5/4 Cubs (Hill) @ Arizona (Cruz) 8:40 PM WCIU/WGN-720; XM188

[Master Shake]

At least in the next inning the "heart" of our order is up.

 

 

 

 

 

I can't believed I posted that with a straight face!

[E.J.]

Yes. Now we get Rusch. The game just gets better and better.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I don't know about any of you, but I sure am glad we gave up Pinto, Nolassco, and Mitre for Pierre.

[E.J.]

we might as well keep guzman, hill and marshall. i would rather be bad and young, than be bad and old

 

Seconded. Rather see Hill and Guzman suck than Rusch.

[Derwood]

are the Cubs fun-bad yet?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rusch in to pitch for the CUBS

Tracy flied out to left center field

Yes. Now we get Rusch. The game just gets better and better.

 

Being that I have Tracy and Jackson on my fantasy team, it's about the only enjoyment I can get with having him in.

Yeah...before too long we're going to need to save that money and pay people to watch...

 

 

This is not worth me losing any more sleep...have a good one guys.

The Marlins have scored 110 runs after 25 games. Cubs have scored 112 after 26.

 

I like young and bad better than old and bad, too.

If baseball teams were movie directors, Ed Wood would be embarssed byt the Cubs.

You must have missed my post earlier. I definitely think this team is fun to watch in that, it is interesting to see JUST how bad they can get and they keep getting worse, and how they do it in every conceivable way possible.

Prediction:

 

Cubs lose 8-1. Hill goes 5 innings, giving up 6 ER on 9 hits. Cruz pitches 7 strong innings. Aramis continues to suck. Pierre gets a couple hits.

 

You heard it here first.

I wasn't that far off at all.

 

Hill = AAA pitcher.

[cheapseats]

Billy Williams is in the crowd.

 

A friend of mine who's a Cubs fan got him to sign a bat for my newborn son back in August.

 

I will, of course, forever like Billy Williams.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Fearless prediction...Rusch throws 4 scoreless innings tonight. Hill gets sent back to Iowa and Rusch is re-instated into the rotation.

[cjbucks]

OK........... I got some beer. I think I can tolerate the rest of the game.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Medders in to pitch for Arizona

[Master Shake]

Took my anti-depressants.

 

 

 

I wonder if I can send the bvill for my meds to the front office.

Wouldn't surprise me. Hill Blows in the majors.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ramirez singled to left field

Prediction: At this rate, I will get to start my game thread before the end of this month!

[JGalt73]

When's the last time we had a comfortable lead in a game... seems like Murton's game 1 homer was it...

[Master Shake]

After seeing the ERA of the new DBacks pitcher, I may be around for a bit.
