5/29 Reds (Ramirez) vs. Cubs (Wood) 1:20 P.M. C.T. CSN

[LetsPlayTwo]

Have fun watching this game, those who still care. I pity you. On a lighter note, have a happy Memorial Day!

[Cubbies4Life]

I'm interested in watching it, we need Wood to start playing better. Either we're gonna have to keep him if he has no trade value so he might as well be good for us or if we want him to have any trade value at all he is going to have to prove he can stay healthy and pitch good.

Fortunately I won't have to watch this because I have to work tomorrow.

87 degrees with a 12-15 MPH wind out tomorrow. Cubs go up early, but the Reds will rally and score 3 unanswered TDs as the Kid, Kearns, and Dunn all go deep 3 times each.

 

Predicted Final- Reds 28 Cubs 6.

Wow you're being generous. 6 runs for the Cubs? We just used up 10 games worth of runs today. Literally.

[badger1679666666]

2 Scenarios:

 

1) Woody gives up 4 jacks and a bunch of walks and makes it 3 innings.

 

2) Bullpen blows the 35th game of Wood's career. CubbieRich stands upon soap box announcing that an 0-1 kerry wood can't even win one game in his first 3 (despite 2 being blown) so he's worthless.

Actually, at first glance, Woody looks kind of whitetrashy.

 

I could see him out in the front yard of the trailer, sitting on a couch, cap turned backwards with a sleevless T on sluggin back a Old Mil.

 

The goatee, or whatever that is, also adds to the look.

White trashy or not, he doesn't look like he's about to succumb to scurvy or something.
