5/9 Cubs (Hill) @ San Fran. (Schmidt) 9:15 WGN/INHD/XM189

[B]

It appears everyone is tired of losing and now afraid to make gamethreads. I will end the streak tonight, and Tobias can take it from there.

Q: What's the difference between this and the Cubs?

 

 

 

A: The bucket.

Let's cut to the chase...Cubs lose this game 7-2. Hill goes 3 innings giving up 5 runs.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Bonds may not only pass Ruth this game...he could pass Aaron. It could be that bad of a game.

[C.C.]

Bonds may not only pass Ruth this game...he could pass Aaron. It could be that bad of a game.

 

Funny but so true! Espically because Hill said he's going right after Bonds tonight. I'm sorry Rich Hill going straight after anyone is not good.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cubs lose, infinity to all the Cubs players found dead.

[NCCubFan]

STOP THIS CRAP NOW, CUBS!

[oldstyle81]

i can only see bad things in this game

 

1, the pitcher almost no hit us in 2004 and kept us in check in 2005 (we ended up winning once in their bullpen)

 

2, you dont want to be the team and pitcher that gives up 714 and 715, Hill cant find the strike zone and if he hangs one, bye bye babe

[badger1679666666]

We are a stinking, festering pile of crap and I get to watch it tonight. Joy.

[Big Fergie J]

Bonds may not only pass Ruth this game...he could pass Aaron. It could be that bad of a game.

 

So true, so true.

 

I will watch this game anyway after sitting out last night's debacle.

 

Here's to hoping for a wi........oh just forget it.

[NCCubFan]

Crappy,

Ugly

Baseball

Sucks

:bangs head against wall:

[Marco4]

I bought a Green Day album yesterday.

 

The Cubs NEED a win because of that.

[Andy]

Perfect game tonight for Schmidt.

[Master Shake]

I hate to say it, but we could very well get swept this series.

 

BTW, when does Z start?

So Dempster should be fresh, no? :x

[Chris]

We win?

[LoneStarCubFan]

Score.

[Mizzou]

Normally, I'd be excited that I'll be able to watch all 9 innings of a Cubs game cause it doesn't happen often. But I just don't care at this point.

[Chocolate Milk]

So does Barry break or just tie Ruth's record tonight?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm going to watch a minor league game tonight. To Tivo or not to Tivo...that is the question.

[Derwood]

I'm pretty sure Bonds isn't playing tonight. But he will somehow still break Ruth's mark (not record...it isn't a record dammit!) without every coming to bat. He's that good
