4/14 Cubs (Marshall) @ Pirates (Santos) 6:05 PM CSN+

[otis89]

The Cubs suck. However, at 3-8, the Pirates suck even more. Think you can actually beat a team that has a worse record than you do? I didn't think so.

 

P.S. If the Cubs manage to win this one, I won't be able to start Saturday's game thread. You guys can fight over it.

i got dibs.

 

Go Cubs, lets start a new winning streak.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Losing sucks. Let's not do it again.

ever!

[Andy]

Our pitcher is better and our offense is better (assuming ARam is back).

 

So naturally, we're going to lose.

[Banedon]

*sigh*...gotta figure out what the heck channel CSN+ is for me...

[Derwood]

play like you got a pair....and no lineups with 4 bench players please

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez should be back on Friday. Jones will be out until Monday.

Not doubting you, but where did you hear this?

Pat & Ron on the pregame show today.

 

edit: maybe it was Kaplan, I'm not sure.

[C.C.]

Is it tomorrow yet? :wink:

And it was mentioned by the beat reporter on the Score after the game today.

[Coach C]

Please do not lose, especially to the sucky Pirates.

[Brian]

Doesn't Santos usually shut us down?

[baseball7897]

I really dont understand this team at all. One day they play like a 90 win team, the next day they play like the 2000 cubs. After sweeping the Cards you would think they have so much momentum that they would carry it over to the next series and duplicate what they did against the cardinals.

what bad pitcher doesn't shut us down?

[baseball7897]

Flames im starting the thread saturday.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Flames im starting the thread saturday.

 

He's talking about if we win, since Otis won't be able to continue his duty.

[baseball7897]

Look "The time is now, you cant see me the time is NOW"

[Andy]

Is it tomorrow yet? :wink:

I'm with you, very eager to get a new game going after today's debacle.

Noteworthy Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs. Victor Santos (Righty, 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in 2006)

I really hope Ramirez is playing for sure.

Some things to note:

-Michael Barrett is 2/19

-Derrek Lee is 3/18 but with 2 of those hits being HRs.

-John Mabry is 1/7 with that hit a HR. Maybe thats why Dusty wants to give him the nod?

-Juan Pierre has a home run against Santos. :shock:

 

Noteworthy Match-ups (Pittsburgh Pirates) Vs. Sean Marshall (0-0 with a 8.31 ERA in 2006)

No Pirate has ever faced Marshall in the regular season.

I also just realized that, should we win tomorrow and Saturday, I will probably not be able to start Sunday's thread either.

i'll start that one too, provided we get that far :wink:

 

shouldn't be getting ahead of myself though...we have to win tomorrow first.
