5/17 Nationals (Day) @ Cubs (Marshall) 7:05 PM CSN

[Rusch33]

Game to start @ 7:55 according to Pat.

[Jon]

Tarp coming off and they're saying 7:55.

 

I don't really get why they put the tarp back on. If it was going to rain, it was going to be minimal.

 

And it didn't.

That's why the Cubs are a bush league organization.

Either you're going to play or you're not, it's not hard to figure out.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soooooo... anyone know the lineups? :lol:

 

Cedeno batting 8th? Has he been majorly sucking lately or something? Before my self imposed break from the Cubs, he was hitting second everyday. What's the deal with that?

 

Yeah he has been neifi-esque lately. His average has dipped to .281 and his OBP is probably under .300 by now.

Ouch!

 

Fred, how bout some previous 7 day stats for me?

[Jon]

Why exactly does Will Carroll love Juan Pierre so much? Is this just because it's on WGN Radio?

 

And now I remember why I stopped listening to Sports Central a while ago.

Yes, that qualifies as major suckage.

 

Ummm, don't we pay a hitting coach damn good money to help youngsters out of slumps like these?

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

sup party people...nice quick inning for the kid...let's get some runs early and often...by early and often i mean 1 all together

[Shavo]

That was Cubs-esque by the Nats there.

[Flames24Rulz]

nice bunt by Pierre.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre bunted toward first base for a single

[Jon]

Alright. What I'd give for a first-inning run.
