4/9 Cubs (Marshall) vs Deadbirds (Fat Drunk) 7:05 ESPN

[Jehrico]

Well, it's a Sunday game. What are the chances that Dusty rests all of his starters today? :D

 

I mean, they have been so overworked already, only having days off on Tuesday, Thursday and tomorrow.

 

Good point...anyone have the starting lineup yet? Considering that we're up 2-0 in the series, and Dusty doesn't like to show opposing teams up by keeping our starters in to go for the sweep, this just might be a forfeit lineup behind Marshall in his MLB debut against our hated rivals to close out the first home series of the year.

 

G**, I hope not...

Man, I hope that is not the case. If a manager puts out his forefit lineup on a National TV (ESPN), then he should be run out of town. There's no excuse to put out a forefit lineup, considering that the Cubs had day offs on Tuesday, Thursday and another one Tomorrow.

To get into Sidney "The Brisket basket" Ponson head, I think the Cubs should play "Eat it" by Wierd Al Yankovic.

[Coach C]

Pittsburgh beats Cincy 5-3.

Houston beating Wash 6-3 in the 7th.

Arizona beating Brewres 4-0 in the 7th

White Sox beats Royals 3-1.

[Flames24Rulz]

anyone with any lineups yet?

[Rob]

No lineups yet, but Bartolo Colon left the game in the 3rd inning after giving up 8 runs.

Man, he got hammered hard.

Yeah, I was listening to it on the radio. It sounded like the Yankees hitters were just zeroing in on the ball the second it left his hand.

[David]

Ponson's gonna get hammered tonight.

 

Hopefully, the same thing happens in the game.

[srbin84]

Ponson's gonna get hammered tonight.

Well said.

[Rob]

Hopefully, the same thing happens in the game.

 

Oh! Thanks!

 

I forgot I needed to throw my beer in the fridge.

[fulldeck]

I'm still trying to find out if there's any truth to the rumor that several Cardinals took Ponson to McDonalds just to watch the numbers change.

 

That is so wrong, but so funny at the same time.

Who you think you is?

[baseball7897]

Does anyone know the lineups?

[Vinestal]

Anyone know if the XM feed will sync with the ESPN feed? I really dont want to have to listen to Morgan talk about how great the Cardinals are and how the Cubs are doomed.

Does anyone know the lineups?

 

And a weather report?

[Yeti]

i dont know, but i can tell you that even if its pat and ron on XM, they will be several seconds behind a live television feed making it a bit difficult watching TV and listening on XM

 

on second thought, it should be pat and ron on XM, they always use the home teams radio broadcast

Hmm I do have DVR so I guess I can pause the TV and let the XM feed catch up

[Omar]

Hey, are they going to let people go under the bleachers for the knothole? OR will they make them stay out all season?
