4/26 Marlins (Olsen) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 PM WGN TV

[otis89]

Keep on winning, you pathetic bunch of losers!

[roadster]

This will be our first time facing Olsen, who rooted for the Cubs when he attended Crystal Lake South High School in the suburbs. Here's hoping for the "returning home" jitters.

 

Holy Guacamole, Batman. CLSHS can't be more than 3 miles from my house. We definitely gotta beat this boy like a rented mule. !!

 

Fred, we're neighbors...I work in Elgin (passes through Algonquin everyday to work) and live in Crystal Lake.

FYI for everybody with DirecTV and MLB EI -- the game will be broadcast in high def on channel 95.

[Big Fergie J]

4 in a row today !

 

Go Cubs !!

 

I still hope the game time temp is looowwww....

[rawaction]

This is Guzman's 3rd time in 4 starts this year facing the Marlins franchise. He was 1-1, with 5 shutout innings the first start and 7 ERs in 6 innings in his 2nd vs. Albuquerque.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

We suck. Win again, jerks!

Well, I certainly hope you wave as you're passing through. It's the neighborly thing to do, no? :wink:

[Tracer Bullet]

Plenty of sweet seats still available for the game. Just did a search, singles in Club OF, UD Box right behind home plate second row, TR IF right behind home.

 

Plus its a value day!

 

Oh to not have a job...I'd love to be at this game.

[da bears]

Thanks Fred! Go Cubs!

[C.C.]

Let's make it 4 straight!!!!!

Wind blowing in or out?

I'm worried about Dusty playing his bench a day after night game. Wonder what the lineup will be...

[Mizzou]

Anyone know if any of the current Marlins have faced Gooz before?

There were doubles available in club box infield last night. I'd be tempted to go if I wasn't going Tuesday.

[Mark_R]

Many tickets are still available.

[Garwilly]

Many tickets are still available.

 

 

Get a job.

[Pistolcub42]

I'm pretty excited to see what Guzman can do.......

 

 

I'm thinking 6ip, 5k, 3h, 3w, 2r

[thunderbird]

I assume Barrett will be out of the lineup today... day game after a night game, plus he appeared to hurt his hand sliding into second base last night.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Murton has definitely faced Olsen in the FSL in 2005. Abercrombie and Uggla should have faced Guzman in 2004 too.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd be there, but I couldn't get a flight soon enough.

Cubs Game Notes

 

In addition, Chicago is looking to sweep two of its first three home series to start a season for the first time since 1989.

 

The last time the Cubs had two pitchers make their Major League debut as a starter in the same season was 2002 … Mark Prior made his debut May 22 vs. Pittsburgh and left-hander Steve Smyth made his debut August 6 at San Francisco.

 

Cubs starters own a 1.29 ERA (3 ER/21.0 IP) over the team’s last three games … that comes on the heels of a stretch when Cubs starters lasted an average of 4.1 innings over the team’s previous four starts.

 

CLUTCH HITTING: The Cubs lead the National League with a .315 batting runners in scoring position (47-149) … Chicago ranks second in the National .450 mark with the bases loaded (9-20).

© The Cubs are hitting .357 (15-42) with runners in scoring position over

six games … that stretch followed a 1-for-11 streak with RISP over April

18 at Los Angeles.

© Yesterday, the Cubs were 3-for-4 with runners in scoring position.

Line-ups?

[BeerHere]

Go get em Gooz! Keep the ball down, limit the free passes and rely on your stuff. You've worked your whole life for this moment, go after them early, make them hit your pitch and show everyone what you can do. All the rehab, all the training, all the days in the minors, you deserve this opportunity. I'm behind you, NSBB is behind you, the fans are behind you and the organization is behind you.

 

 

I'm proud of you kid. Go get em.
