5/24: Cubs (Maddux) @ Marlins (Moehler) - 12:05 p.m. CT- WGN

[soapy]

Tomorrow's off day should be a great time for Dusty and Hendry to finalize and announce Dusty's three-year extension.

 

:pint:

 

Alright, enough making fun of the Cubs. Like you could do any better. You know the extension won't be longer than 2 years, to coincide with Hendry's.

 

My bad. I almost forgot. I'll stick my head back in the sand now.

So, let me get this straight..

DLee is hurt

Wood has a 91mph fastball

Word it that Prior has lost velocity too

I can almost guarantee you so has Wade Miller

Maddux is finally back to his old man self

We have the worst OF in baseball

Worst bench in the majors

 

So, basically the only things the Cubs have going for themselves is Z, and the bullpen. Great job Hendry.

 

Wood was throwing around 95-96 in his last start.

 

And speculation is he may be bumped from his next start.

Fred, you are a friend to all creatures big and small. Bless you, good sir...bless you.

Not consistently. I saw the game and he was at 91 a lot. Pre-surgery he wouldn't go lower than 96.

Walker singled to center field

 

 

 

No better time to rally!

Can we just put Rusch in? The game is already over so he can't lose it for us.

 

No, he's in the rotation again. Haven't you heard?

Barrett struck out swinging

Can you just picture the W.Sox players watching this in the locker room laughing?

Thank you, most kindly !!

Either Sunday for Wood, or Tuesday, the next time they need a 5th starter.

Rich Hill. Dusty and Hendry got together and decided that Rusch can give up just as many runs as Hill, but at a higher price.

Well, maybe the Cubs have been reading up on the benefits of a four-man rotation and decided they don't need a fifth starter.

You know what this team makes me think of? George Carlin's incomplete list of impolite words.

[BRASKYS SCOTCH]

I'm thinking about going to get lunch but am well aware of the risk of eating and then listening to Cubs baseball on gameday audio at work. Nothing's worse than being known as the "puking guy" at work.

 

So I ultimately decided to grab lunch and then listen to the game.

 

:-&

 

Because the sick face above doesn't do the sickness I feel any justice, just imagine that scene in Tommy Boy where Farley describes the car accident deriving from poor brake pads and remember the sound of the 'new guy' paramedic hurling ...

"Here comes the ambulance. 'Oh. My. God.' New guy puking in the corner... 'blluuaaaech ... blluuaaaech ... blluuaaaech.' All because you wanted to save fifteen cents on some brake pads."

 

There. That's how I feel. That and rage. But I'm too nauseated and weak to lash out.

CUBS are 0-22 when they trail at the end of the 8th inning.

 

Go CUBS !!
