You are truely a pimp.

 

Let's hope G-Unit pitches better then Z did today...

[Derwood]

Let's hope the wind is blowing in from left at about 75mph or Rusch is gonna get bombed.

Cubs ruffed up Arroyo last year when he was with the Red Sox, I like the cubs chances. Lets just hope they can build off this game and start the season with a winning streak. Go Cubs

GLENDON RUSCH SIGHTING!Idea stolen from another NSBBer. They put Bobby Hill.

Prediction: Lets see... Cubs have had good success against Arroyo in limited ABs... and Rusch has kept Reds to an okay control at .252... But there are still hitter such has the Gold Glover Adam Dunn, and Ken Griffey that could turn the day around with one swing. I wont take a chance at it. TIE.

Prediction Record: 0-0-2

[bring stone back]

Arroyo looked unbelievable last week in his only Spring start for the Reds vs. the Red Sox.

 

We'll see, but I do not like Glendon's chances of getting out of the 5th in that park against that team.

[baseball7897]

Watch out for Dunn Tomarrow.

[B]

Watch out for Dunn Tomarrow.

 

Wednesday maybe?

[baseball7897]

Yeah Wednesday

[Omar]

Hey I know this game is on both CSN and ESPN... and obviously there will be blackout restrictions... But is there any chance of Steve Stone?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Here we go Cubbies!

 

Rusch goes 6 solid. Cubs win 7-3. Murton goes deep again. More Cubs fans fall in love with Red.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

We are awesome.

Let's go overboard with our optimism there, eh?

[Flames24Rulz]

ew, I don't like Dunn's stats against Rusch..

 

oh well, here's hoping for a 2 game sweep and a 2-0 start to the season!

Where are the worthless stats of the day?

[UBlink]

As I recall Pierre's initial leadoff AB gave the Cubs an OPS of 4.000. The team couldn't keep it up.

Yeah, come on Cubs! Take the two game series. When was the last time they did that? It seems like they win the opener then almost always drop the next one. Well, maybe just for the last four years anyways.
