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

[moorecg]

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.

 

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'?

 

Yeah...but then we were screwed at the TOP of our lineup.

I'm still kind of in the "At least we can't get swept" mode from last year.

whomever decided those openings were good should be fired

Juan Pierre was there, we were always screwed.

Agreed...

 

But man...if we could win today it would make the Cards 0-3 start that much more enjoyable....let me tell you...watching all the big huge chunks of sky falling down here in St. Louis from my office window this morning has been great.

before the pregame show they have some opening with a guy singing "this is our year" sounds like a bad 80's singer.

 

before the game they have a [expletive] country version of take me out to the ball game

[Shilzzz]

anyone else get annoyed that the sound comcast uses is a metal bat 'pinging' against the ball, rather than a wood one?

 

they could use the sound floyd made on that homerun he hit in s.t. ... metal bats sound cheap.

Ah. Thank you. I'm not listening to the radio, so I had no clue what you were talking about.

No, but I don't get comcast so I have no need to worry :wink:

Prediction: First Cubs HR comes today. My pick: A-Ram

[Chocolate Milk]

Man, what happened to the "Everybody loves the Cubs" song on WGN radio? This country music intro is a travesty.

[Derwood]

w00t! Len & Bob on EI today

That song was a good catchy intro...I miss it..Anyone know where to get a clip of it?

[BigbadB]

I'm expecting the Cub bats to toss up lots of XBH's today.

[Derwood]

I'm expecting the Cub bats to toss up lots of XBH's today.

 

can they just hit them instead?

[Derwood]

3 straight days of road grays. This is bliss

[Butterscup1679666578]
