5/8 Cubs (Maddux) @ Padres (Young) 9:05pm CSN/XM 188

[sunnydoo]

Why is there so much secrecy over the Theriot promotion? Haven't heard anything all day about who got demoted or what the Cubs thinking behind the promotion was.

 

maybe a trade? only thing i can think of....

[sweetpeteman]

any lineups?

 

not yet, still over an hour till game time, so while they may be set, they havnt been released, especially not by Dusty who believes that surprise is a key to victory.

[sunnydoo]

Still 2 zippo Rocks heading to bottom of 2.

 

Marquis is wild as hades, 3 BBs and 2 HBP so far in just 2 innings.

[sunnydoo]

Wow was reading something on YahooSports and didnt believe them, so i looked up for myself.

 

Cub RBI leaders and last RBI

1. Barrett April 21st

2. Murton May 1st

3. Walker April 28th

4. Ramirez May 7th (also had one on may 6th...previously was April 26th)

5. Jones May 7th (previously April 28th)

6. Lee April 16th

 

That is a drought.

[sunnydoo]

Holliday goes deep for the Rocks....3-0 in the 3rd.

[UMFan83]

Koronka with another solid performance, on ESPN. 6 IP 2 Runs, Rangers up 6-2

[NorthsideAvenger]

To make it easier for Cubs to learn how to hit, should the Cubs be demoted to England and forced to play "Cricket?"

Since Hairstons in the lineup and Perez most likely didn't get dealt why call up another weak hitting middle infielder for a team that badly needs offense?

[Laura]

Jones batting 7th.

[sunnydoo]

Back to back singles in the Top of the 5th helped the Rockies score 2 more.

 

Through 5, Jeff Francis has it on auto-pilot-- 5-0.

 

Should be Marquis' last inning here in the 6th.

nice. Can gain a full game on the Cards tonight (if the Rockies hold on) and .5 on the Reds.

[sweetpeteman]

I have a feeling that Hairston is going to have a good game.

[Mizzou]

You know what would be awesome?

 

A WIN!

[E.J.]

Jon pointed out in transactions that Restovich was sent down. Yay, Bynum is still on the team. Way to go Cobs. :evil: :wall:

I know I can contain myself if it does happen, but boy...I almost cried when we went up 3-2 yesterday!

 

WHOOO HOOO, I am ready to party tonight!!!

They both suck, but I would have rather had Bynum be sent down because Dusty plays him more.

C.Young is 0-2 at home this year. I know that is a small sample size which don't mean much, but he has always done better away with a lifetime record of 9-1 in away games. If he were a left hander and pitching poorly at home, he would be a cinch tonight because that is the type of left hander that beats the Cubs. Fortunately he is right handed and is going up against Maddux who is looking to rebound off his Ariz loss. I am going out on a limb and prediciting an end to the losing streak and a Cubs win tonight before the Giants series. :roll:

[E.J.]

Marquis just gave up a 1000 ft. homerun to Holliday. His 2nd homerun on the night. 6-0 Colorado.

[UMFan83]

Koronka with the win, 4-1 3.65 ERA for him this year.
