4/5 Cubs (Marquis) @ Reds (Lohse) 11:35CT CSN/XM185

By the way, there's a chance for snow flurries for Sunday's game in Milwaukee and for the home opener on Monday.

 

ugh

 

Actually, Ted Lilly will start the Home Opener.. and he does pretty well in the cold. Today was a perfect example.

 

I think Chris said "ugh" because he'll be at the game.

We have a winner.

[Flames24Rulz]

The question's gonna be who sucks less, Loshe or Marquis?

 

Yep, probably. If Marquis was half as good as Lilly was today, I'd be satisfied.

 

I have a class at 12:30, but my English teacher is a diehard Cubs fan. I have pretty good hopes that he'll let us out early tomorrow.

I'm a moron.

Big Murt needs some AB's against the crappiness that is Kyle Lohse so he can break out of his 1-game slump. I'd like to see Cedeno do a little more than get caught stealing as well.

I WILL BE THERE

 

be sure not to look directly into the face of Dunn or you will go blind.

 

last time i went i got this hot pic

unfortunately i'll be down the 1st base line tomorrow

 

I don't even need to make a joke about this one.

[soccer10k]

9:35 am start time on the West Coast means I will not be watching the beginning of this game. Hell, if Marquis gets hammered, by the time I wake up, he could be out of the game.

[DiamondMind]

Please don't suck, Marquis.

 

Please don't be hot, sun.

 

this made me spit soda out my mouth, lol

[C.C.]

No MLBTV? Can someone explain to me why the Cubs aren't on? I thought it was away games that are on, not home games? And please go slow and gentle, I'm a MLBTV noob. :x

Why is it an early start after a night game? I don't like that at all. Not personally, just from a team perspective.

travel day

 

btw, why is Rich Hill not the #3? Lou didn't want back to back lefties?

Yeah, he said early in camp that Lilly would be #2 and Hill #4 to break them up and get as much R/L/R/L as possible.

Nice lineup. Hopefully Lee can make up for Pierre and Perez's inabiliity to get on base :wink:

 

No but seriously, it is a good lineup. Let's hope that we can actually shut down Javier Valentin for once.

DeRosa is really starting to grow on me..After the hits yesterday, and the way he shows patience at the plate. Im impressed. Only if Izturis was replaced by a better hitter we'd be stacked top to bottom. Edited April 5, 2007 by PrimeTime

[NomarSammy]

Izturis had a goood day yesterday and what I really liked is he learned in his approach. Game came up and swings at first pitch with bases loaded, game 2 he was patient and got into a hitters count and got the hit to right. He has been just fine in the first two games

Just a reminder that Predictions Contest entries are due today -- submit yours in the Events Forum!

[Andy]

Hopefully Murt steps up today and holds down that 2 slot. I really like the way this team played yesterday.

The game is showing up on MLB's mediacenter so I'm pretty sure the game will be there for you, unless for some reason the game is blacked out in your area. :-k

Truth. Yesterday I realized that for the first time in a long time we weren't totally screwed if we got to the bottom of the lineup.

What about when Murton would bat 7th because he was unproven and Barrett would hit 8th because 'dude catchers bat 8th'?
