4/11 Astros (Wandy) @ Cubs (Hill) 1:20 CT - POSTPONED

[C.C.]

Rich Hill is our STOPPER. There is no doubt about that.

 

I agree. I think Rich is going to have a better year than Carlos.

 

In that scenerio. Lilly is not a bad #3 at all. Now what to do about #4 and #5, that's the problem. :lol:

 

I don't think Marquis will be bad as a 4 or 5, and if Prior comes back?

[illiniguy]

Might get swept by the Astros. Unreal. I wish baseball would do us all a favor and contract us.

[oldstyle81]

Is the weather going to allow this one to happen?

 

I think and hope it gets canceled. We can use a regroup and get ready for Cincy...I'd like to start with Rich Hill on Friday...

 

who's to say we wouldnt play on Thursday? they both have the day off

[A New Era]

Might get swept by the Astros. Unreal. I wish baseball would do us all a favor and contract us.

 

against Hill? I doubt it. It's hard watching them struggle no doubt. But they WILL get better.

I can easily see them beating us 3-1 or 3-2. Even if HIll pitches well the bullpen will have a say in this.

Well, I hope Carlos pitches like a 2 but I'm kinda thinking he'll be more like a 3--just a hunch.

 

I'm encouraged by Hill and Lilly so far and anything half way decent out of Marquis is welcomed...

 

Eventually, I think Guzman is going to be in the rotation (that's assuming Prior doesn't get himself together any time soon).

Not a chance. Carlos will pitch like a number 1 or 2.

[illiniguy]

I love all the Carlos hate. The guy is by far our best pitcher.

[NCCubFan]

Enough foolishness. I command the Cubs to start a winning streak that doesn't end until they're far enough above .500 that they'll still be above .500 after the next loss. That means they must win at least 4 in a row to give them that cushion. :D

Hate? It's ok to question Zambrano without actually hating him.

 

He isn't exempt from criticism or skepticism.

[Outshined_One]

If Hill pitches better than Z, it'll mean the Cubs have one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball.

Let's see one of these:

maybe if Johan Santana and Jake Peavy are 1 and 2

It's not hate. He's got the best track record, best stuff and is the best pitcher on the team. Doesn't mean he will be the best pitcher this season.

[Roast]

Hey, let's not get swept. Kthanksbye.

That's all I'm saying...

Is it wrong to hope for a rainout?

[TruffleShuffle]

seriously just delete or lock this game thread now, there's no way this game will be played tomorrow

The weather could change drastically overnight. It's not uncommon here that a forecast is completely wrong. Lake effect rain or snow can veer in another direction.

Aw horsefeathers.

The only problem is it's not lake effect. There's a system moving into Chicago from the west. I don't think there are any big lakes to the west of Chicago. :wink:

[Flames24Rulz]

If this game doesn't get rained out, let's just hope that we can actually score some runs.
