4/10 Astros (Sampson) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20CT CSN / XM185

[A New Era]

hopefully this home plate ump will have a clue

 

Oh lord...That pitch by Howry...two pitches before the HR.... I said a string of words so bad I'm pretty sure I secured my place in hell.

 

Well if that's all it takes, you'll be there with Piniella atleast.

[Laura]

Could someone tell me who will be pitching on the 13th? Rotation has me a little confused right now...

 

According to Cubs.com, Zambrano will be. They're skipping Miller this time through the order.

 

Didnt Lou say they werent going to skip? It's not fair for the 5th guy because he can go a week w/o pitching??

 

See why I'm confused? They are keeping Zambrano on 5 days rest correct? So he will pitch and Miller goes after him or is skipped all together?

 

From Cubs.com:

 

One of the downsides of being the fifth starter is that you often don't get regular work because of off-days early in the season. That's the case with Wade Miller, who will make his next start on his ninth day, not his fifth. Miller made his first start on Sunday against Milwaukee.

 

"We'll put him in the bullpen a few days to get a couple innings tune-up work." ...

 

The rotation for the weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds will be Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis. Friday will be a rematch of Opening Day when Zambrano and Aaron Harang squared off.

Awesome. And by "Awesome", I mean not awesome. DFA the bum! Bring Rocky Cherry up to the show. He deserves a promotion.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope the Cubs actually try to win this game. That would be awesome.

You secured your place in hell the minute you became a Packer's fan.

 

Yes!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Game-time temperature: 46°F

Feels like: 41°F

 

Winds blowing from RF to LF at about 10 mph.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Don't suck Cubs. I'll be following closely from 1:20 pm to 3:00 pm on my phone, and then I'll be back from class.

Sounds like my schedule as well.

[soccer10k]

I'll have this game on the computer and Champions League on the TV.

Remember that one time when Marquis didn't suck? Yes, that one time. Those days are long gone.

 

Cubs still win this one though, 23-15.

5 FGs? Houston's kicker must be good.

It's not 5 FGs, it's 2 TDs with a 2-point conversion after one of them. :D

[A New Era]

We WON yesterday. Thanks satan (boyd).

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Dear Cubs,

 

Two days of suckage is not acceptable. Stop immediately.

 

Love,

 

Vance

[tfarks]

To extend the point made above I formally request the Cubs to immediately and effectively reduce the level of sucktitude that has resulted in 2 consecutive losses, thank you and God bless.

Marquis already had his good start this year, Cubs lose 11-4

[C.C.]

I'm not feeling this game at all. I don't like the matchup of Marquis Vs. Clee.

It'll be cold...wind blowing in...he should be fine...he'll save the truly bad games for August...when we're hopefully in contention and it can really hurt us.

I actually think that's the best strategy short and long-term.

[Schwarber Fan]

Bruce any lineup's yet?

 

My guess is

 

Soriano

Murton

Lee

Ramirez

Jones

Barrett

DeRosa

Izturis

Marquis

It's funny, most of my Yankee fan friends are saying the samething about A-Rod. They all still hate him. I have no idea why.

Carlos Lee, one of two people I'd like to see brushed off the plate, the other is Adam Dunn.

My, one, Yankee fan friend hates ARod too. She thinks that liking/accepting him takes away from Jeter's adoration--which makes no sense to me but it seems to be a running theme with many in that fandom.

Isn't that kind of like a Cubs fan saying they don't want them to win the WS because then they won't be "loveable loosers" anymore? That's just plain dumb logic.
