a Major League record for starting pitchers by recording nine consecutive no-decisions to start a season. Why, he's the Switzerland of Major League starting pitchers!

Continuing on this international theme, if I could quickly think of a country that's been overrun numerous times in wars, I would say that's who Chacon is, vis a vis Aramis Ramirez, who is 10-for-17 lifetime against him with 5 HR, 13 RBI and a 2306 OPS. Ramirez, who was all but silent this past weekend against Pittsburgh, has been the biggest bat since the Cubs landed in Houston, raising his average 16 points with five hits, including a pair of longballs.

Young Gallagher beat the Pirates last time out for his first Major League win, allowing just 1 ER over 6 innings.

For Gallagher, that's two starts, one decision.

Shawn Chacon, take note.

wtf... pujols just took out bard. it looks REALLY bad. clean slide/clean play...ankle crushed.

Padres are boned if this thing goes about 28 innings. Pujols is executing two members of their team once every three innings. You're next, Kouzmanoff. Unrelated side note, Ray King is making his ESPN debut this evening, I believe. Spending some quality time on ESPNews with Linda Cohn.

it's weird...1 inning...about 10 minutes apart...pujols, without fault or malice, puts 2 guys on the DL. these are pretty much no-doubt DL injuries and one potential season ender (bard).

Weak. Gameday has video of scoring plays but none of the gory dudes getting maimed plays. What the hell?

The Bard play was there earlier..it was one of the scoring plays. I think Glaus hitting a single.

ESPN knows what the fans like. If you check out the video attached to their website's game recap, the only 2 replays shown in the highlights are the Young comebacker and the Bard anklebreaker.

Too bad the Padres dont play the Cards tomorrow, as they might take out Pujols for us. Well maybe they play them before we do so we can get a Pujols-free Cards team.

How the hell can we score a total of 5 runs in 2 games in that joke of ballpark against total crap starting pitchers?? One hit after the 2nd inning -- aaaauuuuggghhh! I hope this "win at home but not on the road" thing doesn't take on a life of its own. Crap. Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap. Crap.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/964326,CST-SPT-cubnt22.art… Re: Fuku batting 2nd last night ''I wouldn't get too excited about this right now; this is just today,'' said Piniella, who has called Fukudome a more classic No. 2 hitter than No. 5 but believes he fits the Cubs' lineup best behind Aramis Ramirez. Re: Soriano's day off Leadoff hitter Alfonso Soriano, who's 0-for-8 since being named NL player of the week, got the day off, in part to rest a left calf problem that has been heating up the last several games. Re: Z's neck stiffness More irritated by the suggestion that he might be hurt than by anything in his neck or right shoulder, Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano said Wednesday he's healthy and strong -- then flexed and smacked his, uh, forearm as proof. ''My shoulder's fine,'' Zambrano said. ''I'll show you Friday.''

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far.

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.

    PCA called up.

  • crunch (view)

    welp...

    bellinger...fractured rib.

    a not-very-ready PCA will probably be called up when it would be much better for him to be in AAA getting regular ABs.

    i have no hard data, but i'm seeing the same thing.

    there used to be some parks where that was rampant (colorado during the todd helton days comes to mind), but i'm seeing it all over the place the past couple seasons.

    I’ll spare the details which I’ve stated before but, in short, the Cardinals have lost their sight of their successful identity and strategy over last several dominant decades. From the beginning of the season I saw the Cardinals being in last place or near it again this year, and my prediction is that Mozeliak will be gone after the end of the season.

  • Bill (view)

    I would have kept Cooper rather than Wisdom, but at least I can understand why they did it.  In a team that lacks dominant power hitters, Wisdom can be a dominant power hitter, at least in streaks.  I suppose that there is always the possibility that the streaks longer in both duration and frequency.  I will be content if they essentially make a 100 % DH commitment to Mervis against righties and Wisdom against lefties.  When a regular needs rest, give them total rest, rather than a DH rest.  Do this for at least 2 months, and then re-evaluate at that point.

    This is Cubs adjacent but…


    Jordan Walker just was optioned by the deadbirds. For all the talk of the Cardinals development machine, they’ve really missed on a lot of can’t miss superstars lately. Walker has struggled. Gorman has been okay. They’re already trying to push Carlson out the door. Their pitching system has been so bad they had to go out and sign basically a full rotation over the last two offseasons.

    They’ve still developed a few of those pesky solid players, like Donovan, Edman, and Nootbaar. Their two best prospect to MLB players have been Adolis and Arozarena, neither of which is a cardinal.

    I hope they never figure it out again. Cardinal failure brings me such joy.
