5/13 Padres (Young) @ Cubs (Maddux) 1:20 CSN/XM188

[Coach C]

Wow, what a change of a month it is.

 

At April, the Cubs Suckage meter was here.

Currently, their suckage is completely full, and on the brink of breaking the suckage meter.

I'm getting a bit tired of the Cubs doing this.

So here's a message from Uncle Sam, to the Chicago Cubs.

Win.

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

Win, you'll like it. It's really fun, it is a good habit.

[Mark_R]

You know what I hate? Losing? No. The Cubs? Absolutely.

 

This team just sucks the meat missile.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This team sucks so bad I can't bring myself to watch the games I TiVo in order to write the re-caps as I should.

[C.C.]

I think we lost the game already....

[otis89]

We suck.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

GREAT NEWS: Dave Roberts has stole 5 bases off maddux already and the cubs have just put in freddie bynum.....they are pitiful

Go CUBS !!!

[CubfaninCA]

Cubs win the next 2. The offense is showing a little life and they're due to beat SD some time. Maddux will get it done and Hill gets his first win on Sunday.

 

The last 3 of 4 has been a rough stretch. Schmidt & Wright have given the Cubs a tough time for a while and Guzman went today.

[Outshined_One]

I predict Maddux goes 5, gives up 4 earned, and the Cubs lose 5-1.

[badger1679666666]

We blow ass-turds..

[gerby23]

First morning post! That said, I would like our second win in 2 weeks please. Thanks!

[macuser1]

That's nap time for me though, after getting up early today.

 

Although I respect maddux enough for his professionalism and hard work, I will watch for a few innings.

 

It's the other turkeys that..... well, never mind. It's obvious to everyone what those guys are.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Which Maddux shows up today? I'm putting my money on bad Maddux.

[Master Shake]

The Cubs suck so much that Pamela Anderson is getting jealous.

[Coach C]

Heh.

 

For whatever it's worth, if the Cubs somehow win this game, I won't be able to start the next thread, at least not until sometime after 8:00 p.m. Central Time.

 

I'll eventually get it up, but if it gets past 9:00p.m. CST, then somebody is more than welcome to at least spot-start for me.

 

Thanks,

 

Coach C

Someone on another site is reporting the following lineup for the Cubs today:

 

Pierre cf

Cedeno ss

Walker 1b

Ramirez 3b

Jones rf

Hairston lf

Perez 2b

Blanco c

Maddux p

 

I refuse to believe that Dusty is that ignorant. [-X

[otis89]

Wow. He actually didn't find a way to put Bynum in there?

[Derwood]

Well Maddux is pitching so we should give him no run support at all. I hear he likes a challenge. I propose:

 

CF Pierre

LF Bynum

1B Mabry

3B Neifi

2B Hairston

C Blanco

SS Rusch

RF Clines
