Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 7, Brewers 4 – April 8, 2011

By Brett on April 9, 2011

Carlos Zambrano wasn’t particularly sharp, but, thankfully, Randy Wolf was even less sharp. And I thought this prior to his breakout performance, but isn’t it time to see Jeff Baker getting a start here and there against righties? Yes, I know this was a lefty he tore up, but let’s see what he’s got. Also…

      Does it mean “here are some “more” excellent performances or does it mean Ace wants “more’ such performances?

      It’s a combo of “more” and “roar.” It’s a nerdy Internet meme that is a self-consciously aggressive way of saying I’d like to see more of that.

      E.g., When Prince Fielder has finished a plate of nachos, but remains hungry, he might turn to his waitress and scream, “MOAR!!!”

        So, the opposite would be when the Cubs blow a 7 run lead in the 9th inning you’d scream, “NOMOAR!!!” Or, if Prince Fielder tosses his cookies after eating too many nachos you’d scream, “NOMOAR!!!”

          Exactly. Or if the Cubs trade for a big name shortstop to save the season and he ends up flopping, re-signing, and then injuring himself to the point that he never regains effectiveness. Then I’d say NOMOAR.

            It was only Nomoar after he came to the Cubs. Before that it was No-mah…

              No, that was No-MARR.

        Thank you – I’ll have to work that into my World of Warcraft chat.

    Wood may dominate with his new cutter. He looked great last night in spite of not striking anyone out.

    Anybody read Obstructed View? Whoever writes that thinks the Cubs should make Wood a starter again! I guess anyone can have a website. I read it just for the idiocy.

      I think they were joking – at least, given the idea, I’d have to assume they were joking.
